Product Description

"The Longest Day", from the film of the same name, commemorates the events of D-Day, 6th June 1944. The courage of those fighting men is legendary. I arranged this for my French choir. Based in Normandy, this has special poignance for local people, who owe their freedom to those warriors, and for whom these are their fields, their beaches. Annual commemoration events here in Normandy are extraordinarily moving, and happen in every town down to the smallest village, often attended by families of the men who fought on that day. (We sang it in French, of course - "Le Jour le Plus Long" - let me know if anyone wants this arrangement with the French words.) If you don't have enough singers to split the parts, sing the upper note.
