Requiem for an Unscorched Earth

The choir Londinium performs 'Perpetual Light: Requiem for an Unscorched Earth', an emotionally charged new work by British composer Jessica Curry. Fusing live choir, film and installation, the piece creates a moving experience that remembers those who lost their lives in the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The text combines the Requiem Mass with extracts from thespeeches of Robert Oppenheimer. (Film and installation by Jo Fairfax.)
