Composed by Timothy Lee Miller, John McCrae. This edition: pdf. A Cappella, Contemporary. 13 pages. TLM Music Publishing #2942503. Published by TLM Music Publishing (A0.979357)."In Flanders Fields" is a war poem (public domain) in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. Musically it is in keeping with the solemn nature of the poem.
