Ursprunglig

The poem Anthem for Doomed Youth paints in vivid imagery the funeral of. soldiers in the great war. Those who fall like cattle do not have the usual trappings of a funeral. passing. bells, prayers, bells, mourning voices, bugles or candles. Instead, they have. only the guns' monstrous anger, and the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle. The. voice of mourning is that of the shrill demented choirs of wailing shells. I have set this text as a funeral march which follows Wilfred Owen's text and. paints the guns' rapid rattle, the bugles, and the wailing demented choirs. The. march closes with a quiet a capella section, bringing peace to the fallen. Like Owen's poem, I hope this piece of music manages to evoke the horrific. nature of war, and perhaps encourage us all. and especially our leaders,. elected or otherwise. to try harder to avoid war and seek peaceful solutions. instead. The piece was composed in 1995 and revised in February 2008. Duration. approx. 10.
