Britten's and Owen's pacifist beliefs are compared, and the chronology of the compositional process unraveled from documentary and manuscript sources. The musical language is analyzed in detail, and the fluctuating critical responses to the score are assessed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521446334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.39w x 0.38d","brand":"Mervyn Cooke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730175066293,"sku":"9780521446334","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a2c42fdf-286e-4030-8ac5-6f210c9ee38a.jpg?v=1758004422","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/britten-war-requiem-9780521446334","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
