DANYLIW RESEARCH SEMINAR ON CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE

The need to draw international attention to the cruelty of war triggered the transformation of apolitical composers into sonic writers of history. Based on research conducted in 2014, 2021, and 2022, this paper positions musical responses to war within the history of art music composed by European composers in response to the 20th century wars.
