Abstract
(type = abstract)
What is American music? For composers in the late nineteenth century, the question was not so easily answered since a distinctive American musical style had not yet been formed. This dissertation explores three distinct schools of thought that informed the debate over nationalism in American music: the Second New England School, the circle of Antonín Dvořák, and the Indianists. Each school approached American musical nationalism differently. The Second New England School looked almost exclusively to German composers of the nineteenth-century, including Beethoven and Brahms, while Dvořák and his followers looked to American music, most notably American Indian and African American musical styles. The Indianists focused on American Indian melodies. During a time in American history where race and ethnicity played an important role, composers of the Second New England School, Dvořák, and the Indianists posed an important question: What does it really mean to be American? In an effort to untangle the complexities of this question, selected orchestral and chamber works of composers associated with these groups are analyzed to determine what constitutes American nationalism in music.
