Still Bravely Singing: 'In Flanders Fields,' Composers, and American culture during the Great War

在1915年之后的十年里，约翰·麦克雷的著名诗歌《在佛兰德斯战场上》成为美国和加拿大第一次世界大战的标志。它被广泛转载，启发了阵亡将士纪念日，并出现在超过58个音乐背景下，作曲家从著名的(约翰·菲利普·索萨)到默默无闻的(伊迪丝·诺伊曼)。这项研究考察了他们的诗歌、作曲、作曲家以及他们音乐的社会和政治背景。它不仅在对这首诗的反应上找到了相似之处，也在作品本身以及它们在美国多元音乐社区中的接受程度上找到了相似和不同之处。

In the decade following 1915, John McCrae's celebrated poem 'In Flanders Fields' became an icon of the Great War in the US and Canada. Widely reprinted, it inspired Remembrance Day and appeared in over fifty-eight musical settings by composers ranging from the famous (John Philip Sousa) to the obscure (Edith Neumann). This study examines the poem, the compositions, the composers and the social and political context of their music. It finds resemblances and differences not only in the responses to the poem but in the pieces themselves and their reception in America's multivalent musical communities.
