Remembering World War 1 Through Music
Across the current decade we commemorate the outbreak of war and the return to peace in two world conflicts. Most significantly we reach the Centenary of the First World War (1914-18).
Explore the themes of war and peace through the following selected works. These include music written by composers in response to the personal loss of friends killed in action, settings of war poetry and testimony from different eras and nationalities, and works extolling the virtues of peace in opposition to the horrors of war.
