American Pioneers Zusammenfassung

American Pioneers: Ives to Cage and Beyond Alan Rich

This is the first book to concentrate on the rebellious trend within American music at the turn of the twentieth century. American Pioneers examines Charles Ives, Henry Cowell, John Cage, Carl Ruggles, Edgard Varese, Harry Patch, Colin McPhee and Lou Harrison, focusing on the peculiarly American quality of their artistic motivation. The pioneering flair of these composers was an act of defiance: Americans throwing off the shackles of European tradition and inventing a new language, seeking to redefine what could or could not be embraced by the term 'music'.

American Pioneers Bewertungen

Smoothly executed. The chapter on Cage may well be the best introduction to his thought and work in English.-Gramophone

'...Has a subtle but insistently inquiring approach to biography and details of artistic development. Alan Rich sets out the facts on early-20^th-century music with clarity as well as providing a succinct summary of the background of the rise of concert music in the cultured urban classes if the west coast in the 19^th century.-Musical Times

On the 20th Century Composers Series

As a series, Phaidon's 20th Century Composers has brought remarkable variety and a welter of information, both necessary and delightfully trivial. Intended both for the general reader and for the more enthusiastically musical.-The Scotsman
