Britten’s great work combines the traditional Latin Mass of the Dead with poems by Wilfred Owen, the soldier-poet who die...d in the 1st World War aged 25. Britten uses adult and children’s voices to poignant effect. The Requiem was a huge success at its premiere, at the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral.
Crouch End Festival Chorus returns to the Barbican following summer performances at the BBC Proms and at Kenwood House.

Crouch End Festival Chorus
This wonderful choral symphony by the young Vaughan Williams brought him acclaim as a composer - and you can hear why. Settings of poems by Whitman evoke the changing aspects of the sea, its beauty and deadly power.
In contrast, Fauré’s moving Requiem has a serenity and relative simplicity that has made it one of the mo...st popular choral works. This programme is ideally suited to the responsiveness, warmth and accuracy that Crouch End Festival Chorus brings to such music.
