In an engaging blend of music analysis and cultural critique, Charles Hiroshi Garrett examines a dazzling array of genres-including art music, jazz, popular song, ragtime, and Hawaiian music-and numerous well-known musicians, such as Charles Ives, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Irving Berlin. Garrett argues that rather than a single, unified vision, an exploration of the past century reveals a contested array of musical perspectives on the nation, each one advancing a different facet of American identity through sound.Roth Family Foundation music in America imprint.Nationalism in musicMusicUnited States20th centuryHistory and criticismElectronic books.
