Billed as a work “to be read, performed, and danced,” *The Soldier’s Tale* is a stage production performed by three narrators (the Storyteller, the Soldier, and the Devil) and seven instrumentalists. It was created in 1918, amidst the exhausted social climate immediately following World War I. Waters’ grandfather was killed in action during World War I, and his father went missing in action during World War II; these personal experiences served as the impetus for him to record this work. The original text was written in French, but Waters adapted it himself based on the English version. This “New Version” is a solo performance by Roger, who narrates the entire piece—originally intended for three performers—by varying his voice and accents. The recording was made in 2014. The same cast also performed it live the following year, in 2015, at the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival (New York).\nSony Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: The Soldier's March\u003cbr\u003e2.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Slogging homeword...\u003cbr\u003e3.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Airs by a Stream\u003cbr\u003e4.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: As you can hear...\u003cbr\u003e5.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: The Soldier's March (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003e6.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Eventually, Joseph reaches his home village...\u003cbr\u003e7.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Pastorale\u003cbr\u003e8.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: The Soldier, disconsolate...\u003cbr\u003e9.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Pastorale (reprise)\u003cbr\u003e10.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: The Soldier, slowly coming back to himself...\u003cbr\u003e11.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Airs by a Stream (reprise): To stretch out on the grass...\u003cbr\u003e12.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Hey Satan, you bastard...\u003cbr\u003e13.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Airs by a Stream (2nd reprise)\u003cbr\u003e14.The Soldier's Tale: Part I: Naught to be gained here...\u003cbr\u003e15.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: The Soldier's March (2nd Reprise): Down a hot and dusty track...\u003cbr\u003e16.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: He doesn't even know himself...\u003cbr\u003e17.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: The Soldier's March (3rd reprise) Will he take the road to home...\u003cbr\u003e18.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: He doesn't have a home anymore...\u003cbr\u003e19.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: The Royal March\u003cbr\u003e20.The Soldier's Tale: Part II: So all was arranged...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525311422753,"sku":"190758727325","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/190758727325.jpg?v=1789730769","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/190758727325","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
