About A soft sea washed around the house
Harold Schonewille's A soft sea washed around the house is a secular SATB setting of an evocative English text. The words paint a vivid picture of a child's imagination, transforming a house into a magical ship sailing on a summer breeze. With a butterfly as captain and a bee as helmsman, the verse describes a "delighted crew" experiencing an "entire universe." The composer captures this sense of wonder and gentle movement through his setting for four-part choir, creating a charming and imaginative choral experience.
