Description

Set of Parts. Voice part not included

Dover Beach is a lyric poem by the English poet Matthew Arnold set to music by Samuel Barber.

The title, locale, and subject of the poem's descriptive opening lines is the shore of the English ferry port of Dover, in Kent, facing Calais, in France, at the Strait of Dover, the narrowest part (21 miles (34 km)) of the English Channel, where Arnold spent his honeymoon in 1851. Many of the beaches in this part of England are made up of small stones or pebbles rather than sand, and Arnold describes the sea ebbing over the stones as a “grating roar”.
