About
for SATB and organ/piano with optional congregation This setting of three stanzas from 'For the Fallen' is poignant and atmospheric. A serene refrain for unison voices is interposed between evocatively turbulent passages for SATB choir. The accompaniment should ideally be played on the organ.

Many choir directors will already be thinking about next November, since this year will be the centenary of the end of the first world war. Paul Drayton's For Remembrance, . . . featuring the well-known poem by Binyon that includes the words 'They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old', perfectly captures the mood of the text . . . the congregation/audience can also join in if they have a little practice first: the composer indicates where in the score this might happen. Drayton, ever the practical musician, makes sure that his melody stays within the range of the average member of the congregation . . . the craftsmanship throughout this eight-page octavo is first-rate. I hope the piece becomes a Remembrance Sunday staple well beyond the special considerations of 2018
