The English composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) was commissioned to write a piece for the reconsecration of Coventy Cathedral, which had been destroyed during World War II. His War Requiem was first performed on that occasion in 1962. There will be an opportunity while we are in Sun Lakes to hear this oratorio. It is one of the great contemporary musical statements against war. These links lead to the full text of the work, as well as AIFF clips and a good deal of information about Britain.
