Sinfonia da Requiem, Op. 20, for orchestra is a symphony written by Benjamin Britten in 1940 at the age of 26. It was one of several works commissioned from different composers by the Japanese government to mark Emperor Jimmu's 2600th anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Empire (taken to be 11 February 660 BCE from birth of Emperor Jimmu). The Japanese government rejected the Sinfonia for its use of Latin titles from the Catholic Requiem for its three movements and for its somber overall character, but it was received positively at its world premiere in New York on 29 March 1941 under John Barbirolli. A performance in Boston under Serge Koussevitzky led to the commission of the opera Peter Grimes from the Koussevitzky Music Foundations.

  • Sinfonia da Requiem, op. 20, per a orquestra és una simfonia composta per Benjamin Britten el 1940. És un treball primerenc del compositor britànic, fet amb només 26 anys, no obstant això, marca una de les seves tendències estètiques i existencials: la preocupació per la guerra i el conflicte com a limitador de la singularitat humana.

  • Sinfonia da Requiem, op. 20, pour orchestre, est une œuvre musicale de Benjamin Britten, composée en 1940 alors qu'il avait 26 ans. Au départ, c'était une œuvre commanditée par le gouvernement impérial japonais pour célébrer le 2 600e anniversaire de la fondation de l'Empire(considérée en 660 av. J.-C.). L'usage d'un titre d'œuvre faisant référence au christianisme et le caractère pacifiste du programme la firent rejeter du commanditaire. La première eut lieu au Carnegie Hall à New York le 29 mars 1941 avec le New York Philharmonic dirigé par John Barbirolli. La première japonaise eut lieu seulement en 1956 sous la direction du compositeur. (fr)
  • La Sinfonia da Requiem, Op. 20, per orchestra è una sinfonia scritta da Benjamin Britten nel 1940 all'età di 26 anni. Fu una delle numerose opere commissionate a diversi compositori dal governo giapponese per celebrare il 2600º anniversario della fondazione dell'Impero giapponese da parte dell'Imperatore Jimmu (considerato 11 febbraio 660 a.C. dalla nascita dell'Imperatore Jimmu). Il governo giapponese rifiutò la Sinfonia per il suo uso di titoli latini dal Requiem cattolico per i suoi tre movimenti e per il suo carattere cupo, ma fu accolta positivamente alla sua prima mondiale a New York sotto John Barbirolli. Una performance a Boston con Serge Koussevitzky portò alla commissione dell'opera Peter Grimes delle Koussevitzky Music Foundations. (it)
