SSA chorus and trumpet

SKU: BM.BRM-11

Composed by Jeffrey Bishop. Duration 10:00. Published by Brichtmark Music, Inc. (BM.BRM-11).

Text: from John XX, Rudyard Kipling, and Jack Judge.

When his son was killed in the trenches in WWI, Kipling became preoccupied with the nature of individual fear, of pain, and of the limites of human endurance. His poem "Gethsemane" and his short story "The Gardener," which are both quoted here, are results of that preoccupation. On these the composer has overlaid John XX (Mary's vision of "the gardener"), and Jack Judge's WWI song "Tipperary," made famous by the recordings of John McCormack. Trumpet part available separately (trumpet in Bb - see item BRM-11-a; trumpet in C - see item BRM-11-b).
