The Ku Klux Klan has received much attention for its violent
activities, but comparatively little research has been done on its
musical legacy. The printed music that still exists is spread
throughout the nation in both public and private collections. This
work presents, chronologically, the music associated with the Klan
from 1867 to 2000, thus enabling readers to sense the arguments and
attitudes of the Klan as they developed and changed over time.
Because of the relative scarcity of Klan-related music, non-Klan
music that mentions the word ""Klan"" is included. These obscure
references help place the Klan in a larger social perspective and
are very important in documenting anti-Klan musical reaction. In
instances where a song merely mentions the Klan, usually in only
one verse or in the chorus, then only that verse containing the
Klan reference, plus appropriate context, is included. The
catalogue also includes Klan-related music that does not have
lyrics, such as marches, waltzes, two-steps, and several
Klan-related pieces that were published in Europe. Sheet music was
virtually nonexistent after the 1930s, so in order to capture a
feeling of Klan-related music today, a limited discography of
Klan-related recordings from 1920 to 2002 is also included.
