This is the story of music in the United States, from the sacred music of its earliest days to the jazz and rock that enliven the turn of the millennium. Beginning with the music of Native Americans and continuing with traditions introduced by European colonizers and Africans brought as slaves, the book reveals how this heritage was developed and enhanced in the 19th and 20th centuries to produce the music we hear today. The three-CD set contains historically appropriate recordings of 70 works discussed in the book and is accompanied by listening guides.

Richard Crawford, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and past president of the American Musicological Society, has published ten books on American music. He lives in Michigan.
