| Abstract | America's rich ethnic heritage has produced music of extraordinary diversity. American popular music, evolving from African and European traditions, has long been our greatest musical gift to the world. While classical music took several centuries to break from its European progenitors, it too finally found its own voice in the work of Charles Ives and his successors. |
