Important New Commission for World War One Commemoration
2014 marks the centenary of the outbreak of the 1914-18 War. To commemorate
this event the Birmingham Bach Choir has commissioned the poet Euan
Tait and its own conductor/composer, Paul Spicer, to write a major
choral and orchestral work for performance in July 2014. The work
is called Unfinished Remembering and is planned as a choral symphony
(with soprano and baritone soloists) in four movements. In commemorating
the Great War, the work also commemorates all wars and, perhaps especially
those with which we have been recently involved in Iraq and Afghanistan:
more details here.
