	Music of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of the United States can be characterized by the use of syncopation and asymmetrical rhythms, long, irregular melodies, which are said to "reflect the wide open geography of (the American landscape)" and the "sense of personal freedom characteristic of American life".
		Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the American Civil War, when people from across the country were brought together in army units, trading musical styles and practices.
		Music is an important part of education in the United States, and is a part of most or all school systems in the country.

	USIA, U.S. Society & Values, June 1998 - Joshua Kosman, "New Music for a New Century"
		In the way composers operated and the kinds of music they wrote, in the sorts of performing institutions that brought that music and music of the past to the listening public, old models and ways of thinking that had begun to prove decisively unworkable were being chipped away.
		Much of this music was based on serialism, the system derived from the works of Sch nberg, Webern, and Berg in which the key-centered structures of tonal music were replaced with a systematically even-handed treatment of all 12 notes of the chromatic scale.
		The music that these men performed with their own chamber ensembles long, determinedly static pieces whose repeated scales, chugging rhythms and simple harmonies seemed impossible at first to take seriously turned out to have an enormous impact on a generation of composers.
