About this item
Inspired by the composer's visit to a war memorial on a day when children were playing in a nearby field, this remarkable new work begins with a simple and reflective hymn that gives way to a youthful and exuberant celebration. The contrasts of war and children playing in a peaceful world speak loudly as a tribute to those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in times of strife.

Composer
Stephen Sondheim (1930-)
Stephen Joshua Sondheim (born March 22, 1930) is an American composer and lyricist for stage and film. He is the winner of an Academy Award, multiple Tony Awards (eight, more than any other composer) including the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, multiple Grammy Awards, and a Pulitzer Prize. Described by Frank Rich of the New York Times as "the greatest, and perhaps best-known artist working in musical theatre", his most famous scores include (as composer/lyricist) A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Assassins. He also wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy.
