Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1323469 Composed by Colin Eatock. Classical,Contemporary. 14 pages. Colin Eatock Music #911695. Published by Colin Eatock Music (A0.1323469). Fifth movement from Five Poems From the Great War (2018); may be performed separately; a cappella SATB choir, ca. 2 min.The composer writes: Between 1914 and 1918, an astonishing amount of poetry was written about “The Great War” – the largest and bloodiest conflict the world had yet seen. This body of poetry is diverse in the extreme: including both works of pro-war patriotism and glorification, and anti-war poems about the horrors and futility of the conflict. Laurence Binyon was too old to enlist in the British Army, but he served as an orderly in field hospitals in France. Excerpts from his poem “For the Fallen” are often presented under the title “Ode To Remembrance.” Here, I have chosen the second, third and sixth stanzas.
