Fashion Victim


While his and similar works of the so-called Indianist movement in American music were popular in the early 20th century, they have since fallen out of favor.  – adapted from Wikipedia


Charles Wakefield Cadman was famous, it seems,

Because he used Native American themes,


And thus it’s ironic that this very choice,

With changes of fashion has silenced his voice.
