Britten: War Requiem

Benjamin Britten wrote his War Requiem Op 66 in 1961, completing it in January 1962. It was first performed on 30 May 1962 in the UK's new Coventry Cathedral, which replaced the lost fourteenth century building destroyed during a World War II bombing raid. The work interleaves the Latin text of the Requiem mass with poems by Wifred Owen (1893-1918) written during World War I.
