Music, Media, and Cultural Relations Between the United States and the Soviet Union --Conclusion: Music, Mediated Diplomacy, and Globalization in the Cold War Era --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexDuring the Cold War, thousands of musicians from the United States traveled the world, sponsored by the U.S. State Department's Cultural Presentations program. Performances of music in many styles-classical, rock 'n' roll, folk, blues, and jazz-competed with those by traveling Soviet and mainland Chinese artists, enhancing the prestige of American culture. These concerts offered audiences around the world evidence of America's improving race relations, excellent musicianship, and generosity toward other peoples. Through personal contacts and the media, musical diplomacy also created subtle musical, social, and political relationships on a global scale. Although born of state-sponsored tours often conceived as propaganda ventures, these relationships were in themselves great diplomatic achievements and constituted the essence of America's soft power. Using archival documents and newly collected oral histories, Danielle Fosler-Lussier shows that musical diplomacy had vastly different meanings for its various participants, including government officials, musicians, concert promoters, and audiences. Through the stories of musicians from Louis Armstrong and Marian Anderson to orchestras and college choirs, Fosler-Lussier deftly explores the value and consequences of "musical diplomacy."California studies in 20th-century music.Music in intercultural communicationUnited StatesHistory20th centuryArts and diplomacyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMusic and globalizationUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesForeign relationsCommunist countriesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesCultural policyHistory20th centuryCommunist countriesForeign relationsUnited StatesHistory20th century20th century composers.20th century music.accessible music.bela bartok.bela viktor janos bartok.career.cold war tensions.cold war.comparative musicology.ethnomusicology.folk music.hermann scherchen.hungarian composer.international politics.iron curtain.modernism.music.musical legacy.musical style.musicians.performing arts.pianist.pierre boulez.political action.political pressure.politics.radio programs.socialist realism.socialist state.theodor adorno.western composers.Music in intercultural communicationHistoryArts and diplomacyHistoryMusic and globalizationHistory780.78/73LQ 89307rvkFosler-Lussier Danielle1969-1147463MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788152203321Music in America's Cold War diplomacy3709570UNINA05316nam 22009135 450 991048383190332120251226195534.03-642-10347-210.1007/978-3-642-10347-6(CKB)1000000000804441(SSID)ssj0000355566(PQKBManifestationID)11275411(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000355566(PQKBWorkID)10340955(PQKB)10873631(DE-He213)978-3-642-10347-6(MiAaPQ)EBC3064790(PPN)139962689(EXLCZ)99100000000080444120100301d2009 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtccrMotion in Games Second International Workshop, MIG 2009, Zeist, The Netherlands, November 21-24, 2009 /edited by Arjan Egges, Roland Geraerts, Mark Overmars1st ed. 2009.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2009.1 online resource (XI, 269 p.)
