American Popular Music: Readings From the Popular Press, Volume I The Nineteenth-Century Tin Pan Alley Edited by Timothy E. Scheurer Popular Press Beginning with the emergence of commercial American music in the nineteenth century, Volume 1 includes essays on the major performers, composers, media, and movements that shaped our musical culture before rock and roll.

Also included—the music of Tin Pan Alley, ragtime, swing, the blues, the influences of W. S. Gilbert and Rodgers and Hammerstein, and changes in lyric writing styles from the nineteenth century to the rock era.
