This article discusses how singing played an integral role in the training of US soldiers during World War I. President Wilson established the Commission on Training Camp Activities (CTCA) to build an army in 1917, and among its most valued activities was singing. As a military tool, some organizers even explicitly linked singing to the ability to fight and shoot well. The political rhetoric of the American war effort and the government’s plans to train soldiers intersected closely with a boom in war song publication. Societal ideas of masculinity find redefinition during this period, and Julia Kristeva’s idea of the political subject frames a discussion of rhetorical and musical impact on the masculinity of the soldier. In the context of the military and gender discourse of the time, “Over There,” “Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,” “Joan of Arc,” and “My Belgian Rose” find detailed analysis. 48 See The Great War: An Evocation in Music and Drama through Recordings Made at the Time, Pavillion Records, Sussex, 1989.
