Performance by Shannon Taylor, April Grosskopf, Patricia Winchester, Michael Lamendola, James Vercouteren, and Hunter Williamson at Christopher Newport University Composer's Forum. This poem by William Ernest Henley has been used in various artistic mediums because of its stirring imagery and message; the concept of being the master of our fate and captaining our soul is an inspiring thought. However, so often in life we are unable to be that captain which we claim inspires us. Much of life is being tossed in the seas and responding, rather than expertly navigating so the tone of this piece reflects defiance in the face of concept as one tries to master fate. But are we actually able to gain that power or are we merely yelling at the ocean telling it that we have it mastered?
