Descrição

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.
