"''A capella'' setting of Wilfred Owen's poem ''Futility'' ('Move him into the sun') for bass soloist, trio of female soloists - the three Norns - and SATB choir. Ideally the Norns should sing offstage at the beginning, and move to join the main choir from page 8, when their words quote lines from Thomas Gray's poem ''The Bard''."

Futility (Wilfred Owen) Move him into the sun— Gently its touch awoke him once, At home, whispering of fields half-sown. Always it woke him, even in France, Until this morning and this snow. If anything might rouse him now The kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds— Woke once the clays of a cold star. Are limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides Full-nerved, still warm, too hard to stir? Was it for this the clay grew tall? —O what made fatuous sunbeams toil To break earth's sleep at all? Lines from The Bard (Thomas Gray) The thread is spun; The web is wove; Our work is done
