The World at War: Memorial

Afternoon Concert Music in the Great War
Episode 10 of 10

Katie Derham introduces music in memorial of the fallen in war. Nielsen: Symphony No 4. Bliss: Morning Heroes. Stanford: A Song of Agincourt. Mozart: Symphony No 31.

Katie Derham closes Radio 3's Music in the Great War series: today, a memorial to the fallen with music by Carl Nielsen, his Symphony No. 4, The Inextinguishable, written against the backdrop of the war, exalting the human spirit and what he saw as the 'elemental will to live'. It's followed by Sir Arthur Bliss's Morning Heroes, a symphony for orator, chorus and orchestra dedicated to his brother 'and other comrades killed in battle'.
Closing the afternoon, two works with the Ulster Orchestra taken from recently recorded concerts: first, Charles Villiers Stanford's A Song of Agincourt, then Mozart's Symphony No. 31, 'Paris'.
