    Wes Anderson makes astonishingly distinctive films, of which Moonrise Kingdom has the "special and singular power" that Anderson ascribes to Britten.
    Within Moonrise Kingdom, the 'Cuckoo' song from "Friday Afternoons" is a poignant inclusion that encapsulates the film's story and protagonists so remarkably. Another Britten piece not included in the film yet relating equally well to it is the folksong arrangement "O Waly Waly" - Anderson's protagonists (the boy and girl, Sam and Suzy) love each other with a freshness that contrasts starkly against the stale dysfunctional relationships of the adult characters, and this calls to mind the last verse of the song: "O love is handsome and love is kind, and love's a jewel while it is new, but when love is old, it groweth cold and fades away like morning dew."
    Wes Anderson and Benjamin Britten: poets of cinema and music, each in his own way and his own time.

    I'm always devastated after listening to War Requiem.
    "Let us sleep, now."
    I'm welling up with tears just thinking about it. Listen to Ralph Vaughn Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, which I believe influenced BB.

    Britten copied Copeland's ideas. I realised this before I found out he spent time with Copeland. I was disappointed that Britten never acknowledged this because I'm a big fan.

      Only briefly & unmarkedly. They are utterly different.

      To me their music sound entirely different from each other. Could you provide a piece of Copeland that exemplifise this comparison? Ive become a big fan of Britten but have yet to hear something from Copeland that really stuck with me.
