Jacob de Haan: Remembrance Day: Concert Band: Score & Parts

Remembrance Day (Totengedenken) is a chorale-like piece in memory of those who have died in service. Jacob de Haan composed this work for a concert by the symphonic wind orchestra Symphonic Winds which he conducted in Germany on Volkstrauertag (national remembrance day). The composition is based on a text from Totengedenken (Commemoration of Those Who Have Died). This narrative text is provided in four languages and is intended to be spoken (using a microphone) ad libitum during the performance. Choir parts are also available to complement the performance.
