War Requiem
|
|
(1962) Choral work by Benjamin *Britten, setting World War I poems by Wilfred *Owen in the context of a Requiem mass. A powerful work in itself, it was also profoundly apt for its occasion; its first performance was in the new *Coventry Cathedral, which had risen phoenix-like among World War II ruins.
