Publisher's Synopsis
American Music Studies: A Classified Bibliography of Master's Thesesis a comprehensive compilation of graduate studies compiled from a broad range of print and electronic sources as well as on-site visits to colleges and universities. Graduate theses are an important source of information often not available elsewhere. For example, many studies focus on regional and local musical practices providing information usually not found in standard historical texts. Likewise, analytical studies deal with lesser-known composers, performers and performing ensembles that nonetheless deserve attention. Readers can expect to find a wealth of information in this handy guide about sacred and secular music, performance, theory, ethnic and religious groups, education and related fields of dance and theater.
