SKU: A0.752417

"We'll Meet Again" was written in 1939 by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles, and made famous by singer Dame Vera Lynn. The song is one of the most famous of the Second World War era. It later gave its name to the 1943 musical film We'll Meet Again, where Vera Lynn played the lead role.

During the Cold War, Lynn's recording of the song was included in the package of music and programmes held in 20 underground radio stations of the BBC's Wartime Broadcasting Service (WTBS), designed to provide public information and morale-boosting broadcasts for 100 days after a nuclear attack.

In 2005, Vera Lynn sang the song in London on the 60th Anniversary of VE Day in 2005, and, in 2020, a duet with Katherine Jenkins reached number 72 on the UK Singles Chart.

Arranged during the 2019/2020 Coronavirus Pandemic in memory of Dame Vera Lynn, who died on 18 June 2020. This arrangement for bassoon quartet includes alternative parts such that it works for either 4 bassoons or 3 bassoons and a contrabassoon, as well as an alternative part to substitute bassoon 1 with a cor anglais.
