Summary "Music and Some Highly Musical People" by James M. Trotter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is one of the first comprehensive studies of music in the United States, exploring both the art form itself and its notable practitioners, particularly those from the African American community. Trotter, who had a remarkable life journey from slavery to significant achievements in education and the military, serves as a critical voice in advocating for the recognition and appreciation of the musical talent found within his race. The opening portion of the book sets the stage by establishing the profound and transformative nature of music. Trotter begins with a poetic reflection on music's role and beauty, emphasizing its universal language and ability to evoke deep emotional responses. He outlines the structure of the book, indicating that it will include discussions on the nature of music, its historical context, and biographical sketches of notable musicians within the African American community. This introduction not only defines music and its significance but also announces Trotter's intention to challenge misconceptions about the capabilities of artists from his community, turning the spotlight on their achievements in the world of music.
