from Specimen Days-A tremendous suite for Medium-Low Voice with Piano accompaniment by contemporary American composer Ned Rorem.

It is dedicated to those who died in Vietnam on both sides during the composition between 20th and 30th of June 1969. War Scenes was first performed in 1969 though the texts come from Walt Whitman’s civil war diary Specimen Days originally published in 1882.
