Oliver TarneyNational Youth Boys' Choir of Great BritainLucy Joy Morris (conductor) Adam Hope (piano)Released 27 October 2023NYCR-0110(A) I am. We are. was the result of a collaboration between National Youth Boys' Choir, lyricist Hazel Gould and composer Oliver Tarney. At its core, the piece is about finding your identity and becoming confident in oneself, particularly in your formative early-teenage years. The piece starts in darkness, fairly tentatively, with a few solo voices, and more voices gradually join, finding solidarity in their community. And by the last movement, the singers vocalise, through swirling melodies, how it feels to navigate the stormy waters of growing up and finding your place in the world, before joining together side by side for a rousing chorus: "We are here".
