Patriotic music clash over Star Spangled Banner act
The Boston Symphony faced backlash in Providence when asked to close a concert with the Star Spangled Banner. Director Dr. Garl Muck, a German citizen, was linked to the controversy though he said he knew nothing of the petition. The incident highlighted a broader wartime patriotic tone in U.S. music, echoed by calls from AFM president Joseph Weber and moves by the Metropolitan Opera to drop German language performances.
