Harry,

Thanks for this one.

Anyone who is moved by Wilfred Owen's poetry, or the horrible cost of War in general, and who like orchestral music might want to find a copy of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem which interleaves the traditional Requiem Mass with Mr. Owen's poetry. It is, in my opinion, one of the Great musical works of the 20th century.
