Pastoral music was one of the most important methods by which composers engaged with the horrors of the First World War, both at home and abroad. This chapter is divided into three sections, each focusing on pairs of composers who experienced the war in different ways: those who were unable to serve but engaged with the conflict at the home front; those who died in combat, and whose musical legacies have taken markedly different forms; and veterans whose memories catalyzed a new and distinctively modern expression of the pastoral in the decade after the war.
