here dead lie we (2019)

Workshopped by Scholar Cantorum, Pusey House Chapel Oxford 4 March 2019
here dead we lie was written to commemorate the First World War and follows in the style of a Remembrance Day Service. The piece, based on the poem of the same name by AE Housman, is built around a roll call of students names who fought from Worcester College, Oxford. The refrain of ‘Here dead we lie’ underpins the piece as each name is read out before falling into silence. |
