At the turn of the 20th century, many American composers became engaged in what is now known as the Indianist Movement. The movement began following published musical transcriptions
and cylinder recordings of Native Americans by American ethnologists. Numerous American composers were inspired by the melodic material and composed works such as symphonies, operas,
choruses, string quartets, piano solos, and art songs from the Native American melodies. This treatise will provide a background on the Indianist Movement in terms of the chronology of
development, the personnel involved, and the means of and reactions to Native American melody harmonization. An in depth study of the text and music from Arthur Farwell's Three Indian Songs,
Op. 32, and Charles Wakefield Cadman's Four American Indian Songs, Op. 45, will highlight the compositional style and harmonic approach by two of the highest regarded Indianist Movement
composers. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. / Fall Semester, 2014. / November 1, 2014. / American, Cadman, Farwell, Indian, Native, song / Includes bibliographical references. / Shirley Close, Professor Directing Treatise; Timothy Hoekman, Committee Member; Andre Thomas, Committee Member.
