Event Details
To commemorate the Centenery of Armistice, Phoenix Choir present Fauré's Requiem, and premiere a new commission by Blue Mountains composer Rowen Fox. All This is Ended is a setting of Rupert Brooke’s poem The Dead, written in 1914. Brooke’s vision of a white unbroken frost that shines peace under the night echoes Fauré’s paradise, and is presented here in Fox’s warm and accessible style that is well known to Mountains audiences. The new work has been made possible by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs as a part of the Armistice Centenary Grants Program. It is dedicated to the memory of all those, civilian and military, who lost their lives in the Great War.
Featured non-Australian music: Gabriel Fauré - Requiem, John Stainer - Nunc Dimitis in Bb
