    THE MUSE DONS KHAKI: AMER ICAN SONGS AND MUSIC OF WORLD WAR I by Jacquelin Joan .~~lly Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of :Master of Arts 1963 ( . I APPROVAL SHEET Title of Thesis: The Muse Dons Khaki: American Songs and Music of World War I Name of Candidate: Jacquelin Master of Date Approved: ojd1 / b J ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: The Muse Dons Khaki: American Songs and Music of World War I Jacquelin Joan Kelly, Master of Arts, 1963 Thesis directed by: Gordon w. Prange, Professor Department of History During the years 1917 and 1918 the United States participated in a 11 war to end all wars. 11 During the conflict the government deliberately enlisted the power of song both at home and on the fighting front to help in the great task of winning the war. The idea of organized singing in the training of the U. s. Arrrry was comparatively new at the time America entered Wor ld War I, but it soon came to be recognized as an integral part of the training itself. The government encouraged singing in the army both on marches and in leisure-time groups because it contributed substantially to the enjoyment, contentment and efficiency of the soldier. The ballads, however, that eased tired muscles after a long days march and boosted morale after a day of heavy fighting were not government sponsored songs, but parodies and GI folk songs that the Sammies themselves composed.

    WAR SIRENS: HOW THE SHEET MUSIC INDUSTRY SOLD WORLD WAR I A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC By KRISTIN GRIFFEATH B.M, Lawrence University Conservatory of Music, 2003 M.M., University of Arizona, 2008 D.M.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 Kansas City, Missouri 2011 ©2011 KRISTIN GRIFFEATH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WAR SIRENS: HOW THE SHEET MUSIC INDUSTRY SOLD WORLD WAR I Kristin Griffeath, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 ABSTRACT During World War I the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI) sponsored a national culture of war in posters, speeches, and films. Against this war-soaked cultural backdrop, the sheet music industry echoed the pervasive messages of the CPI, often using images of women to appeal to the American people. Connections between sheet music and CPI poster themes reflect the cultural dominance of war messages, and themes from various CPI-sponsored materials recur as motifs in the era’s sheet music. The sheet music covers, lyrics, and musical cues reinforced prototypical roles for women during the war (from angelic nurses to flirtatious tomboy recruits) as established in the poster art, revealing a gendered cultural code. By purchasing sheet music and carrying it into their homes, American citizens literally bought into the war propaganda, heeding the siren call of the female imagery in CPI advertising to invest materially and emotionally in the war effort. Analysis of cover art, titles, lyrics, and musical examples highlights the use of archetypal images of women from poster and advertising traditions, suggesting that the sheet music industry was an unofficial partner of the CPI.

For some their reintroduction to civilian life was straightforward and uneventful. Many simply returned to the jobs they had previously occupied before the war. For others their readjustment to civilian life was difficult, full of despair and bitter disappointment. Similarly, the repatriation, resettlement and rehabilitation of the empire's soldiers and sailors presented post-war administrations with a host of social, political and economic problems. So far as they were concerned reconstruction was a daunting challenge which had to be met with the greatest possible energy, efficiency and decisiveness.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.
