Music in Boston: Composers, Events, and Ideas, 1852-1918 is a
history of the city's classical-music culture in the period that
begins a decade before the American Civil War and extends to the
close of the Great War. The book provides insights into the
intellectual foundation of Boston's musical development as revealed
in the writings of its significant critics and thinkers, including
John Sullivan Dwight, John Knowles Paine, William Foster Apthorp,
and others. It also examines the influence of outsiders-Patrick
Gilmore, Theodore Thomas, Richard Wagner, New York's Metropolitan
Opera, and Richard Strauss-on Boston's performance and composition
scene while also considering events that affected music in Boston,
such as the building of the Music Hall, the acquisition of its
Great Organ, the National Peace Jubilee, Chicago's Columbian
Exposition, Boston's first Wagner Festival, and the rise and fall
of the Boston Opera Company. Music in Boston also accounts for the
ascent of the Second New England School of composers-John Knowles
Paine, Edward MacDowell, George Whitefield Chadwick, Amy Beach and
others-and discusses their key compositions and legacy. Finally,
the book explores Boston itself: its transformations via
immigration, its ever-changing topography, and its economy.
