In Rethinking American Music, Tara Browner and Thomas L. Riis
curate essays that offer an eclectic survey of current music
scholarship. Ranging from Tin Pan Alley to Thelonious Monk to hip
hop, the contributors go beyond repertory and biography to explore
four critical yet overlooked areas: the impact of performance;
patronage's role in creating music and finding a place to play it;
personal identity; and the ways cultural and ethnographic
circumstances determine the music that emerges from the creative
process. Many of the articles also look at how a piece of music
becomes initially popular and then exerts a lasting influence in
the larger global culture. The result is an insightful
state-of-the-field examination that doubles as an engaging short
course on our complex, multifaceted musical heritage. Contributors:
Karen Ahlquist, Amy C. Beal, Mark Clagu,. Esther R. Crookshank,
Todd Decker, Jennifer DeLapp-Birkett, Joshua S. Duchan, Mark Katz,
Jeffrey Magee, Sterling E. Murray, Guthrie P. Ramsey Jr., David
Warren Steel, Jeffrey Taylor, and Mark Tucker
