REMEMBER ME

Composer’s note
I wrote this piece in response to the tragedy on the island of Utøya in Norway where 68
young people lost their lives in July 2011.
I have included a small amount of sign language for the singers to make together. I love
the expressiveness of signing and have used it here to reflect those who sing in the ‘silent
land’ spoken of in Christina Rossetti’s eloquent and moving poem.
