Mission Statement

The goals of American Music Preservation.com are these...
  • To Present...
    information about American music from the 17th to 20th centuries, especially neglected areas or events.
    For example: the Chicago World's Fair Concerts of 1893.
  • To Preserve...
    music from lesser known as well as familiar composers.
    For example: the unjustly neglected 19th century composer E. A. Jones.
  • To Promote...
    worthwhile music for today's audience through rare recordings.
    For example: the
    American Music Recordings Archive.
  • To Protect...
    by giving proper credit to the songwriter or composer.
    For example: the song not co-written by Elvis Presley - "Love Me Tender."
  • To Provide...
    accurate information about a piece of music.
    For example: the popular Shaker song - "Simple Gifts (Tis the gift to be simple) "
