MUSIC - ARMISTICE HYMN
(Click on the images above to view example scores
and the instrumentation list)
This wordless hymn for concert band with optional part for organ was
written in 2018 to commemorate the centenary of the Armistice of
November 11, 1918. It is a reflective musical statement in tribute to the
fallen of the 1914-1918 Great War.
​
The music features a contemplative, hymn-like melody intended to invoke
the stillness of the Flanders war graves. Repeated several times and joined
by more robust themes, the music builds to a powerful climax.
​
As the music moves to a close, a descant-like theme is quietly repeated in
a brief moment of poignant reflection before the intense conclusion:
a loud acclamation recognising the ultimate sacrifice of the fallen of all
nations.
