The Choir of Westminster Abbey presents a program of memorial music composed in England and France in the shadow of two World Wars. Throughout the past century the Abbey has been a focus of national remembrance on Armistice Day. Featured works here include Durufle's Requiem and O God, our help in ages past, the great ceremonial hymn of the English nation. The work has been a constant and reassuring presence, from the Burial Service of the Unknown Warrior in 1920 to the Service commemorating the Passing of the World War One Generation in 2009.
