- W2095129807 abstract "My work in what has come to be called ecomusicology, and more specifically in the intersections between nature, women, and music composition, grows out of a decades-long engagement with American nature writing and a similarly long-lived curiosity regarding one of its most persistent conceits: that the American continent with its plenitude of natural endowments has a unique ability to shape individual character and national identity. America’s nature, so the story goes, dictated its destiny.1 But how was nature or the nation defined, and who got to define it? This is where my current project on women, nature, and music emerges. In the nineteenth century, the idealized American place was most often envisioned as expansive and powerful. Whether it was the Hudson River, Niagara Falls, the Great Plains, the Grand Canyon, or the Rocky Mountains, America’s nature was portrayed as large and majestic, and potentially daunting; its dangers were formidable, even if they were God’s handiwork. Despite cliched references to Mother Nature and Mother Earth it was no place for a lady, or so it would seem. While the earth could be gendered female, America, the nation-place, was decidedly male. In the early years of the twentieth century Teddy Roosevelt reinforced such a reading. The nation’s meaning derived in large part from its size and variety, but no less from the physical prowess required to confront, control, and conquer its nature: enter real-life frontiersman Daniel Boone; James Fenimore Cooper’s fictional hero Natty Bumppo; explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark; and soldier, geologist, explorer John Wesley Powell. One need only think about the real and imagined exploits of these trailblazers, or recall any of hundreds of Hudson River School paintings, or the photographic images of Ansel Adams’s West, or the breathtaking vistas captured in Ken Burns’s 2009 sixpart television series paean The National Parks: America’s Best Idea to appreciate the staying power of this monumental, masculinized reading of “America the Beautiful.” Befitting, perhaps, a nation that in its early decades had little by way of high-cultural institutions or hallowed traditions to anchor its identity, the United States promoted and celebrated its natural endowments and the men who made them yield.2 Writers, photographers, and artists became participants in both formal and informal campaigns promoting America’s nature; in the process they encouraged settlement and secured the continent.
