Thank you for posting this! Delius is one of my favorite composers.

So epic & sweet

I wonder if this was inspired by Holst's Ode to Death? Between the orchestration, Whitman lines and the meaning behind the piece it is very reminiscent. It's a beautiful piece in its own right, though.

[@maxgregorycompositions6216]

It is a bit Holstian in places, isn't it. Elgarian in others, though. R.V.W's Sea Symphony springs to mind at brief points.
