About this arrangement

SSATTB voices and harp (or organ or piano) - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.56-0137-E Composed by Howard Goodall. Instrument parts. 32 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #56-0137-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.56-0137-E). English. For SATB voices with a soloist (to which voices add gradually,) the text is as if someone is speaking to their long-dead ancestors. They granted a gift of life and hope for those who came after. Their “names and faiths survive.” And just as those in the past were faced with decisions and made them for the benefit of those who follow, we now have the same responsibility. The music is mostly in unison and remains on one staff even when it divides into multiple parts (which it does in only 14 of the 89 measures). This is a singable piece with an easy but supportive piano part, which could be useful for many ensembles in many situations. Commissioned by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. The first performance was given by the Lady Margaret School Choir, with the Aurora Orchestra conducted by Howard Goodall, in the Great Hall of London’s Guildhall on 27 January 2010, for Holocaust Memorial Day 2010. This SSATTB version was arranged for VOCES8. It was later adapted for the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge and Graham Ross who performed it in the Great Hall of London’s Guildhall on 27 January 2016, for Holocaust Memorial Day 2016.
