For SATB with piano or chamber orchestra. Crossing the Bar creates images of the sea using poetry from Tennyson, with the "final voyage" leading us out across the water, to see our "Pilot, face to face." The musical setting endeavors to express the growth from peaceful to ecstatic moods, the tolling of the bell, the meeting of the Pilot. "May there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to sea."
