Robert Nathaniel Dett And The Music Of The Harlem Renaissance, Daniel Weaver
Robert Nathaniel Dett And The Music Of The Harlem Renaissance, Daniel Weaver
History Theses
While the contributions of writers and poets to the period of American cultural history known as the Harlem Renaissance are relatively well defined and understood, assessing the contributions of musicians has been more problematic. The topic has been covered indirectly through works of American music history and African American history, but there have been comparatively few works linking music directly to the goals of the movement. Much of the insight into music’s place during this period derives from contemporary writers such as Alain Locke and James Weldon Johnson, both of whom featured discussions of music in their writings. Relatively unknown …
