Following the Revolutionary War, Americans were obsessed with politics and the newspapers that reported it. Music made front page news and brought men to blows. Hail Columbia! is the compelling story of of how Americans ranging from presidents to craftsmen cultivated music to fuel heatedpartisan debates over the future of the young republic during this a crucial period in the nation's history. Through music, they debated the meaning of liberty, the nature of the republic, and Americans' proper place within it. Using music for both propaganda and protest, they called for allegianceto a new federal government, spread utopian visions of worldwide revolution, blasted infringements on American freedoms, and spun compelling myths of national military might.In Hail Columbia!, author Laura Lohman uncovers hundreds of songs circulated in newspapers, broadsides, song collections, sheet music, manuscripts, and scrapbooks to fill a major gap in our understanding of American music between the Revolutionary and antebellum eras. Making extensive use ofnewspapers as a primary musical source and treating contrafact as a topic worthy of serious musical scholarship, Lohman traces how Americans as diverse as elite lawyers, immigrant actresses, humble craftsmen, and African American abolitionists used music for specific political purposes. Unpackingthe partisan and propagandist uses of songs commonly thought to be patriotic or national, she traces how Americans put well-known tunes like "Yankee Doodle" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" to disparate political ends when giving them new lyrics. As Lohman shows, such songs were a staple ofelectioneering, tavern gatherings, presidential encomia, street theatre, and community celebrations on occasions like July 4. Through song, Americans called their neighbors and fellow citizens to hail the nation, a nation defined in partisan terms.

The first comprehensive history of America’s controversial national anthem and how it evolved from an English barroom ballad into a patriotic hit. Nearly every American knows The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States of America. Yet many people dislike the song, contend that it glorifies militarism, and question its suitability as the musical embodiment of nationhood. Even professional vocalists have trouble singing the multi-octave melody and remembering the words. So why in 1931 did Congress designate it as the official national anthem, more than a century after Francis Scott Key put pen to paper? Filled with fascinating, little-known facts drawn from a variety of primary sources, Star-Spangled Banner provides the first narrative history of this controversial song, which turns 200 years old in 2014. Marc Ferris’s lively account, which traces the evolution of the song’s instant popularity as well as its use and abuse by Americans of different political stripes, also explains the changing rituals surrounding the song, including the practice of standing—with hats removed and hand held over the heart—during public performances. This entertaining book will appeal to patriots of all persuasions, along with sports fans, musicians, veterans, history buffs, and anyone who has ever struggled to hit the high notes in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
