World War One and Classical Music

A number of music composers enlisted and went into battle during World War I. Some composed songs and music while there, and some, like Ralph Vaughn Williams, waited until they returned home. Most of the music written during the war was by people who were too old or unfit to serve. Some composers, like Edward Elgar, believed music should help people mourn and help raise morale. Read about some of his classical works and those of Gustav Holtz (The Planets). A slideshow has a number of images from songs of the time and A World Requiem by John Fould that required 1,250 performers.

World War I "It's a long, long way to Tipperary"
by Jack Judge and Harry Williams.
New York: Chappell and Co., [1912].

Songs about the war began to appear almost as soon as World War I began. At first, songs were humorous but as the war went on songs became more serious. The first big hit from Britain was It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary. It was a song good for marching, although the words had nothing to do with the war. By 1917, there were songs urging Americans to be ready to fight. Songs were recorded in all the languages of the combatants, including national anthems. In the United States, pro-war songs quickly grew popular when the US entered the war in 1917. What songs did George M. Cohan and Irving Berlin write?
