The music of war: Seven World War 1 composers and their experience of combat.
Abstract
The effect of World War 1 military service on composers has been neglected in comparison
with poets and artists. This article describes the wartime service of Arthur Bliss,
Ralph Vaughan Williams, Ivor Gurney, EJ Moeran, Gordon Jacob, Patrick Hadley, and
Maurice Ravel. The relationship between experiences of combat and the psychological
health of these men is examined, with consideration being given to predisposition
and possible causative influences of military service on their later careers, examined
from individual and societal perspectives.
