Anthem for Doomed Youth

This piece originally appeared as part of the third movement of The Great War Symphony written to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.  The well-known words by Wilfred Owen are sung against an instrumental elegy.  For this reason, the accompaniment should make perfect sense in itself with the frequently syncopated, broken choral parts suggesting a sense of grief - even of weeping. Scored for SATB choir and orchestra or piano.  Duration: circa 4 minutes
