During the nineteenth century, nearly one hundred symphonies were written by over fifty composers living in the United States. In the award-winning Orchestrating the Nation: The Nineteenth-Century American Symphonic Enterprise, author Douglas W. Shadle explores the stunning stylistic diversity of this substantial repertoire and uncovers why it failed to enter the musical mainstream. An engagingly written account of a largely unknown repertoire,Orchestrating the Nation shows how artistic and ideological debates from the nineteenth century shape the culture of American orchestral music today.
