Download or read book Researching Secular Music and Dance in the Early United States written by Laura Lohman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a practical introduction to researching and performing early Anglo-American secular music and dance with attention to their place in society. Supporting growing interest among scholars and performers spanning numerous disciplines, this book contributes quality new scholarship to spur further research on this overshadowed period of American music and dance. Organized in three parts, the chapters offer methodological and interpretative guidance and model varied approaches to contemporary scholarship. The first part introduces important bibliographic tools and models their use in focused examinations of individual objects of material musical culture. The second part illustrates methods of situating dance and its music in early American society as relevant to scholars working in multiple disciplines. The third part examines contemporary performance of early American music and dance from three distinct perspectives ranging from ethnomusicological fieldwork and phenomenology to the theatrical stage. Dedicated to scholar Kate Van Winkle Keller, this volume builds on her legacy of foundational contributions to the study of early American secular music, dance, and society. It provides an essential resource for all those researching and performing music and dance from the revolutionary era through the early nineteenth century.

Download or read book Music of the Colonial and Revolutionary Era written by John Ogasapian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-10-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colonial days of America marked not only the beginnings of a country, but also of a new culture, part of which was the first American music publishers, entrepreneurs, and instrument makers forging musical communities from New England to New Spain. Elements of British, Spanish, German, Scots-Irish, and Native American music all contributed to the many cultures and subcultures of the early nation. While English settlers largely sought to impose their own culture in the new land, the adaptation of native music by Spanish settlers provided an important cultural intersection. The music of the Scots-Irish in the middle colonies planted the seeds of a folk ballad tradition. In New England, the Puritans developed a surprisingly rich—and recreational—musical culture. At the same time, the Regular Singing Movement attempted to reduce the role of the clergy in religious services. More of a cultural examination than a music theory book, this work provides vastly informative narrative chapters on early American music and its role in colonial and Revolutionary culture. Chapter bibliographies, a timeline, and a subject index offer additional resources for readers. The American History through Music series examines the many different types of music prevalent throughout U.S. history, as well as the roles these music types have played in American culture. John Ogasapian's volume on the Colonial and Revolutionary period applies this cultural focus to the music of America's infancy and illuminates the surprisingly complex relationships in music of that time.

Download or read book Hail Columbia written by Laura Lohman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Revolutionary War, Americans were obsessed with politics and the newspapers that reported it. Music made front page news and brought men to blows. Hail Columbia! is the compelling story of of how Americans ranging from presidents to craftsmen cultivated music to fuel heatedpartisan debates over the future of the young republic during this a crucial period in the nation's history. Through music, they debated the meaning of liberty, the nature of the republic, and Americans' proper place within it. Using music for both propaganda and protest, they called for allegianceto a new federal government, spread utopian visions of worldwide revolution, blasted infringements on American freedoms, and spun compelling myths of national military might.In Hail Columbia!, author Laura Lohman uncovers hundreds of songs circulated in newspapers, broadsides, song collections, sheet music, manuscripts, and scrapbooks to fill a major gap in our understanding of American music between the Revolutionary and antebellum eras. Making extensive use ofnewspapers as a primary musical source and treating contrafact as a topic worthy of serious musical scholarship, Lohman traces how Americans as diverse as elite lawyers, immigrant actresses, humble craftsmen, and African American abolitionists used music for specific political purposes. Unpackingthe partisan and propagandist uses of songs commonly thought to be patriotic or national, she traces how Americans put well-known tunes like "Yankee Doodle" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" to disparate political ends when giving them new lyrics. As Lohman shows, such songs were a staple ofelectioneering, tavern gatherings, presidential encomia, street theatre, and community celebrations on occasions like July 4. Through song, Americans called their neighbors and fellow citizens to hail the nation, a nation defined in partisan terms.

Download or read book Virginians Will Dance or Die written by Joshua R. LeHuray and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music was everywhere in pre-Revolutionary Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1771, plantation owner Landon Carter noted in his diary that he could hear instruments through the windows of every house in town. In taverns and private homes, at formal performances and dances and casually around the campfire, music filled the daily lives of the people of Williamsburg. While the average citizen enjoyed music during public events, the city's elite, emulating their British counterparts, spent lavishly on instruments, sheet music and private lessons and held private concerts and dances. Williamsburg's theater, the first of its kind in America, provided a venue for all Virginians and brought numerous musical acts to the stage. Drawing on contemporary newspaper accounts, this book is the first to explore how some 18th-century Williamsburg citizens experienced the growing musical world around them.
