Difficulty level. for chorus. This highly dramatic and rarely performed work was written for a Festival of Music for the People and first performed on 5 April 1939 at the Queen's Hall, London, conducted by Constant Lambert. It is another of Britten's passionate outbursts against the waste and horror of war which had already engulfed Europe once earlier in the century and was about to do so for the second time. The declaration of war was made on 3 September that year. His choice of texts is highly significant. He had collaborated with Randall Swingler as recently as the previous year on his short unaccompanied choral work Advance Democracy - another politically motivated piece. see separate entry. Both Swingler and Auden were aiming in their poems to goad the downtrodden Englishman into standing up and fully living the life of freedom for which their forebears fought and lost their lives. Swingler's lines which say. 'You who lean at the corner and say “We have done our best”,. To you we speak, you numberless Englishmen, To remind you of the greatness still among you. Your life is yours, for which they died'. sum up the essence of the message of the piece. The work is in three continuous movements. First comes a Funeral March. to Swingler's poem part-quoted above. , then a manic Scherzo, a Dance of Death to a rum-te-tum verse by Auden which only increases its sense of the macabre. Finally comes a slow and powerful recitative and chorale and a slow Epilogue in which the funeral march music from the opening returns. Virtually the whole of the first section of the opening movement is in unison for the chorus. The slow tread of the funeral march is given an added solemnity by this unison singing. The first ten bars are recited on a low C, the next eight bars an octave higher, and after this there is a mixture of simple harmony. more to avoid high notes for low voices. and further unison singing for the rest of the movement. The Scherzo is interesting in setting out the first three vocal parts in a kind of fugal progress. The tenors have the first complete statement in the home key. G minor. , the altos are next in the dominant but by themselves, the sopranos are next in line and back in the tonic - again by themselves, and finally the basses have the subject but this time as the basis of a canon at the unison between them and the altos. in a truncated version. Funeral March. Scherzo. Dance of Death. Recitative and Choral. Epilogue.

To zelo dramatična in redko izvajano delo je bila napisana za festival glasbe za ljudi in prvič izvedena na 5 april 1939 ob kraljičinega Hall v Londonu, Constant Lambert izvedla. To je še ena od strastnih izbruhov Britten je proti odpadki in grozo vojne, ki je že zajel Evropo, enkrat v začetku stoletja in je bil na tem, da to storijo že drugič. Vojna napoved je bila narejena 3. septembra istega leta. Njegova izbira besedil je zelo pomembna. On je sodeloval z Randall Swingler kot je pred kratkim kot v preteklem letu na svojem kratkem brez spremstva zborovsko delo Advance demokracijo - drugo politično motivirana kos. glej ločen vnos. Oba Swingler in Auden bili cilj v svojih pesmih za pognalo na zatirane Angleža v stoje in polno živeti življenje svobode, za katere so njihovi predniki borili in izgubili življenje. Linije Swingler v katerem pravijo,. "Ti, ki naslonite na vogalu in reči" Storili smo vse najboljše ",. Da vam govorimo, vi nešteti Angleži, vas opomni na veličino še vedno med vami. Tvoje življenje je tvoje, za katere so umrli ". povzamemo bistvo sporočila kosa. Delo je v treh zveznih gibanj. Prvo pride Funeral March. da Swingler je pesem delno citirano zgoraj. , Potem pa manično Scherzo, Dance of Death za rum-TE-TUM verz, ki ga Audena ki povečuje le svoj občutek temačnosti. Končno prihaja počasi in močan recitativ in koralno in počasi Epilog, v katerem pogreb pohod glasba iz uvodnih obračunov. Praktično celotna prvem delu gibanja odpiranja je v sozvočju za refren. Počasno tekalne plasti pogrebni pohod je dal dodano slovesnost s tem dvojnim petjem. Prvih deset palice recitiral na nizkem C, v naslednjih osmih palice oktavo višje, in po tem da je zmes navadno harmonije. več, da bi se izognili visoke tone za nizke glasove. in nadalje Unison petje, za preostali del gibanja. Scherzo je zanimivo pri postavljanju prve tri vokalne dele v nekakšnem fugal napredku. Tenorji imamo prvo popolno izjavo v domači ključem. G minor. Je altos so zraven pri prevladujoča, vendar sami po sebi, The Sopranos ste naslednji v vrsti in nazaj v tonikom - spet sami, na koncu pa basi imajo temo, vendar tokrat kot podlaga za kanonika at the unison med njimi in altos. v prisekanega različici.
