Book SubtitleMusical Americanism And The Cold War
Book DescriptionThe ideological conflict brought both challenges and opportunities. Some Americanist composers struggled greatly in this new artistic and political environment. Those with leftist politics sensed a growing gap between the United States that their music imagined and the aggressive global superpower that their nation seemed to be becoming. But these same composers would find unique opportunities to ensure the survival of musical Americanism thanks to the federal government, which wanted to use American music as a Cold War propaganda tool. By serving as advisors to cultural diplomacy programs and touring as artistic ambassadors, the Americanists could bring their now government-backed music to new global audiences

She has received a number of awards for her scholarship, including the ASCAP Foundation's Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award, the Kurt Weill Prize, and the Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award.
