Piece Comment

Review of WW-I and Armistice Day


The use of interview tape with a WWI veteran enhances this piece tremendously, as does the period music recordings. It is a piece that would work well, obviously, with Veterans' Day. But it also hints at themes which could be expanded upon, such as war in general and propaganda that is used during war time, including the current war in Iraq. Everyone should be aware of where our Veterans' Day comes from and the tremendous sacrifice that our veterans have made.
