- 요약By the end of the nineteenth century, Bostonians had positioned themselves as leaders of sociocultural development in the United States. In 1885, one international visitor wrote about his trip to Boston and fondly recalled how he was particularly entertained by the "many musical entertainments showered upon Boston," citing the Boston Orchestral Club and the Apollo Club as giving the most captivating performances. By this time, music clubs had woven themselves into the city's sociocultural tapestry, playing a critical role in securing the city's reputation as a national leader for musical development and progress. Despite achieving such an impressive reputation, Boston's concert tradition remained firmly tethered to the Germanic musical canon; an unintended result set forth by musical luminaries from decades prior, including those in music clubs, many of whom modeled Boston's musical life on contemporary German examples. Frustrated by their lack of a musical identity independent from European traditions, late nineteenth-century Americans experienced a national cultural awakening as citizens began wrestling with what it meant to be distinctly "American."As Americans grappled with the elusiveness of their own national cultural identity, they turned to music as a medium that could play a crucial role in defining who they were as well as how they could distinguish themselves from European nations whose music had formed their programmatic backbone from decades prior. When it came to actualizing this vision of an American musical culture separate form European concert traditions, one key player remained involved: local music clubs. Due to their long history within the city's social landscape, by the turn of the twentieth century, Boston's music clubs-though varied in purpose, scope, and personnel-had rendered themselves the ideal space for addressing larger topical issues, such as national cultural identity. Using records preserved by the National Federation of Music Clubs, the Massachusetts Federation of Music Clubs, and other primary source material preserved by other federated and non-federated music club leaders in Boston, this dissertation contextualizes Boston's music clubs within broader American musical development and considers their role when it came to shared efforts in characterizing American music apart from European traditions. These materials, which contain ephemera collected by club presidents and leaders throughout the 1910s and into the 1920s, not only reveals how these groups worked towards establishing an American musical identity, but also how they reflected and responded to larger sociocultural issues of their day. To date, these materials have not been examined, yet close scrutiny reveals how, through their engagement with larger national issues, they worked as significant agents of social and cultural change.

■520 ▼aBy the end of the nineteenth century, Bostonians had positioned themselves as leaders of sociocultural development in the United States. In 1885, one international visitor wrote about his trip to Boston and fondly recalled how he was particularly entertained by the "many musical entertainments showered upon Boston," citing the Boston Orchestral Club and the Apollo Club as giving the most captivating performances. By this time, music clubs had woven themselves into the city's sociocultural tapestry, playing a critical role in securing the city's reputation as a national leader for musical development and progress. Despite achieving such an impressive reputation, Boston's concert tradition remained firmly tethered to the Germanic musical canon; an unintended result set forth by musical luminaries from decades prior, including those in music clubs, many of whom modeled Boston's musical life on contemporary German examples. Frustrated by their lack of a musical identity independent from European traditions, late nineteenth-century Americans experienced a national cultural awakening as citizens began wrestling with what it meant to be distinctly "American."As Americans grappled with the elusiveness of their own national cultural identity, they turned to music as a medium that could play a crucial role in defining who they were as well as how they could distinguish themselves from European nations whose music had formed their programmatic backbone from decades prior. When it came to actualizing this vision of an American musical culture separate form European concert traditions, one key player remained involved: local music clubs. Due to their long history within the city's social landscape, by the turn of the twentieth century, Boston's music clubs-though varied in purpose, scope, and personnel-had rendered themselves the ideal space for addressing larger topical issues, such as national cultural identity.
