America's Gilded Age was a time of great musical evolution. As the
country continued to develop a musical style apart from Europe, its
church and religious music and opera took on new forms.
Music-as-entertainment also evolved, with marching bands at public
events and the new musicals in theaters. This volume presents the
composers, musicians, songwriters, instruments and musical forms
that uniquely identify the Gilded Age. Chapters include: Concerts
and Symphony orchestras; Grand Opera; Composers, Critics, and
Conservatories; Amateurs and Music at Home; Sacred Music, Black and
White; Ragtime, Vaudeville, and the American Musical Stage; Music,
Politics, and the Progressive Movement; and Music Industries and
Technology
