A Concert for Remembrance Day. The City of London Choir presents two British war requiems to commemorate the Armistice of 11th November 1918. Dona nobis pacem is Vaughan Williams’ heartfelt response to his own experience of the First World War, written in the shadow of a looming second global conflict. A powerful and dramatic work, it starkly decries the cruelty of war; its insistent cry is for peace among nations and goodwill to all. Gerald Finzi was deeply affected by the deaths of close family and friends. His secular Requiem is an exquisite example of his gift for poetry and melody combined in a poignant lament for lost youth and for the centuries-old pattern of rural life, irreversibly changed by the destructive havoc of war.
