After Poppy Day – narrated (4’)

This music was conceived after seeing a poppy that had been worn by someone, now lying, squashed, on the forecourt of our church, the day after Remembrance Sunday. It struck me, that this was like the image of a fallen soldier. I came home and wrote a poem on the subject, which inspired a vocal piece.I subsequently arranged it so that the poem may be read, over the music. This may be suitable for an occasion where a singer is not available, or this kind of arrangement is preferred.

The original vocal version is also available.

All money from the sale of this piece, either in sale of score or mp3 downloads or performance royalties, will be donated to The Royal British Legion or Help For Heroes.
