Visions of What Used to Be
 
"Visions of What Used To Be," focuses on popular songs from the era of World War I with vocals by Helen Breen and musical direction and accompaniment by Earl Wentz.

The songs portray Americans’ range of hopes and concerns from those years—from the most frivolous flirtations to the serious worries of wartime.

Songs such as "Memories" and "Beautiful Ohio" are nostalgic for a simpler time. Other songs show America’s fascination with the world beyond her shores ("Hindustan") and “our boys” fighting in Europe ("Madelon," "Keep the Home-Fires Burning," "K-K-K-Katy"). Popular love songs affirm the devotion of separated lovers ("Till We Meet Again," "Roses of Picardy"). And comic songs celebrate the joys of returning home from war ("I’ve Got My Captain Working for Me Now," "Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! Oh!," "How ‘Ya Gonna Keep ‘Em Down on the Farm"). The optimistic dreams of young Americans are expressed in the hit song "Till the Clouds Roll By," while the song "Smiles" lifts everyone's mood!

Using authentic accompaniments, "Visions of What Used To Be" recreates the spirit and sound of popular music from this complex, energetic time. With additional vocals by Susan Young and Colin Roberts.

Price: $15.00

A treasury of World War I songs featuring vocals by Helen Breen and musical direction and accompaniment by Earl Wentz!
