Another important AWS contribution in the field of classical music: the War Requiem by Benjamin Britten, a symphonic mass partly based on Wilfred Owen's antiwar poems which Britten composed for the reconsecration of Coventry cathedral destroyed by air bombing raids during WW2. The text is being entered with a special arrangement due to its particular nature.

The play list and some audio fragments from the transmission at Controradio (in Italian).

ANTIWAR SONGS FROM CONTRORADIO
In the morning of Thursday December 22nd we will be hosted by the independent radio station Controradio in Florence to talk about our website and about some antiwar songs. If you don't live in Tuscany you can listen to the radio via streaming.

Today, 12 December, is the 36th anniversary of the Piazza Fontana massacre. The "State massacre" which initiated the so-called "tension strategy" in Italy. We invite all to read (and sing) the songs included in the specially dedicated song itinerary. We never forget.
