In Flanders Fields: Songs from the Great War to Commemorate the Centennial of the Armistice

Summary Before George Butterworth fought in The Great War, he wrote his Six Songs from A Shropshire Lad as an expression of his love for traditional English folk songs. Ives' powerful In Flanders Fields communicates the American composer's sentiments about war, while composer and British army member Ivor Gurney's Ludlow and Teme evokes the English town of his youth. Songs by some of America's greatest Tin Pan Alley songwriters close out this afternoon of musical storytelling.
