描述
The whole world is commemorating the First World War. Explore the soundscape of the war at IWM North, part of Imperial War Museums, as the RNCM creates a living installation to portray, and evoke, every emotion elicited by warfare, in an audio-visual spectacle, as part of IWM North’s Reactions 14 season of creative responses to the First World War.
Singing Silent Night and calling ‘We not shoot, you not shoot’, the Christmas Truce began when German and British soldiers met in No Man’s Land and exchanged gifts and famously played football.
From Eric Whitacre’s Cloudburst, where polyphonic voices and percussion resound against the high walls of the Main Exhibition Space, to echoes of the Christmas Truce; from John Williams’ Hymn to the Fallen, to Butterworth’s poignant A Shropshire Lad mirroring the futility of the 1914-1918 conflict; from Steve Reich’s landmark Different Trains, to new works inspired by Klezmer music, as well as the sound of hope with jazz, post-war ragtime and big band in the café, this will be a moving experience, fitting of such a momentous point in history.
Strange News by Rolf Wallin and Josse de Pauw acts as our powerful story of children used as soldiers in wars around the world. Different spaces echo the sounds of composers reacting to the war in the voices of Shostakovich, Takemitsu, Britten, Gurney and Ravel amongst many others, featuring Martin Ellerby’s new work for eight cellos, written especially for the RNCM, as well as other premières.
With brass fanfares and mighty percussion, plaintive woodwind, evocative song, expressive strings, gritty and heart-rending at the same time, After the Silence is a total commemoration of sound and visuals, music, projections, interviews and film in an overwhelming experience you will not forget.
