Episode 1 : The Roots of American Music
I’m discussing the ways that American music came to be shaped by cultural influences and migration. I will also give a brief biography of five early American composers
who had a significant influence on the creation of different styles of American music.
They are Stephen Foster, John Phillip Souza, Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, and W.C. Handy.
