The Folk Heritage in Music.
This is a study of national expression in music and the use of folk and popular music by great composers from the 17th century to the present day. Finkelstein’s work provides new insights into both popular and classical music, to the relationships between music and society and the influence of folk music upon the whole of our musical heritage. Sidney Finkelstein’s contribution to the understanding of music with Composer and Nation is unusual. It underlines the crucial role of African-Americans in shaping jazz, in the final chapter.
This edition of the work will be equally useful to the student and the lover of music.
Updated with a Foreword and Afterword by Professor Carmelo Comberiati. 356 pages.
