For baritone and large ensemble. Composed by Mark-Anthony Turnage. This edition: vocal/piano score. Piano reduction. Duration 26 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q5954. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q5954).English.
Emotions from intense anger to morbid despair are conveyed through this powerful vocal work depicting the viewpoints of poets from the Great War. Mark-Anthony Turnage's 'The Torn Fields' sets the words of Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg and Charles Sorley; the latter two of whom were killed in the trenches. Despite the dark nature of the work, it concludes with a symbol of humanity and hope, the music from the prologue returns with the poem Everyone Sang to creating a unified transcendence away from the fears and desolation of the torn fields.
