Songs of the First World War


What movies were to World War II, the phonograph was to World War I. Though still in its infancy, it helped galvanize America into action, and it painted a musical portrait of the courage, sacrifice, determination, and patriotism displayed by the United States during "The Great War." If your computer is equipped to play RealAudio or MP3 files, you can hear some of the finest examples of this particular genre, complements of The Virtual Gramophone, by clicking on the songs below. Enjoy!
