Book Description
"The Victorian cup on my shelf--a present from my mother--reads 'Love the Giver.' Is it because the very word patronage implies the authority of the father that we have treated American women patrons and activists so unlovingly in the writing of our own history? This pioneering collection of superb scholarship redresses that imbalance. At the same time it brilliantly documents the interrelationship between various aspects of gender and the creation of our own culture."--Judith Tick, author of Ruth Crawford Seeger: A Composer's Search for American Music "Together with the fine-grained and energetic research, I like the spirit of this book, which is ambitious, bold, and generous minded. Cultivating Music in America corrects long-standing prejudices, omissions, and misunderstandings about the role of women in setting up the structures of America's musical life, and, even more far-reaching, it sheds light on the character of American musical life itself. To read this book is to be brought to a fresh understanding of what is at stake when we discuss notions such as 'elitism, ' 'democratic taste, ' and the political and economic implications of art."--Richard Crawford, author of The American Musical Landscape "We all know we are indebted to royal patronage for the music of Mozart. But who launched American talent? The answer is women, this book teaches us. Music lovers will be grateful for these ten essays, sound in scholarship, that make a strong case for the women philanthropists who ought to join Carnegie and Rockefeller as household words as sponsors of music."--Karen J. Blair, author of The Torchbearers: Women and Their Amateur Arts Associations in America

Book Description
Since its publication in 1938, this encyclopedia has been recognized as the outstanding single-volume book in scope, depth, and detail. It is widely considered to be the major encyclopedia of musical knowledge. In each subsequent edition over the years, existing topics were brought up-to-date and new topics were introduced. The changes in this 11th edition, both revision and extension, are contained in an addenda at the rear of the volume. This section is the chronicle of approximately 10 years, 1975-1985, the period separating the 11th edition from the previous one. Much of the material in this new Addenda section deals with topics entirely new to the Cyclopedia, such as persons, places, organizations, and compositional styles, among others. International in scope, this is the most modern reference available for all music lovers. ISBN 0-396-08412-5: $69.95 (For use only in the library).
