Classical-music.com's
free download for the week has been posted on their website.
This week, in honour of Remembrance day, our free download is They are at rest
by Edward Elgar, performed by Clare College Choir and conducted by Graham Ross. It comes from the choir's latest recording Remembrance
- a wide-ranging and moving sequence of music for Remembrance, including Maurice Durufle's 1948 setting of the Requiem Mass.
I am not familiar with a holiday or other special day called "Remembrance Day," but it is apparently connected somehow with Roman Catholicism.
The
free piece is 3 minutes, 47 seconds in length, and is formatted in MP3.
