Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (1855) provides the text for this work. His poems, music in themselves, are also filled with musical references both surprisingly explicit and hauntingly spiritual, "Proud Music of the Storm" being but one such example. A few of its lines are excerpted here in "Sound Leads O'er All" for solo baritone voice, SATB choir, piano and strings. The music (including fleeting references to Luther, Mozart and Mahler) uses some atonal gestures over a solid tonal foundation, as it tracks Whitman's gradual realization that, of all the senses leading to his soul, indeed, "sound leads o'er all." Altogether, a powerful celebration of music's power! Performance time approximately 11 minutes.
