Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of Francis Hopkinson and James Lyon, two relatively unknown but important early American composers, and provides valuable insight into the musical life of Philadelphia in the late 18th century. The author examines the conditions and sources that helped nurture musical talent in the New World, and places Hopkinson and Lyon within the context of their time. The book analyzes how these pioneering musicians contributed to the development of American music. New light is shed on Hopkinson, who is commonly regarded as the father of American music, and Lyon, a lesser-known yet significant clergyman-composer. By describing Hopkinson and Lyon's careers, as well as their musical compositions and contributions, the author reveals the importance of their work in shaping the musical culture of the young nation.
