Choral Music in Nineteenth-century America
Author: N. Lee OrrPublisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 9780810836648
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Choral music represented an important part of American cultural life during the nineteenth century, whether integral to worship or merely for entertainment. Despite this history, choral music remains one of the more neglected studies in the scholarly community. In an effort to fill this gap, N. Lee Orr and W. Dan Hardin offer a new approach to the study of choral music by mapping out and bringing bibliographical control to this expansive and challenging field of study. Their unique guide focuses on literature related to choral music in the United States from the end of the second decade of the nineteenth century through the earlier part of the twentieth century. Choral Music in Nineteenth-Century America explores the entire range of choral music conceived, written, published, rehearsed, and performed by an ensemble of singers gathered specifically to present the music before an audience or congregation. The guide expertly sifts through the extensive literature to cite the most notable sources for study and provides individual chapters on the leading nineteenth-century composers who were instrumental in the development of choral music.

Further, it examines the attitudes of ordinary elders and laypersons, showing that they closely followed current events and demonstrating that AME leadership also was exercised from the bottom up." "A century ago, the AME Church recognized that prejudice at home was also a reflection of imperialism abroad. By focusing on the theme of liberty, Little's study offers new insights into that era and shows how African Americans developed a stand on universal human rights and self-determination."--BOOK JACKET.
