JOSIE'S POEMS
FLOWER OF THE ETERNAL SLEEP
By Josie Whitehead
This PDF contains the music for 'Flower of the Eternal Sleep', which was written to go with my poem, by Robert May:
​
'Hello,
My name is Bob May; I recently retired from full time music teaching in secondary education and continue to direct the choir and play the organ at our local parish church (www.dymockchurch.net).
​
I organise various concerts during the year. On Friday 11th November, I will be presenting a concert of readings and music entitled 'We Will Remember' in aid of The Royal British Legion'.
​
Whilst researching suitable readings I discovered your moving poem "Flower of the Eternal Sleep". I found the message, metre and length greatly appealing and I am writing to ask if you would be kind enough to grant me permission to perform a musical setting for four part choir and accompaniment that I have composed for this special event on Remembrance Day here in the Parish Church of St. Mary, Dymock, Gloucestershire. Naturally, I would be very happy to send you a jpeg of the score for you to see. I look forward to hearing from.
Regards,
​
Bob May
Ask their permission before using the music as there is copyright on it as there is also on my poem. Josie
