• Resumen

  • Although songs include music, no previous criticism of one popular song yields an understanding of its music's rhetorical power. An analysis of “Dixie” demonstrates how the song had instant and lasting impact in bolstering secessional and regional desire because of its music as much as its original lyrics. Finally, the essay briefly explores the promise of rhetorical criticism of the music in popular song.
