The Great War 1964

This release brings together works composed by Jean Rogister (1879-1964) during World War I: like most of his coreligionists, banned by edict of the occupying forces from appearing in public or even from teaching, Rogister did “profit” in one way from the Great War in that he developed a new embryonic vocation. Whole-heartedly adopting the post-Franckian vein, and remaining faithful to traditional tonality, he forged his own musical idiom, partly due to his melodic verve. A century after the end of the war, now that a “new simplicity” is gaining ground, his meditative and melancholy works, shot through here and there by tensions of various kinds, should have no difficulty in appealing to a new listening public.

The Chad Mitchell Trio were a North American vocal group who gained notoriety during the 1960s. They performed folk songs, some of which were traditionally passed down and some of their own compositions. They became popular in some quarters, and were particularly notable for performing satirical songs that criticized current events during the turmoil in the United States following the cold war and a time of unrest brought about the civil rights movements and the Vietnam War, unlike the typical 'folk music' and singer-songwriter musicians of their time.
