Designed a portray the past present, and future of America, the new program "American In Music" may be heard over the Crimson Network on Wednesday evenings from 10 to 11 o'clock. Written by Miss Eileen Ellis, Radcliffe '45, the series originates in Radio Radcliffe.
Introduced by the theme song "Mexican" Rhapsody," by Thomas McBride, the programs trace the development of music in the Americas from the time of the Conquest of Mexico to the present day.
Scheduled programs deal with folk music, ballads, the opera, the rise of the modern orchestra, and modern American composers such as MacDowell, Loeffier, and Villa Lobos.
The development of jazz in America is the theme of another discussion, while the two final programs are devoted to "Modern Americana in Music," a final synthesis of the growing American tradition in music, and a glance into the future of music in the Americas.
