This is an atmospheric choral setting of the text from one of the popular war songs of 1915, “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier,” by lyricist Alfred Bryan and composer Al Piantadosi. This a cappella piece features a soloist and is best-suited to large choirs or very confident smaller groups, and you must have singers in the baritone range for the SSAB arrangement.
