Lacrymosa from Britten's "A War Requiem"

:

It combines the theme of weeping and lamentation over our loss of so many loved ones, and, in the interpolated poem of Wilfred Owen, the them of the pointlessness and futility of the attach. Other movements of "A War Requiem" (e.g., the "Requiem aeternam", "In paradiso" et al.) would also enhance the solemnity of this sad anniversary
