In 2012, poet Suzanne Steele and composer Jeffrey Ryan collaborated on
Afghanistan: Requiem for a Generation
, a major oratorio commissioned by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and One Yellow Rabbit, setting Steele’s original writings as Canada’s war poet in Afghanistan. He’s Come Home Again is drawn from the Requiem’s Sanctus movement. As the music marches ceremoniously forward, Steele’s poem observes the repatriation of a soldier’s body, poignantly contrasting images of spring and new life with the realities of life in war and the soldier’s last moments. The final lines reflect the new reality of those left behind, their lives forever changed,the future they imagined now unattainable.
