In Flanders Fields was commissioned by theFlanders Symphony Orchestra and first performed atCadogan Hall, London in November 2015. As part ofthe anniversary commemorating World War I itincludes two narrated poems, The Dead by RupertBrooke and InFlanders Fields by John McRae. A sombrestring introduction leads to ghostly fanfares that recallbugle calls from the front line. A full fortissimostatement of the opening theme dies away as thenarrator speaks the first poem over soft strings. Thesecond musical interlude is more martial and dynamicwith rattling xylophone and snare drum. Then softdistant bells herald a gentle rustling texture over whichthe final poem is narrated. Soft brass chords over therustling texture die away into nothing. In FlandersFields was narrated by Simon Callow and conducted byJan Latham-Koenig.
