Ruth Crawford Seeger, Modernist Composer in the Folk Revival

In the first of a Music Division lecture series presenting members of the American Musicological Society who have completed research in the division’s unique collections, Judith Tick discusses aspects of her work on composer Ruth Crawford Seeger. She introduces Seeger’s training as a musician and composer, her work collecting folk songs and her role as wife and mother. In Tick’s words, “As life and art intertwine, so biographical narrative illuminates the history of culture.”
