By Bliss Carman and Arthur Shepherd

Book Overview

""The City In The Sea"" is a musical composition by Arthur Shepherd, first published in 1913. It is a poem for orchestra, chorus of mixed voices, and baritone solo. The piece is inspired by the poem of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, which tells the story of a city that sinks into the sea due to the sins of its inhabitants. Shepherd's music captures the eerie and haunting atmosphere of the poem, with the chorus and soloist singing haunting melodies over a dark and brooding orchestral score. The piece is a dramatic and powerful work that showcases Shepherd's skill as a composer and his ability to bring to life the vivid imagery of Poe's poetry. ""The City In The Sea"" is a must-listen for fans of classical music and lovers of Poe's dark and atmospheric writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
