In this volume, which achieved immediate praise and recognition upon its publication, Wilder discusses some 800songs from the American Songbook, offering a composer's insight, acceccible music analysis, as well has his strong personal biases. Nearly fifty years later, this classic study has received a much-needed revision. While leaving Wilder's colorful prose and brazen opinions intact, language, style, and musical nomenclature have been updated to reflect current usage. The musical examples mostly remain, but piano score has been replaced with lead-sheet notation: melody, chords, and lyrics. Rhythmic notation has also been adjusted to follow present-day norms. Additionally, a final chapter has been added, which includes more than fifty songs that were not in the original, seeking to achieve greater representation for women and African American composers, as well as including several of Wilder's own songs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Popular music $z United States $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Rawlins, Robert, $e writer of introduction. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Wilder, Alec. $t American popular song $b [3.] $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2022 $z 9780190939977 $w (DLC) 2021034910 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013213.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DF9BD96F83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
