Performance. Balance of power : music as art and social class in the late nineteenth century / Karen Ahlquist ; From flatbush to fun home : the Broadway musical's "cozy cottage" trope / Jeffrey Magee ; Secular music in shape-notes / David Warren Steel -- Patronage. Love in a village and a new direction for musical theater in eighteenth-century America / Sterling E. Murray ; "We're marching to Zion" : Isaac Watts in America / Esther R. Crookshank ; Living in the (publishing) house of music: a short history of composer-driven independent publishing and distribution in the United States / Amy C. Beal ; American music goes to school : a point of view and a case in point / Mark Clague -- Identity. Bodies of music / Songs of Magic / Guthrie P. Ramsey Jr ; Defying boundaries and escaping stereotypes : African American entertainers in the late nineteenth century / Thomas L. Riis ; The "most distinctive and biggest benefit that Broadway has ever known" : producing, performing, and applauding across the color line in the twilight of the jazz age / Todd Decker ; Dialogue without words : identities and dichotomies in Copland's Piano quartet / Jennifer DeLapp-Birkett -- Ethnography. Ferruccio Busoni and the Indians' book / Tara Browner ; Fieldwork on the American campus / Joshua S. Duchan ; Authorship in the age of configurable music / Mark Katz -- Mark Tucker, Thelonious Monk, and "Misterioso" / Jeffery Taylor and Mark Tucker.
Only since the 1970s have the variety of American musical styles and sounds have been allowed to stand on their own two feet in the academic world. Recent efforts to place American music-making within new or heretofore neglected contexts are diverse and inevitably shift our consciousness about music's meaning and impact in culture. This volume contains a series of commentaries or glosses, chapters about American music broadly understood that seek especially to explore four critical factors beyond the the familiar categories defined by repertory or biography alone: the impact of performance; the role of patronage in the creation of musical objects and events; personal identity; and how larger cultural/ethnographic contexts (community values, ethnic markers, and social relations) determine certain musical results.
