The day
that Australian and New
Zealand forces joined the
Allies for an invasion of
the Gallipoli Peninsula
of Turkey in World War I,
with disastrous
consequences, is
celebrated in Australia
as Anzac Day (Australian
and New Zealand Army
Corps). To honor this
special day, Bresnick
takes inspiration from
two selected poems by
Bertolt Brecht (And I
Always Thought and Legend
of the Unknown Soldier
Beneath the Triumphal
Arch). Commissioned to
commemorate
Australia’s Anzac
Day, similar to Memorial
Day, and inspired by two
Brecht poems…The
somber opening violin and
clarinet lines unfolded
to haunting effect before
eventually reaching a
fervent climax. --Vivien
Schweitzer, The New York
Times.
