Examining the work of such composers as Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, Virgil Thomson, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Arthur Farwell, Beth E. Levy addresses questions of regionalism, race, and representation as well as changing relationships to the natural world to highlight the intersections between classical music and the diverse worlds of Indians, pioneers, and cowboys. Levy draws from an array of genres to show how different brands of western Americana were absorbed into American culture by way of sheet music, radio, lecture recitals, the concert hall, and film. Frontier Figures is a comprehensive illumination of what the West meant and still means to composers living and writing long after the close of the frontier. 410 0$aCalifornia studies in 20th-century music ;$v14. 517 3 $aAmerican music and the mythology of the American West 606 $aMusic$zUnited States$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLegends$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory and criticism 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xHistory$y1890-1945 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLegends$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a781.5/9 700 $aLevy$b Beth E$g(Beth Ellen),$f1972-$01794042 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970277103321 996 $aFrontier figures$94334575 997 $aUNINA
