A Concert for Remembrance Day - Dona nobis pacem
Cadogan Hall, SW1X 9DQ , [Venue Details]The City of London Choir presents two compelling British war requiems to commemorate the Armistice of 11 November 1918.
Dona nobis pacem is Vaughan Williams’ heartfelt response to his own experience of the First World War, written in the shadow of a looming second global conflict. A powerful and dramatic work, it starkly decries the cruelty of war; its insistent cry is for peace among nations and goodwill to all.
Too young for active combat at the Front, Gerald Finzi was deeply affected by the deaths of close family and friends. His secular Requiem is an exquisite example of his gift for word-setting: poetry and melody combined in a poignant lament for lost youth and for the centuries-old pattern of rural life, irreversibly changed by the destructive havoc of war.
Judith Weir’s beautiful setting of American poetry reflects on Earth today: our place in it, and what lies above, and beyond.
