Our offering on this day of remembrance is not, strictly speaking, a Boston Camerata production, nor is it even an early music experience — but it should be heard. In the late 1990s, Music Director Emeritus Joel Cohen recorded Kurt Weill’s powerful 1936 score for an American antiwar play, Johnny Johnson, for Erato Records. From that extraordinary recording, we excerpt the “Song of the Guns” for male chorus. Its elegiac text is most appropriate for this holiday. And we send wishes for peace, everywhere on our troubled planet.

‘Soldiers, soldiers, Sleep softly now beneath the sky!’: you will hear Camerata soloists John Fleagle, Donald Wilkinson and Richard Lalli, with the Otaré Pit Band directed by Joel Cohen.
