I was listening to this on my TV and around 1:40 in I stopped it and put it on my phone with headphones lol...knew I was in for something special and this didn't disappoint. This is really exquisite and also totally fearless. The relentless dissonance & use of homophony to basically attack the ear with sound at key parts of the poem is really thoughtful and effective. I would be afraid to sing this but imagine the satisfaction of pulling it off...this choir was up to the challenge and what a reckoning it is. I sometimes struggle to figure out how to convey sadness, disgust or other negative emotions in my own music and this has given me a lot to think about. Amazing work!
Only on the last line did I recognize the words and was able to put my finger on where I’ve heard it before. This came up in my recommended and is BEYOND. I mean this puts me at a complete loss for words. Absolute powerhouse of a piece.
Now this is what good remembrance is. Visceral. Horrifying. Communicating the intense horror like nothing seen on the continent before, sending a generation of boys into the meat grinder to massage the egos of a few heads of state. Never. Again.
Exquisitely polished. A moving and unique work capturing this bleak classic poem. Quite simply an incredible new choral work which will be a real tour de force for choirs seeking very challenging and highly dynamic new a capella repertoire. This is the kind of piece you want to go back and listen to again and again. Breathtaking performance.
Absolutely incredible. Vivid and corporeal, Ethan. Bravo! And well done to the choir. It's a difficult piece to have performed so well. Stunning all around
This gives Raua Needmine vibes but is significantly more accessible than that work. Wonderful composition, adding it to my shortlist of pieces to consider for my high school chamber choir for festival season.
@@oscargill423 again, this is not about your taste in music, noone cares about your taste in music. Your understanding of music is what's horrid. Music isn't subjective, just because your taste in it is.
At risk of being pedantic, I doubt Owen wrote the poem with Italianate Latin pronunciation in mind. He's more likely to have used insular English pronunciation.

Absolutely stunning and gut-wrenching. Bravo, Ethan! I will be recommending every choir director I know to listen to this piece.

This is honestly one of the best choir pieces I have ever heard. Utterly beautiful.

I know a piece is good when I like react it without realising.
You don't know when a piece is good, ever.
@@Whatismusic123 I can't tell if this is a philosophical musing or an insult to my music taste, and either way, please elaborate.
@@oscargill423 insult to your music understanding
@@Whatismusic123 Music is subjective and no one has any right to tell anyone that their music taste is wrong or bad. Your turn.
