How Hymnody Carried Classical Music to America

Buch

In the antebellum period, most Americans first encountered European classical music through hundreds of hymn tunes that tapped into classical melodies. This book is the first in-depth study of the rise and fall of these popular, but largely overlooked, adaptations and their place in nineteenth-century American musical life.
