Description
As the United States Military has developed and changed over the past two and a half centuries, the tradition of music in the military has remained, although it is quite apparent that its purpose and application has changed significantly in comparison to its initial purposes. Ultimately, this project is intended to preserve some of the history behind one of America’s oldest traditions, and to compare and contrast its initial purposes and applications with those of today. Through this project, readers will gain an understanding to the origins of martial music, how and why it has changed over time, and discover the more recent uses of music in the American Military during the U.S. War on Terror in Afghanistan.
