Popular Music: Readings From the Popular Press, Volume I
The Nineteenth-Century
Tin Pan Alley
Edited by Timothy E. Scheurer
Popular Press
Beginning with the emergence of commercial American music in
the nineteenth century, Volume 1 includes essays on the
major performers, composers, media, and movements that shaped
our musical culture before rock and roll. Articles explore the
theoretical dimensions of popular music studies; the music of
the nineteenth century; and the role of black Americans in the
evolution of popular music. Also included—the music of Tin
Pan Alley, ragtime, swing, the blues, the influences of W. S.
Gilbert and Rodgers and Hammerstein, and changes in lyric writing
styles from the nineteenth century to the rock era.
