American music is culturally diverse and exciting, mirroring all the best America
has to offer. The last two centuries have seen an extraordinary flowering of musical
life in the United States. In recognition of the many gifted American men and
women of music, Naxos is pleased to present the American Classic Series.
When complete, this series will consist of over 200 titles, exploring the full
spectrum of American concert music. All the familiar names are there: Copland,
Ives, Grofé, Barber, and Sousa but so are many others such as: Bennett,
Dédé, Foote, McKay, and Siegmeister all of whom have contributed
to the rich musical tapestry that is American.
All of us at Naxos invite you to journey with us as we set out to discover
America.
