Whilst depicting one of the darkest periods in history, there are also moments of hope, spirit, resilience, love, as well as moments of deep reflection throughout. This is particularly evident in the last two preludes, when \"the guns fall silent\", and we start to reflect on the war \"In Remembrance\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition also includes 4 of the preludes arranged for string quartet, composed in 2014 as Opus 26, and two songs, \"Firing Line\" \u0026amp; \"Remember\", composed in 2012.
