The Great War Symphony is an epic new work from British composer, Patrick Hawes, written to commemorate the First World War. Using text compiled from diaries, letters and other first-hand accounts, the symphony has been composed as part of the national Remember WWI project. The symphony, for choir and orchestra, will be in four movements with each movement depicting a year of the war, to be premiered in its entirety in 2018.
We want as many people as possible to become involved in the evolution of this project, having the opportunity to participate in the genesis of The Great War Symphony and eventually the full premiere and commemorative events in 2018. The first part of this process is the release of a FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD of an excerpt from the work - Christian Soldiers and FREE SHEET MUSIC for performance. Patrick has created versions of Christian Soldiers for Orchestra, SATB choir & Organ and another for Brass Band, all available to download for free using the links below.
