Document Summary

Paris- one of the most important cities for modernist composers (debussy, etc. ) New little places come up in the states, not one huge city like europe had. Not really a style in 19th century that composers were leaning towards. European composers wrote as they imagined american music to be. Inspired by african american spirituals, native american songs, etc. Ironically, american composers weren"t interested in these at all. American composers were forging their own and looking to themselves, rather than taking inspiration from the above. Marching bands were a popular thing to look towards. United states was still too young to have its own sound, european styles developed over centuries. Classical, jazz, popular music- genres that end up becoming known as american genres that spread from there. Influence of the family (strong father figure, like mozart and beethoven) Father was a bandmaster, ran bands all over the united states. Modernist, trying to forge something that is american.
