Most histories of American music have ignored the presence of
twelve-tone music before and during the Second World War, and
virtually all have ignored its presence after 1970, even though so
many major composers continued (and continue) to compose serially.
This book provides a comprehensive history of twelve-tone music in
America, and compels a revised picture of American music since 1925
as a dynamic steady-state within which twelve-tone serialism has
long been, and still remains, a persistent presence: a vigorous and
unbroken tradition for more than eighty years. Straus outlines how,
instead of a rigid orthodoxy, American twelve-tone music is
actually a flexible, loosely-knit cultural practice. The book
provides close readings of thirty-seven American twelve-tone works
by composers including Copland, Babbitt, Stravinsky and Carter,
among many others, who represent a typically American diversity of
background and life circumstances, and strips away the many myths
surrounding twelve-tone music in America.
