Britten:
War Requiem
by Mervyn Cooke
Book Description:
The book examines from various viewpoints Britten's War Requiem, written
in 1962 to celebrate the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral and
uniting the famous anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem
Mass. Britten's and Owen's pacifist beliefs are compared, and the chronology
of the compositional process unraveled from documentary and manuscript
sources. The musical language is analyzed in detail, and the fluctuating
critical responses to the score are assessed.
