Ulster County Historian Geoffrey Miller presents In Search of the Hudson River School of Musicians, which focuses on the major American and foreign-born composers working in the United States in the early through mid-19th century. There was definitely a body of works produced during the period reflective of the ethos of the Hudson River School Artists (the search for the picturesque and the sublime), but it failed to coalesce into a movement because of a number of reasons which he will explore. Immigrant and native-born composers, though, did find employment throughout the region as choral directors for churches, music instructors at local academies, and band directors, leaving behind a record of their activities in sheet music, much of it published locally, with music for the church, school graduations and other public events.
