Coping with trauma and the losses of World War I was a central
concern for French musicians in the interwar period. Almost all of
them were deeply affected by the war as they fought in the
trenches, worked in military hospitals, or mourned a friend or
relative who had been wounded, killed, or taken prisoner. In
Resonant Recoveries, author Jillian C. Rogers argues that French
modernist composers processed this experience of unprecedented
violence by turning their musical activities into locations for
managing and performing trauma. Through analyses of archival
materials, French medical, philosophical, and literary texts, and
the music produced between the wars, Rogers frames World War I as a
pivotal moment in the history of music therapy. When musicians and
their audiences used music to remember lost loved ones, perform
grief, create healing bonds of friendship, and find consolation in
soothing sonic vibrations and rhythmic bodily movements, they
reconfigured music into an embodied means of consolation-a healer
of wounded minds and bodies. This in-depth account of the profound
impact that postwar trauma had on French musical life makes a
powerful case for the importance of addressing trauma, mourning,
and people's emotional lives in music scholarship. This is an open
