In Flanders Fields - Piano Tutorial

It’s Anzac Day today, so we’ve posted this arrangement as a reminder. Lest we forget. Thanks for listening, and the sheet music is in the description if you’d like to play it yourself. I sang this at school on Anzac and Remembrance Day many times and hope that others have these memories too.

"Only the dead have seen the end of war." May all of the fallen warriors and soldiers rest in peace. Thank you Sheet Music Boss for this wonderful piece.

In flanders fields the poppies grow between the crosses row by row That mark our place and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below

I never thought I'd see SMB make a cover of this. In flanders fields is so important to me, not just as a musical piece but as an invaluable piece of history. Thank you SMB

Day 742 telling Sheet Music Boss we love them

I didn't know there was a tune to it. I've only heard the poem recited via spoken word. It's beautiful. 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦

In Flander's fields the popies grow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the dead, short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flander's fields, in Flander's fields Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flander's fields.

I know at least one person behind SMB is Aussie, this wasn’t an accident It’s weird how it felt wrong to talk at all during this video, even though my closest ties to the war were my grandparents, all 4 of which are gone, old habits die hard I guess

I have listened to the sabaton cover of this song and it's amazing! And I would say that yours is amazing too! Incredible job SMB, we will remember them!

I remember reading this out in church service once. Really heartwarming

Although I never knew him, my maternal grandfather served in WWII. I don't know many details about his service, but he was one of the boys who came home from D-Day. I'm sure he saw many of his brothers-in-arms fall that day, and bore mental scars of it all through the rest of his life. Thank you for the beautiful cover, SMB!

Very emotional song. Glory to all the fallen soldiers.

This means so much to me. I've had several family members serve in both world wars who never came home. Everyday at 11 o'clock on the 11th Day of the 11th of November, i sit there, remembering my fallen family members and all the others who fell for their nations protection for 2 minutes. One of my Great Great Great Uncles is the one i know most about and he died in the flowing fields of Flanders. May lest we forget about these forgotten heroes who fell so then we could be here and be happy. 11/11/18-11/11/23 Lest we forget.

This music really makes you reflect on whats happened, it’s so beautiful. Lest we forget…..

I didn’t know this is a song, only knew about the poem May all fallen soldiers rest in peace, and thank you for their bravery during the wars

I'm Australian. Even as a small child I understood (albeit partially) the sadness and loss of the families who had sons and fathers never return to them. I felt like crying from the first few notes of the song, and it really reminded me of the reality of war all over the world. It's an incredibly sad thing to think about, but I think it's important for everyone to know. It could very well happen again in the next 60 years, which would be within the lifespan of many of the people listening to this. Thank you for doing this SMB.

My grandfather served in North Africa during WW2 alongside some ANZAC troops, he always said that if he had a choice of who to fight alongside with he’d always choose the ANZAC due to how fierce they fought. A touching tribute to many countless lost in both world wars and more recent conflicts. Lest we forget.

As someone who is from the Flanders part of Belgium (even though I'm rather young) I appreciate this very much! 🇧🇪 Maybe you could do "the lion of Flanders (de vlaamse leeuw)" next?

It's kind of cool how not even a month ago, my choir sang this song for our Spring Concert. What great timing!

As an American, I have a lot of respect for those Australian and New Zealanders, who fought and died in the battles of the Somme, Passchendaele, and most importantly Gallipoli. Lest we forget their sacrifices, not for their countries, but for the greater good.
