Lewis Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 There is a Holocaust Memorial Assembly at school next week and we have been asked to think of some songs to walk in to. Something Modern and with the same sort of theme?? Any ideas anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 off the top of my head....Barbers Adagio for strings, is very atmospheric or something from Karl Jenkins Mass for the Armed Man.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Barbers Adagio for Strings would be perfect. It is played in USA at times of tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I must be feeling very emotional this evening. Barbers AFS is a favourite piece that I can hardly bear to hear as it reminds me of a much missed family member and we played it at his funeral. Why did I click the link ? It's a very poignant song, I don't know if it affects others in the same way but for me it's emotive and thought provoking music. I just stop and listen to it in it's entirety. I think it would be a good choice for your needs Iwescott. A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 John Williams music for Schindlers List - - the video is of terrible quality but you can hear the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I was going to suggest the same as Kate has - the only time I've ever seen the cinema empty silently with grown men weeping as well as women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 oooh both pieces lovely and haunting. My suggestion was going to be maybe try and get something by a Jewish composer but theres so many it would be hard to choos one with the right style too.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 What about music from "The Pianist" - very moving film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B00007E8SQ/ref=pd_krex_listen_dp_img/103-0599674-0451841?ie=UTF8&refTagSuffix=dp_img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Max Bruch 'Kol Nidrei'? It's a famous arrangement of a Hebrew song, he was not Jewish - he was German, but died in 1920 well before the Third Reich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 How about Bob Dylan Blowin' in the Wind if you decided to not go for classical He was Jewish and the lyrics are pretty apt how many deaths will it take till he knowsThat too many people have died?
