| Abstract | Rudolf Friml was skilled at evoking far-away times and places through music. Rose Marie, set in Canada, used formulaic Native American motifs in "Totem Tom Tom" and the popular "Indian Love Call." The Vagabond King and The Three Musketeers were set in France's distant past and featured emblematic marches and Viennese waltzes. Friml also composed music for films, often based on his popular musicals, as well as piano concertos, orchestral works, and piano pieces and songs. The author discusses Friml in the larger historical contexts of the American operetta, the Indianist movement, Francophilia, Orientalism, and romantic nostalgia. |
