These songs brilliantly captured the moment when popular music in America transitioned away from its European operatic heritage, and when the distinction between low- and high-brow \"popular\" musical forms was free to develop, with all its attendant cultural snobbery and rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarry Hamberlin is an Associate Professor of music at Middlebury College, Vermont, where he teaches courses in European and American popular and classical music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100754633011,"sku":"9780190632199","price":66.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YiBwtFb1839780190632199.webp?v=1772490566","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/tin-pan-opera-operatic-novelty-songs-in-the-ragtime-era-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
