Missa pro defunctis and Wilfred Owen. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. In many ways this magnum opus, one of the 20th century's defining works, was also Britten's defining moment. For a long time Britten had felt that the gap in his output was a major choral. orchestral work. When Coventry mounted an Arts Festival to celebrate the dedication of its new cathedral in 1962 Britten was an obvious choice to ask for a major work. This, for Britten, was the opportunity for which he had been waiting. As a lifelong, passionate pacifist it was his opportunity to write a work which reminded its audience of the reason for the building of this new cathedral, but also, and far more importantly, to demonstrate in the most powerful way possible the horror, devastation, futility and utter waste of war. His inspired idea was to mix the words of the Missa pro defunctis. Mass for the Dead. in Latin with the poems of one of the greatest of the First of the spirit War poets, Wilfred Owen. He uses nine of Owen's poems which form a kind of song cycle which weaves in and out of the formal sections of the Latin Mass. When Britten's recording was released the following year it sold 200,000 copies within the first five months which was almost unheard of for a classical work, and possibly unique for a large-scale contemporary one. This was the moment of destiny for which Britten had been preparing all his adult life. The peace movements of the 1960s, the Cuban missile crisis, nuclear testing, anti-nuclear protests, the war-weariness of the seemingly endless conflict in Vietnam, all these things contributed to the public's readiness to hear this message which Britten so powerfully addressed. Duration. 85 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Missa Pro defunctis en Wilfred Owen. Uitgewer. Boosey. Moeilikheidsgraad. In baie maniere om hierdie magnum opus, een van die 20ste eeu se definisie werke, was ook Britten se keerpunt. Vir 'n lang tyd Britten het gevoel dat die gaping in sy produksie was 'n groot koor. orkeswerk. Wanneer Coventry gemonteer 'n kunstefees die inwyding van die nuwe katedraal in 1962 te vier Britten was 'n ooglopende keuse om te vra vir 'n groot werk. Dit, vir Britten, was die geleentheid vir wat hy was wag. As 'n lewenslange, passievolle pasifis dit was sy kans om 'n werk wat herinner sy gehoor van die rede vir die bou van die nuwe katedraal te skryf nie, maar ook, en veel meer belangrik, om in die mees kragtige manier moontlik die horror, verwoesting demonstreer, nutteloosheid en uiterste vermorsing van oorlog. Sy geïnspireerde idee was om die woorde van die Missa Pro defunctis te meng. Mis voor die dood. in Latyns met die gedigte van een van die grootste van die eerste van die gees Oorlog digters, Wilfred Owen. Hy gebruik nege van Owen se gedigte wat 'n soort lied siklus wat weef in en uit van die formele sektore van die Latyns-Mass. Wanneer Britten se opname is vrygestel van die volgende jaar is dit 200,000 eksemplare verkoop binne die eerste vyf maande wat amper ongehoord vir 'n klassieke werk, en moontlik uniek vir 'n groot skaal moderne een. Dit was die oomblik van die noodlot, waarvoor Britten was die voorbereiding al sy volwasse lewe. Die vrede bewegings van die 1960's het die Kubaanse missiel krisis, kern toets, anti-kern protes, die oorlog-vermoeiing van die skynbaar eindelose konflik in Viëtnam, al hierdie dinge het bygedra tot die publiek se gereedheid hierdie boodskap wat Britten so kragtig aangespreek te hoor. Duur. 85 minute. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
