Description
This book provides a practical introduction to researching and performing early Anglo-American secular music and dance with attention to their place in society.
Supporting growing interest among scholars and performers spanning numerous disciplines, this book contributes quality new scholarship to spur further research on this overshadowed period of American music and dance. Organized in three parts, the chapters offer methodological and interpretative guidance and model varied approaches to contemporary scholarship.
The first part introduces important bibliographic tools and models their use in focused examinations of individual objects of material musical culture.
The second part illustrates methods of situating dance and its music in early American society as relevant to scholars working in multiple disciplines.
The third part examines contemporary performance of early American music and dance from three distinct perspectives ranging from ethnomusicological fieldwork and phenomenology to the theatrical stage.
Dedicated to scholar Kate Van Winkle Keller, this volume builds on her legacy of foundational contributions to the study of early American secular music, dance, and society.
It provides an essential resource for all those researching and performing music and dance from the revolutionary era through the early nineteenth century.
