A Hundred Years of Music in America is a comprehensive account of the development of music in the United States over the course of the 19th century. Written by William Smythe Babcock Mathews, a prominent musicologist and composer of the period, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the rise of opera and symphonic music, the growth of popular music and musical theater, and the emergence of new forms of music such as jazz and blues. Mathews provides a detailed analysis of the major figures and movements in American music, including Stephen Foster, John Philip Sousa, and George Gershwin, and explores the social, cultural, and political contexts in which they worked. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and contemporary reviews, Mathews paints a vivid and engaging portrait of the rich and diverse musical landscape of 19th-century America. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American music and its cultural significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
