RE: Benjamin Britten's War Requiem performed in Johannesburg last night

in #music6 years ago

Thank you so much, @scrawly...I wish it were so, but I have no confidence that humans will ever stop making war on each other, because they can 😢. I do hope that music and the arts have the power to move at least a few people away from worshipping the gods of war to being purveyors of peace. Wilfred Owen's death a week before the Armistice was a shining example of this - his poetry has moved thousands to reflect on "Why war?"...but yet, his light was extinguished too early by war. Nunca mas.
