| | Anglo-Celtic Music in the United States |
 | | These musics were to become the national and the international popular music vernacular of this century. | | | American country music is a music with roots firmly within the Anglo-Celtic musical tradition brought to the United States by settlers emigrating from Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Wales and England. | | | During the early years of the Grand Ole Opry, the music was intentionally kept in an older style - gospel music, sentimental ballads, solo fiddle music and "old time" country string band music (often with the addition of the harmonica). |

| | The life circumstances of the people listening to the music are an important part of the music itself. | | | The meaning of a certain piece of music is embedded in the past, and in the culture of the people listening to it. | | | The ethnography of music involves not only recording the actual music, but recording how it was made, how it affects people, and how it is used. |

| | Music in the United States in the 1930s |
| | Even though times were tough in the United States during the 1930s, the era provided new innovations in folk music, jazz, popular songs, musicals, and country and western music. | | | The first recordings of country music were made in the 1920s in a style that was then called "hillbilly music." By the 1930s, the media—radio and recordings—had begun to popularize a new style called "country and western," named after its eastern (Nashville, Tennessee) and southwestern (Texas) roots. | | | Many composers wrote for movies and Broadway musicals in the 1930s. |
