The echoes of war are poignant and nostalgic, stirring and sorrowful, reflecting times of intense living and dying. Emma Brown and Han-Louis Meijer present music from and about the First and Second World Wars, including uplifting songs of hope and love, and songs of remembrance and loss.
From “For the Fallen,” by Laurence Binyon
“As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.”
Emma Brown read music at Cambridge and then moved to the Netherlands to study singing and composition at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. Her music is published by Edition HH. For more information, please see www.ejebrown.com
