Emotions
from intense anger to
morbid despair are
conveyed through this
powerful vocal work
depicting the viewpoints
of poets from the Great
War. Mark-Anthony
Turnage's 'The Torn
Fields' sets the words of
Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred
Owen, Isaac Rosenberg and
Charles Sorley; the
latter two of whom were
killed in the trenches.
Despite the dark nature
of the work, it concludes
with a symbol of humanity
and hope, the music from
the prologue returns with
the poem Everyone Sang to
creating a unified
transcendence away from
the fears and desolation
of the torn fields.
