<\/i>The Orwig Music Library’s\u00a0new exhibit\u2014In<\/em> Flanders Fields: A Poetic and Musical Symbol of the ‘War to End All Wars’\u2014<\/i>draws on the collections of the Orwig Music Library, the John Hay Library, and personal heirlooms.<\/p>\n

These collection pieces explore both the iconic 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields” (by Canadian doctor and officer John McCrae) and a selection of the many musical settings of this poem that were published in the waning years of the war.<\/p>\n
