Synopsis

`Skilful rhetoric combining narration and analysis.' COUNCIL FOR RESEARCH IN MUSIC EDUCATION The importance of Lowell Mason to the development of musical culture in the United States is not so widely appreciated in Europe as it is inhis home country, but he filled a vital role at a particular point in time and his influence has been lasting, especially in his two pioneer fields, those of church music and musical education. Mason's special qualities of musicianship and leadership transformed the rather aimless musical culture of the America of the early 1900s. He established himself as a respected music leader at a relatively young age: though his compositions cannot be regarded as profound, they displayed a set of values which showed him in harmony with the standards of the day. He was also a realistic, systematic and determined leader of men. This illuminating biography considers all aspects of Mason's life and work, drawing on much original material.
