Lohman offers a convincing tale that reveals how song's partisan counterpoint and national harmonies shaped the new nation's mythology and thus its form and future in ways that continue to resonate today. * Mark Clague, Associate Professor of Musicology and American Culture, University of Michigan and Editor-in-Chief of the George and Ira Gershwin Critical EditionA * Lohman masterfully illustrates the central role of political song during the Federal era - how both partisan and nationalistic fervor resounded at public gatherings and shaped not just opinion but how Americans came to view themselves and their new country. * David Hildebrand, Director of The Colonial Music Institute * Author InformationLaura Lohman is a music scholar who explores the intersections of music and politics in varied cultures ranging from twentieth-century Egypt to early America.
