"This song joins a group of 7 solo songs all based on poems written by Wilfred Owen. The reflective mood and relatively straightforward piano and vocal parts make this song more accessible to a wider performance group than some of the others that require a practised facility from either pianist or singer or both."

ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH - Wilfred Owen What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? - Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires. What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hand of boys but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
