    In Robert Wards The Crucible: Creating an American Musical Nationalism, Robert Paul Kolt explores the life of the American composer Robert Ward through an examination of his most popular and enduring work, The Crucible. Focusing on the musical-linguistic relationships within the opera, Kolt demonstrates Wards unique synthesis of text and music, one that lends itself to the perception of American musical nationalism. This book contains the most thorough and in-depth biography of Ward yet in print. Based on interviews with the composer, Kolt presents new information about Wards life and career, focusing on his opera and examining the formation and construction of The Crucibles libretto and score, in turn offering new insights into the process of composing an opera. Kolt observes how the librettos linguistic aspects helped Ward formulate the operas melodic and rhythmic musical material. A detailed and unique analysis of the opera, particularly the musical and linguistic techniques Ward employed, demonstrates how these techniques lend themselves to the operas reception as a work of American musical nationalism. The book also provides yet unpublished information on Arthur Millers play, examining how it came to be written and soon after became the basis for Wards work. Several appendixes provide a fuller picture, including a deleted scene from Millers play and Wards version of the scene, a chronological overview of the Salem Witchcraft Trials, and illustrations and photo reproductions from Wards manuscript.
