Premiered in 1962, the War Requiem is one of the twentieth century's defining works. Britten was commissioned to write it for the re-dedication of Coventry Cathedral, which was destroyed during the Second World War. Interspersing the Latin Mass of the Dead with texts by war poet Wilfred Owen he created a work that both mourned the dead and pleaded the futility of war.
