Boy with Orange (out of Kosovo) – by Alex Eddington

Rememberance Day is coming and you might be looking for appropriate music for your choir for that occasion. Cypress Choral Music has a vast Remembrance Day collection. One of our favourites is “Boy with Orange” by Alex Eddington.

Boy with Orange (out of Kosovo) takes its text from the poem of the same name by U.K. poet Lotte Kramer. Born in Germany in 1923, Kramer escaped to England as a child refugee. She started writing poetry in her 30s to help process her experiences. This poem is a striking universal image of how war affects the lives of children and their families. It reflects the devastating reality of modern warfare, and the resulting global refugee crisis.
