Flanders Field -WHS Chamber Choir

This is my choir class, :) Aren't they lovely? From Wikipedia: "Flanders Fields" is one of the most notable poems written during World War I, created in the form of a French rondeau. It has been called "the most popular poem" produced during that period.[1] Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae is popularly believed to have written it on 3 May 1915 (see 1915 in poetry), after he witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, 22 years old, the day before. The poem was first published on 8 December of that year in the London-based magazine Punch. This is a song, based off this exact poem. :) It's absolutely beautiful, and I'm so happy I was able to preform it with these wonderful people. Enjoy!
