We Will Remember Them is a collection of some of the finest pieces of choral music on the theme of remembrance. The volume is suitable for church, cathedral, school, youth, and community choirs. It contains music appropriate for Remembrance Sunday services, and beautiful pieces suitable for concerts, memorial and funeral services, and other acts of remembrance and reflection.
The book includes classic choral works such as Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei, Edgar Bainton’s And I saw a new heaven and William Harris’s Bring us, O Lord God alongside other works by well-loved composers including John Tavener (Funeral Ikos and Exhortation and Kohima), Richard Rodney Bennett (A Good-Night), Paul Mealor (In My Dreams) and Eric Whitacre (Nox aurumque). New arrangements, such as David Hill’s choral reworking of Edward Elgar’s Nimrod, are included with other new works by some of the best contemporary composers: Graham Fitkin’s The Christmas Truce, Tarik O’Regan’s We Remember Them, and Jeremy Dale Roberts’ I heard a voice.
