Song for alto voice and classical guitar composed and perfomed by David W Solomons,
after a poem by Carol Rumens.
The guitar part quotes the "Gloria in excelsis" from time to time.
The memorial stone itself is apparently in the cloisters of Canterbury Cathedral, but most of the images here simply represent the poem rather than the place itself.
The Score is available from

The images are from various sources including Flickr (jmc4 and stevenM_61) and Wikipedia
Poignant and effective poetically, musically, and graphically. Excellent work!
