Composing oneself (reprise). 330 $aIn this vibrant and pioneering book, Nadine Hubbs shows how a gifted group of Manhattan-based gay composers were pivotal in creating a distinctive "American sound" and in the process served as architects of modern American identity. Focusing on a talented circle that included Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Leonard Bernstein, Marc Blitzstein, Paul Bowles, David Diamond, and Ned Rorem, The Queer Composition of America's Sound homes in on the role of these artists' self-identification-especially with tonal music, French culture, and homosexuality-in the creation of a musical idiom that even today signifies "America" in commercials, movies, radio and television, and the concert hall. 606 $aMusic$zUnited States$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational music$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGay composers$zUnited States 610 $aamerica. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican identity. 610 $aamerican music. 610 $aamerican sound. 610 $aart and music. 610 $abiographical. 610 $acomposers. 610 $afamous musicians. 610 $afrench culture. 610 $agay composers. 610 $agay modernists. 610 $agender identity. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahistory of homosexuality. 610 $ahomosexuality. 610 $algbtq. 610 $amanhattan. 610 $amodern america. 610 $amusic and culture. 610 $amusic historians. 610 $amusic history. 610 $amusic students. 610 $amusic studies. 610 $amusicology. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aqueer studies. 610 $aself identification. 610 $atonal music. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGay composers 676 $a780/.86/640973 700 $aHubbs$b Nadine$01019802 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783386403321 996 $aThe queer composition of America's sound$92406386 997 $aUNINA
