If you have the chance to sing this song, please do it! This song is so complex, yet it is amazingly beautiful. It is unique in sound but the glissandos and dissonance add so much. Such a powerful song with exquisite lyrics. This is my favorite choir piece I have ever had the opportunity to sing! Andrea Ramsey is a genius and did an amazing job with this song!
Recording sung by the 2019 All Southwest Tennessee Honor Choir Soprano Solo sung by Cara Cooper from Arlington High School Tenor Solo sung by Cameron Hubbert from Bartlett High School
It is a very powerful song with a very important message. If presented to a choir, the conductor should take time to explain who wrote the poem and why certain words and phrases were written. Better still, have a chorus member do the research and present it to the choir. WW I was a different kind of hell on earth and both the poem and the music combine to reflect the suffering of soldiers in trench warfare.
It hits different when you were apart of it😵💫
