Jennings makes an interesting experiment. He films a number of scenes representative of wartime Britain, but does not include a spoken commentary or an anonymous musical backing.
Instead, the sound alone (often amplified and remixed)conveys mood, emphasis, and narrative climax.
A recital given by Dame Myra Hess in the National Gallery provides the background of a stirring climax.
