Orpheus in the Wilderness
註釋Orpheus in the Wilderness: A History of Music in Denver, 1860?1925 offers an in-depth look at the city's musical development'from banjo and tambourine solos to symphony orchestras. Originating in Denver's pioneer churches, serious music rapidly expanded from choral singing to recitals, concerts, and chamber music. Civil and military bands joined in the procession of musical forms, and internationally known prima donnas took the stage at the Tabor Grand Opera House. Henry Miles's authoritative and engaging study also includes a look at music education, the people who shaped the musical landscape of Denver, and music reviewers whose words of praise or blame accompanied practically every performance.
