Description

Kevin Mayhew and Nick Fawcett have produced a stunning and thought-provoking work on the horror of war and the hope we can all have, through a true and living faith in God, of a brighter tomorrow. Though inspired by the life of Harry Patch, the last known survivor of the First World War, who died in 2009, the creators of the piece have an outlook that is future-oriented and energising.
The music, which mirrors carefully the deep meaning of the text, may be performed easily by a church or chapel choir, either on its own or as part of a longer service for peace.This is a work that will stay with both choir and congregation long after the words and music have ended.
