Over Here & Over There: Songs From And About The Great War
Join us for a special musical program Over Here & Over There: Songs From And About The Great War (WWI) on June 13th at 1:00pm. In honor of the Centennial of the United States’ active involvement in World War I (1917), Tom Callinan, designated Connecticut’s 1st Official State Troubadour in 1991, has developed a program of diverse songs from and about World War I. Interspersed with the music, and through the prism of history, Mr. Callinan weaves a narrative regarding some of the contributing factors, which made “The War To End All Wars” the first modern war. Prior to President Wilson’s request to Congress for a Declaration Of War in 1917, the slaughter had dragged on for nearly 3 years, killing many millions of combatants and civilians. Although the United States had adopted an official position of isolationism, it maintained transatlantic trade with our allies in Europe. However, with continued German U-Boat attacks on merchant and passenger shipping and other factors at home and abroad, the veil of neutrality inevitably fell, and the United States committed her nation’s blood and treasure to the fray – initially with a volunteer military, and then a draft. The songs in Tom’s program represent a mixture of moods: patriotic songs that accompanied the troops marching off to war, full of exuberance and bravado; popular songs from the music halls, and Tin Pan Alley; songs of farewell; others that dealt with the loss of innocence, resulting from the soldiers’ time spent overseas; the most popular anti-war song of the period; and contemporary, retrospective songs. Among the latter group is Tom’s original composition, “Searching for Great-Uncle Jerry”, written in honor of his late greatuncle Jeremiah J. Coleman, who was killed in action in France in 1918.
