American Music

From colonial hymns and revolutionary songs to early American folk traditions, tracing the music of the new republic.
Spirituals, blues, ragtime, and the music born from struggle, migration, and the dawn of a new American sound.
Jazz, big band, country, and the great American songbook — music that defined a generation and traveled the world.
Rock, soul, hip-hop, and the music of protest and pride — the era when American music became a global language.
Contemporary voices shaping what America sounds like today — and what it will become over the next 250 years.
