| dc.description.abstract | I have constructed a recital based on the relationship between warfare and love, and the impact one has on the other. Love is a broad concept, and accordingly will be explored from several different viewpoints, primarily of course, dealing with romantic love, but also the love between two close friends, a mother and her son, a man and his family, a man and his country, and God and His people. War will also be viewed from different vantage points: whether from the glorified, nationalistic ideals around World War I; the hero-worship of the 19th century; the warfare between classes in the early 18th century; a source of twisted amusement and dark irony in the early 20th century; and the tragic waste we see today. | |
