Ragtime Between Two cultures

Ragtime: A Bridge Between Two Cultures

In 1974, Hollywood released a picture entitled The Sting. The film starred Robert Redford and won numerous awards, including Best Picture of the Year and Best Musical Score. Almost overnight, the American public was captivated with what some perceived as a new music, Ragtime!

Actually, the rebirth of Ragtime began several years earlier, in the mid-sixties when the nation, after a period of fifty years, began to take a new interest in this music form. And the music of Scott Joplin, the King of Ragtime, is now far more popular than was the case during the Ragtime Era (1897-1917).

Ragtime sits at a point in musical history, balancing both written European tradition and improvised, syncopated African style. Ragtime's musical roots can be traced through the spirituals sung by the slaves, the minstrel shows of the 1870's, and the march. With this integrated history, Ragtime occupies a unique position in American history. It was the first American music that bridged the gap between western and African traditions.

In regard to the origin of the music there are many theories. One view contends that Ragtime syncopation first appeared in the classical works of the American composer, Louis Moreau
