The music makers : op. 69. Introduction ; We are the music makers ; With wonderful deathless ditties ; We, in the ages lying ; A breath of our inspiration ; They had no vision amazing ; And therefore today is thrilling ; But we, with our dreaming and singing ; For we are afar with the dawning ; Great hail! We cry to the comers (39:00) -- Sea pictures : op. 37. Sea slumber song ; In haven ; Sabbath morning at sea ; Where corals lie ; The swimmer (23:00). |
