Sure of the Sky, Sure of the Sun - Des Himmels sicher, der Sonne sicher
As part of a concert entitled War and Peace, Howard Goodall’s Sure of the Sky, Sure of the Sun will be performed for the first time in Germany. Howard composed this piece specially for the August 4th 2014 commemoration of the beginning of the First World War at St Symphorien Military Cemetery near Mons, Belgium, broadcast live in BBC2. He arranged British and German soldiers’ songs into a suite with band accompaniment (The Band of the Coldstream Guards) and composed an entirely new work in English and German, Sure of the Sky, Sure of the Sun – Des Himmels sicher, der Sonne sicher.
