Choral Service
The Armed Man
Remembrance Sunday
10 November
6.30pm
with Trinity Festival Choir and an instrumental ensemble
All are welcome - no admission charge
Conductor Stephen Haylett
The service will include a performance of Sir Karl Jenkins’ ever-popular ‘The Armed Man". This piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries to mark the millennium in 2000. It reflects on the passing of ‘the most war-torn and destructive century in human history’ and looks forward in hope to a more peaceful future. Musically, it draws on a range of compositional styles, from Renaissance counterpoint to Romantic and ‘heart on sleeve’ melodic invention, including a beautiful cello solo in the ‘Benedictus’.
