"A giant in the development of American musicology, Charles Seeger was a scholar-musician active in practically all areas of musical endeavor: performance, composition, theory, criticism, pedagogy, and musicology. This wide-ranging collection provides a historical context for Seeger's ideas by investigating his writings on music, musical research, and the responsibility of the musician and musicologist to society."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"As early as 1923, Charles Seeger published an article in which he lamented the peripheral status and low standards of music as generally taught in U.S. universities and in which he argued eloquently for the adoption in this country of the term "musicology" to comprehend and replace such clumsy phrases as "'music history, music aesthetics, etc.'" (1923:98)."
