A fantastic piece of music especially when listened in context with the film.
The last few scenes with them all writing their last letters to their loved ones is moving and affecting on so many levels. Vaughn Williams got it spot on.

Fantastic. Real evocation of the great white continent.
And that's just the 1st movement. The whole thing has 5 movements, all brilliant.
How do you communicate a total absence of hope, loneliness, desperation, the certainty that you will never see your home and your loved ones again, strangeness, unbridgeable distance from everything normal and familiar, the enormity of the forces you are struggling against?
Vaughan Williams did it, brilliantly.
How underrated he is - what a GIANT .
