Synopsis
Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, Op. 66 is one of the most profound choral-orchestral works of the twentieth century, combining the traditional Latin Missa pro defunctis with the powerful anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen. This full score presents the complete composition for chorus and orchestra, offering conductors, music students, and scholars an authoritative reference for studying, preparing, and exploring Britten’s landmark work.
The score clearly presents the vocal and orchestral writing throughout the work, allowing readers to follow the interaction between chorus, soloists, and orchestra. Additional related editions are available separately, including vocal, SATB choral, and boy’s chorus materials, while orchestral performance materials are available on rental.
This edition is especially valuable for conductors preparing performances, music students analyzing twentieth-century composition, and choral musicians exploring Britten’s dramatic fusion of sacred liturgy and modern poetry. The detailed layout supports score study, rehearsal planning, and academic analysis, making it equally useful in university libraries, conservatories, and personal music collections.
The War Requiem stands as a moving reflection on the human cost of war, and Britten’s musical language balances monumental choral passages with deeply intimate moments drawn from Owen’s poetry. For performers and scholars alike, this score offers a clear window into one of the most significant choral works in modern classical repertoire.

Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Notenblatt. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It is regarded by many as his masterpiece in the non-operatic sphere: Britten's War Requiem, premiered in 1962 to celebrate the opening of the new cathedral at Coventry, built to replace the one destroyed during the war. Britten used the opportunity to write a milestone of post-war music history: In memory of the war dead he combined texts of a Latin mass with 20th-century poems and set his deeply held pacifist and humanitarian beliefs to music. The requiem's direct style has overwhelmed audiences for more than fifty years.Instrumentation:soloists (STBar), mixed choir (SATB), boys' choir, orchestra and chamber orchestraop. 66; Es gilt neben den Opern als sein Meisterwerk: Brittens War Requiem, 1962 uraufgeführt zur Einweihung der neuen Kathedrale in Coventry, die den im Krieg zerstörten Vorgängerbau ersetzte. Britten nutzte den Auftrag zu einem Meilenstein der Nachkriegs-Musikgeschichte: Im Andenken an die Kriegstoten kombiniert er lateinische Messtexte mit Gedichten des 20. Jahrhunderts und setzt seine tief verwurzelte pazifistische und humanitäre Überzeugung in Töne. Der unmittelbare Ausdruck überwältigt seit über 50 Jahren immer wieder das Publikum.
