This semester we take an in-depth look at the first half of the 1940s and the extraordinary music created during, and often in direct response to, the Second World War.
Many of the major European musical figures—e.g. Stravinsky, Hindemith, Milhaud, Schoenberg, Bartok, Britten—are living in the United States at the outbreak of the Second World War. American, Russian and European composers—Copland, Barber, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Honegger, Messiaen, Poulenc, Bernstein—feel the strong pull of national service and the need for their work to somehow contribute to the war effort.
