One of my favorite compositions of all time is Vaughan Williams oratorio
"Dona Nobis Pacem".  It sets passages from Whitman and the Bible to some
absolutely glorious music.  I believe VW also used Whitman for another
coimp.  but I don't remember which.  There's also a setting of "To What You
Said", by Bernstein.  I know I've heard more, but I'm drawing a blank at
the moment.  Take care,
