Preferred term

music and war  

Definition

  • Music is ideal for expressing the intense emotions related to war, and those works inspired by conflicts in which the United States was involved reflect the diversity of American music. From simple folk songs to large choral works and classical symphonies, this music documents how Americans reacted to war—how it affected their lives and feelings of nationalism.
