In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields, the popular World War I poem by John McCrae, serves as the centerpiece for this work of the same name. The poem, recited here with the music, memorializes the soldiers buried in Flanders Fields, Belgium, where poppies grow. But the words have since come to symbolize fallen soldiers of all wars, in all places. The music ranges from an introduction and march of patriotic optimism and fervor, to the dark realities of the battlefield, to a concluding hymn of pride and hope. Perfect for a concert saluting Memorial Day or Remembrance Day celebrations or any patriotic event. And, the perfect vehicle for spotlighting a celebrity narrator.
