Bøker av Nicholas E. Tawa

Chronologically following Nicholas Tawa's The Coming of Age of American Art Music, this new study stands on its own in examining the music of the most prominent American composers active in the first three decades of the twentieth century.

Tawa considers the musical and social ramifications influencing the American composer between 1950 and 1985. Insightful commentaries and a highly readable text combine to focus on all contemporary musical styles from the most traditional to the most experimental in relation to modern American life.

This is a study of the way in which popular words and music relate to American life.

Gathers all the available information on Arthur Foote (1853-1937), one of the most important American composers who worked creatively in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With bibliography and musical examples.
