The Sound of a Superpower: Musical Americanism and the Cold War
Ansari, Emily Abrams (Assistant Professor of Musicology, Assistant Professor of Musicology, Western University)
After two decades of remarkable success, the quest to create a uniquely American classical music faltered in the 1950s. Many blamed the Cold War for its demise, but the conflict also brought Americanist composers unprecedented opportunities. This book examines this complex picture and its long-term effects.
