WE REMEMBER THEM Sunday,
September 11, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. in Heinz Memorial Chapel
As part of Britsburgh 2016, the Pittsburgh Compline Choir and Friends will present a special service of remembrance honoring soldiers living and dead who fought to preserve our freedom.
The service celebrates the enduring bond established between the United States, the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations who fought and bled together. The service will provide an opportunity for the wider community to honor the service of surviving veterans and to connect younger generations with their stories.
Partnering with local schools and churches, the Pittsburgh Compline Choir will work to pair local youth with each and every veteran or surviving spouse attending the service, so that young people can hear about these heroes firsthand and establish a personal connection.
The interdenominational service will combine Scripture and poetry with great British and American music for choir, organ, brass and bagpipe. Musical selections include John Ireland’s beloved “Greater Love Hath No Man,” “For the Fallen” by Douglas Guest, Walton’s “Crown Imperial March” and Elgar’s elegiac “Nimrod.” In a moving memorial tribute, the choir will chant the names of deceased soldiers as submitted by the congregation and the wider community.
The Bel Canto Singers, part of the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus, will perform “To Peace” in the service under the direction of Shawn Funk. A brass quartet and bagpiper will also bring drama and pathos to the service.
The esteemed Pittsburgh Compline Choir will be joined by distinguished singers from throughout the city who are invited to join them in a spirited festival chorus. The choir will be under the direction of Alastair Stout, director of the Pittsburgh Compline Choir. Holding a Ph.D. in composition from the University of London, Stout hails from the Shetland Islands and has made his home in Pittsburgh since 2002. As a youth Stout became part of the glorious English choral tradition while a chorister at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire under the direction of the Arthur Wills. Joining Stout and the choir at the organ console will be Anthony Rollett, Ph.D. Rollett studied at Cambridge University, where he was a choral scholar at Clare College, singing with John Rutter and others. He holds a diploma in organ teaching from the Royal College of Music (London.)
