Customer Reviews

Great WWII Song Book

I have been looking for a piano book of WWII songs. Anyone who loves those songs from that era will be more than pleased with this song book. It will bring back memories for those old enough to remember!

An excellent choice for anyone interested in WWII pop music.

This book includes the music of many of the songs popular during WWII (e.g., "White Cliffs of Dover"). Interestingly, the music also includes many of the popular musical and vocal introductions which then lead into the main song. The chord structures have many of the subtle nuances familar in that era which fit so beautifully with the melodies. The book contains a brief history of activities on the home front, complete with photographs. Recognize that many of these songs were played to those remaining behind in the U.S.. This book is an excellent choice for anyone interested in this popular music.
