Frontier Figures: American Music and the Mythology of the American West Volume 14 Tapa blanda - 2012 - 1st Edición
de Beth E. Levy
Descripción de contraportada
"Beth Levy has written an elegant work of depth and breadth that gives generous space to the idea of the American West. Her discussions of more than a dozen composers and their works--some usual suspects, others rather unexpected--reveal the 'varied musical ecosystems of the west.' Levy takes us with her on the trail in prose that is by turns pithy and poetic, but always spot on."--Denise Von Glahn, author of The Sounds of Place: Music and the American Cultural Landscape
"Big and bold as the terrain it covers, Beth Levy's Frontier Figures takes us on a gratifying road trip, traversing American 'classical' compositions that conjure up landscapes from the Middle West to the shores of the Pacific. En route, we encounter many now-famous composers, such as Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, and Virgil Thomson, along with others who have faded from view. Throughout, Levy treats the 'West' as both geographic location and mythologized ideal, demonstrating its power on the American musical imagination."--Carol Oja, author of Making Music Modern: New York in the 1920s.
