American Romanticism

American Romanticism in music is a genre that flourished primarily from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, embodying the principles of Romanticism within a uniquely American context. It is marked by an emphasis on emotional expression, nationalism, and the exploration of the natural and supernatural worlds. Composers like Edward MacDowell, Amy Beach, and Florence Beatrice Price incorporated elements of American folk tunes, Native American music, and African American spirituals into their works, blending them with the rich, expressive harmonic language and expansive forms inherited from European Romantic music. This genre reflects the diverse cultural landscape of America, showcasing an individualistic pursuit of expression while embracing the country's varied traditions and narratives. American Romanticism thus represents a significant period of growth and identity formation in American classical music, distinguishing itself through its innovative integration of diverse musical elements.
