A setting of the poem by Wilfred Owen (1893-1918).
The redrafting of this poem with the help and encouragement of Siegfried Sassoon,
whom Owen met while convalescing in Edinburgh’s Craiglockhart Hospital in August 1917, marked a turning point in Owen’s life as a poet.
A remarkable writing period was just beginning.

In sonnet form, ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH is an elegy, a lament for the dead,
a judgement on Owen’s experience of war rather than an account of the experience itself.
Doomed youth is right. These were young men, some very young.

Running time - 7 mins.
