Summary: "The Art of Music, Vol. 04 (of 14): Music in America" by Daniel Gregory Mason et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume explores the evolution of music within the United States, dissecting its cultural heritage, influences, and development from past traditions, particularly European, to its distinct identity as it grows within the context of American democracy. The opening of the work presents a compelling perspective on the state of music in America, emphasizing the importance of understanding the past to appreciate the future of American music. It introduces key themes such as the struggle between appreciation of imported European traditions and the quest for a distinctive American sound influenced by diverse musical cultures, including indigenous music. The author conveys a sense of chaotic transition in the musical landscape, noting that while America has absorbed many influences, the nation's creative musical expression is just beginning to emerge, pointing towards a vibrant and dynamic future shaped by its diverse populace.
