Abstract
Music of the United States of America (MUSA) signals the comingof-age of American studies within the field of musicology. That the American Musicological Society has undertaken a project of this kind, and that the National Endowment for the Humanities has funded it, testify that our nation's musical traditions, long overlooked or downplayed in the academy, are now recognized as worthy of serious research and study. The humanities' quickening interest in race, class, and gender has done much to promote American musical studies. And the cultural power of American popular music and its offshoots, both in and outside the United States, has claimed a growing share of scholarly attention from various fields. Like other areas into which musical scholars are being drawn, American music is proving itself a challenging, rewarding field for study.1
