From Broadway to The Bronx (eBook, ePUB)

New York City's History through Song

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An intimate exploration of New York City through the music that defines it.

From Broadway to the Bronx tells the history of New York City in song from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century and across the variety of different genres that the city has been home to and instrumental in developing. Covering everything from early twentieth century sheet music to Broadway's musical theatre, hip hop, disco, punk, dancehall, but also contemporary metal, rock or pop. It features analysis of the work of artists with intimate connections to the city like Lou Reed, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Debbie Harry, Shinehead or the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as an exclusive interview with RENT original cast member, Anthony Rapp.

The collection includes essays from authors across the disciplines of cultural studies, media studies, cultural history and musicology, resulting in a far-ranging treatment of the interconnection of the city space and its musical history.

So, let's take a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line with Billy Joel ... and take a trip into the musical history of New York.
