Not originating in war activities, community singing gained traction around 1913, with the war only serving to stimulate its popularity. As the war effort required a unified nation, musicians were called upon to use their talents to inspire patriotism and fortitude. In the post-war era, however, many of these musicians felt a pull to return to traditional musical standards, a notion the author argues against. The book maintains that community singing, in fact, proves beneficial to a nation's morale, promoting a shared experience and enhancing the lives of all participants, regardless of background or skill level. Thus, the book concludes that community singing is not merely a trend, but a valuable cultural phenomenon that enriches society and should be encouraged.
