"War Requiem" is a monumental choral work composed by Benjamin Britten in 1962. It combines the traditional Latin mass for the dead with the poetry of World War I soldier Wilfred Owen. The piece is divided into three sections and features three soloists, two choirs, and a large orchestra. Britten juxtaposes the timeless themes of death and mourning with the horrors of war, creating a powerful and poignant commentary on the futility and tragedy of conflict. The composition stands as a profound anti-war statement and remains one of Britten's most critically acclaimed and enduring works.
