Patrick Hawes has completed his biggest and most important work to date, The Great War Symphony (in aid of SSAFA), a choral symphony to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War.

The Great War Symphony is in four movements and each one reflects each year of the war – Praeludium (1914-1915), March (1915-1916), Elegy (1916-1917) and Finale (1917-1918). The music is set to the affecting words of war including Wilfred Owen’s 1914, Seigfried Sassoon’s Hell Let Loose, Margaret Postgate Cole’s The Falling Leaves, as well as lesser known words from Sydney Bolitho’s Gallipoli and Moina Michael’s Flanders Field.

This beautiful body of work features soloists Louise Alder (soprano) and Joshua Ellicott (tenor), alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain.

The complete work was premiered in London’s Royal Albert Hall on 9th October 2018 at Classic FM Live, bringing together the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Youth Choirs of Great Britain, London Youth Choir, Berkshire Youth Choir, Invictus Games Choir, Louise Alder (soprano), Joshua Ellicott (tenor) and Military Bands. Choirs from around the country were virtually beamed in to the Hall, including the National Youth Choir of Scotland, and the Cross Border Youth Choir (Ireland & N.I.).
