Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"With its stimulating blend of revealing music interpretation and compelling historical context, this volume brings the music of World War I to life in fascinating detail."--Christina Baade, author of Victory through Harmony: The BBC and Popular Music in World War II
"These ten essays, most drawn from these conferences, present a range of interesting and creative discussions of classical and popular music at the time." --Choice
"There is a dearth of detailed work on classical music's response to the First World War, so often seen as "the most literary war in history." There is even less written about the parallel and intricately linked responses of American, Canadian and British composers. This is a timely, fascinating and accessible study, crossing continents to ask questions of music's role in times of international crisis."--Kate Kennedy, coeditor of The Silent Morning: Culture and Memory after the Armistice
