Synopsis
This is a study of experimental and innovative American music in the 20th century, with biographies, evaluation and discography of its pioneering composers. On the East Coast, early in the 20th century, this spirit of innovation was captured by Charles Ives (whose music lay virtually ignored and unperformed until the world caught up with him, 40 years later). On the West Coast, Henry Cowell and John Cage encountered critical resistance. The Americans invented a new musical language, seeking to redefine what could or could not be embraced by the term music., The first book to concentrate on the rebellious trend within American music at the turn of the 20th century. Their pioneering flair was an act of defiance: Americans throwing off the shackles of European tradition and inventing a new language, seeking to redefine what could or could not be embraced by the term 'music'. American Pioneers examines Charles Ives, Henry Cowell, John Cage, Carl Ruggles, Edgard Varèse, Harry Patch, Colin McPhee and Lou Harrison, focusing on the peculiarly American quality of their artistic motivation., The first book to concentrate on the rebellious trend within American music at the turn of the 20thcentury.

American Pioneers examines Charles Ives, Henry Cowell, John Cage, Carl Ruggles, Edgard Varèse, Harry Patch, Colin McPhee and Lou Harrison, focusing on the peculiarly American quality of their artistic motivation., A spirit of innovation has flourished in American music since the turn of the twentieth century, with composers anxious to throw off the shackles of the European masters and invent new musical languages. Charles lves captured this early pioneering flair, taken up later by Henry Cowell and John Cage; all initially met with much critical resistance. The same exploratory driving force is equally strong in the music of Carl Ruggles, Edgard Varese, Harry Partch, Colin McPhee, Lou Harrison and members of America's youngest composing generation.
