Composer Patrick Hawes has been commissioned to set the words of Wilfred Owens’ unfinished poem ‘I know the music’ as a choral piece in commemoration of WW1. The Royal British Legion, Poppy Appeal Concert in Henley-on-Thames on 8 November 2014, will feature the World Premiere of the new choral music.
The London Mozart Players and The Portsmouth Grammar School will present the World Première performances of a major new co-commission from Jonathan Dove on 9 November 2014 in Portsmouth Cathedral and 14 November in Fairfield Halls Croydon. For an Unknown Soldier is a setting for tenor solo, children’s choir, adult chorus and chamber orchestra of nine poems about the First World War. Opening with a setting of Wilfred Owen’s portentous ‘1914’, the work offers a moving meditation on the tragedy of war with poems by Mary Gabrielle Collins, Helen Dircks and Ivor Gurney among others.

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the First World War and 70th anniversary of D-Day.
