	WCPE - Classical Music News
		Classical music has become so marginalized that Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Los Angeles Philharmonic's dashing music director, recently said that, in his city, classical is the new counterculture.
		Nearly 60 percent of 2,200 adults polled at random said they have some interest in classical music, and about 27 percent make classical music a part of their lives "pretty regularly," according to a study commissioned by the foundation.
		To wit, despite the professed connection many Americans feel to classical music, less than 5 percent of adults in the 15 communities are regular patrons of their orchestras.

	Classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
		The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Bach to Beethoven as an era in music parallel to the golden age of sculpture, architecture and art of classical antiquity (from which no music has directly survived).
		Improvisation in classical music performance was far more common during the Baroque era than in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and recently the performance of such music by modern classical musicians has been enriched by a revival of the old improvisational practices.

	American classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American classical music is music written in the United States but in the European classical music tradition.
		Heinrich was the first American composer to write for symphony orchestra, as well as the first to conduct a Beethoven symphony in the United States (in Lexington, Kentucky in 1817).
		In the early 20th century, George Gershwin was greatly influenced by African American music; however, this was during an era of legally enforced "Jim Crow" segregation during which his music perhaps enjoyed undue fame owing to the refusal of white listeners to listen to music that formed Gershwin's sources.

	Classical Net Review - American Music in the Twentieth Century
		Like Struble's History Of American Classical Music, this is intended to be an historical survey, organized by period or style (with some of the same difficulties in keeping the apples and oranges separated) and by individual composer within those categories.
		Each survey focuses on musical composition and style, rather than performance practice, musical institutions, or economic and social aspects of the musical world, although such matters are touched on as part of the larger context of original creativity.
		His preference for the "downtown" new music scene, rather than the "uptown" musical establishment is clear, both in the composers he includes and those he does not choose to discuss or even mention.

		All musical genres are represented on the American music scene, but the resource collection here will focus on jazz and rock/country and classical music.
		Folk music was based largely on ballads brought over from Scotland, England, and Ireland; it had been preserved in such enclaves as the mountains of North Carolina and West Virginia.
		A distinctively American classical music came to fruition when such composers as George Gershwin and Aaron Copland incorporated homegrown melodies and rhythms into forms borrowed from Europe.

	An American Celebration, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		A survey of An American Celebration, the NY Philharmonic's fabulous box set of American classical music, from the pioneering work of Ives and Ellington to the modernism of Crumb and Reich, with special attention to Copland and Bernstein.
		For Bernstein, music had to have an emotional dimension at its core, but Boulez took the further leap to the most progressive music in which randomness and mechanics play essential roles.
		While much of his other work espouses American ideals of freedom and justice, this piece is a rather dry neoclassical abstraction, rooted in old forms but with a modern temperament and sound, and seems tied far closer to Bloch's native Switzerland than to his adopted land.

	Classical Net Review - The History Of American Classical Music
		In comparison with another recent book, Lyle Gann's American Music in the Twentieth Century (Schirmer, 1997), which focuses very heavily on experimental innovators, Struble attempts to give a more even-handed consideration to three main currents: the Americanist, the academic and the experimental.
		This survey of American musical history might have been subtitled simply with the dates 1620-1993, because Struble opens with a chapter called "Forerunners," outlining seven distinct, and old, regional styles that had some influence on later developments.
		Finally, in conclusion, Struble lays out alternative futures for classical music in America, along with a discussion of factors such as the enormous proliferation of composers, self-censorship by composers faced with funding and grant guidelines, "the double-edged sword" of recording and broadcasting developments, and audience concerns.

	Leonard Bernstein - Biography - AOL Music
		Bernstein's formal music training began astonishingly late, at age 14, by which time he was already immersed in the beginnings of a musical career.
		He later became the musical protégé of Serge Koussevitsky, the celebrated music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and also fell under the spell of composer Aaron Copland, who, like Mitropoulos, was also attracted to Bernstein on a sexual level.
		By the mid-'60s, Bernstein commanded a huge cult of admirers, encompassing relatively casual listeners as well as dedicated classical enthusiasts, although the most conservative and tradition-minded classical aficionados still maintained their doubts until the completion of his recordings of the late Haydn symphonies, after which even they were converted.

	peermusic classical : Publisher of Contemporary Classical Music Since 1948
		By DANIEL J. David Diamond, a major American composer whose early brilliance in the 1940's was eclipsed by the dominance of atonal music but who later experienced a renaissance, died on Monday evening.
		In a sense, his rise, obscurity and then resurgence mirrored the larger story of American classical music in the last 50 years, as it moved from domination by atonalism to a sometimes tonal, even Romantic idiom.
		Diamond wrote music marked by a deep sense of structure - he was a master of fugues and sets of variations - and at times by tart harmonies and wiry melodies.

		The orchestra plays on historic instruments and uses performance techniques of the 17th-19th centuries, giving the music a completely different texture from the sound one hears when the same music is performed with a modern instrument orchestra.
		Interested in reviving and preserving the art of playing period instruments, the American Classical Orchestra also fosters the education of musicians and the public in authentic performance technique.

	About USA : Arts& Entertainment >Classical Music
		With the advent of the 20th century, sparked by the immigrant urge to assimilate, isolationism, the excitement of jazz, and a “can-do” spirit, American composers started to create an astounding variety of distinctively American classical music.
		Music composition of the greater part of the 20th century, especially the period after World War II, is characterized by experimentation and a constant search for new systems of writing music, new forms and new styles.
		Many early American operas took classical or European stories for their subjects, but by the end of the 19th century, composers increasingly turned to American themes.

		The great wealth of music composed by Americans over the past centuries is undoubtedly one of the greatest contributions to world culture the United States has made, and we celebrate it this year at Sherwood.
		Whether in the use of "everyday" music by Charles Ives, blues by George Gershwin, Latin rhythms by Leonard Bernstein, folk tunes by Aaron Copland, avant-garde of John Cage, or minimalism of Phillip Glass; American classical music is broad, fresh and beautifully unique.
		Since then, musicals have provided a forum for some of America's greatest musical minds to compose, playwrights to write and choreographers and dancers to make their artistic mark.
