What exactly is Neo-Romanticism? And more especially, what is American Neo-Romanticism? I have long been interested in the history of music, and especially in what is often called “neo-romantic” music. Not long ago I made a detailed study of the American Neo-Romantics Ernest Bloch, Samuel Barber and William Grant Still. I have been periodically posting some of that work to my Blog on this website. Below are links to those posts. More in this series will be added as time permits. J. S. Graves
