"Morning Heroes is a choral symphony by the English composer Arthur Bliss. The work received its first performance at the Norwich Festival on 22 October 1930, with Basil Maine as the speaker/orator. Written in the aftermath of World War I, in which Bliss had performed military service, Bliss inscribed the dedication as follows: \"To the Memory of my brother Francis Kennard Bliss and all other Comrades killed in battle\" The work sets various poems: \n* Homer, The Iliad, passages from Book VI (translation of W Leaf) and Book XIX (translation of Chapman) \n* Walt Whitman, \"Drum Taps\" \n* Wilfred Owen, \"Spring Offensive\" \n* Li Tai Po \n* Robert Nichols, \"Dawn on the Somme\" The extracts are spoken by a narrator and sung by a large choir. Juxtaposing the harsh images of trench warfare with the epic heroes of Ancient Greece, the parallels Bliss draws are essentially romantic, and the work as a whole has been criticised as being rather complacent. Bliss himself said that he suffered from a repeating nightmare about his war experiences and that the composition of Morning Heroes helped to exorcise this."@en . .
