€ 20,00

Sadly war has always been a staple of humanity and music a part of it, whether on the battlefield in form of a march or as propaganda in form of an inspiring anthem.

Art music has dedicated a lot of attention to warlike themes, conveying all the facets of the most foolish human activity, from heroism, to loss, to horror.
Were composers happy just writing music about war? Did they not condemn it? If so, how?

A deep dive into this troubling topic will give us relief and understanding of our own time, plagued by war as all times.
