This book provides a practical introduction to researching and
performing early Anglo-American secular music and dance with
attention to their place in society. Supporting growing interest
among scholars and performers spanning numerous disciplines, this
book contributes quality new scholarship to spur further research
on this overshadowed period of American music and dance. Organized
in three parts, the chapters offer methodological and
interpretative guidance and model varied approaches to contemporary
scholarship. The first part introduces important bibliographic
tools and models their use in focused examinations of individual
objects of material musical culture. The second part illustrates
methods of situating dance and its music in early American society
as relevant to scholars working in multiple disciplines. The third
part examines contemporary performance of early American music and
dance from three distinct perspectives ranging from
ethnomusicological fieldwork and phenomenology to the theatrical
stage. Dedicated to scholar Kate Van Winkle Keller, this volume
builds on her legacy of foundational contributions to the study of
early American secular music, dance, and society. It provides an
essential resource for all those researching and performing music
and dance from the revolutionary era through the early nineteenth
century.
