Everyone Sang was composed by Scottish composer Helen Grime in 2010. It was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 for the 75th anniversary of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. It was first performed at CityHall Candleriggs Glasgow in December 2010 and is arranged for Orchestra. When composing this piece Grime states that she imagined the Orchestra as many individual voices that were capableof producing a unified melody but also breaking off into separate strands of song. Since it was composed as a commemoration for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Grime wished to emphasise the Orchestra as a grand unified whole as well as their individual sections and sounds. The piece unifies the orchestra with a sense of celebration and elation as well as a sense of melancholy making it apt that the pieceis named after a poem by Siegfried Sassoon.
