Synopsis:
AMERICA'S MUSICAL LIFE strikes a balance in presenting general background and highlighting individual composers, performers, and pieces of music. We learn how sacred music-making coexisted with secular song and dance in the colonies; how nineteenth-century commerce ruled the publication of parlor music; and how the twentieth century introduced an incredibly rich array of styles, encompassing blues, jazz, sound tracks, folk revival, swing, minimalism, rock, and hip-hop, to name just a few, as well as the music of Charles Ives, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Sarah Vaughan--the list is endless.Bringing order to this cacophony, AMERICA'S MUSICAL LIFE gives us a highly readable and informative account of this country's rich musical traditions.
Review:
"This definitive history of music in the U.S. is sure to delight music aficionados and history buffs alike...."
