       February 11, 1961 - April 19, 1961

A 12-part series produced for the National Educational Television & Radio Center by KRMA-TV, Denver Colorado.  

The Ragtime Era with host Max Morath, who at the age of 32 is the ideal spokesman. He holds forth at an elegant pianoforte, singing and playing in a lively, authentic style. He' a close student of the period when America's popular music developed, and he sparks the narrative segments with anecdote and erudition that is as bright as the music. 

What is Tin Pan Alley? When did it get its start? Max Morath answers these and other questions in the course of an amazing and amusing program devoted to the music business. In the Ragtime Era. Do you realize that “A Bicycle Built for Two” was rejected by American music publishers, and only became popular after it was printed in England?  Do you know who invented the phrase “Tin Pan Alley?” What do the names Rosenfeld, Von Tilzer, Berlin, or words like “nickelodeon,” “illustrated song,” or “coon song” mean to you? Did you know that popular music is one of the outstanding examples of the improvement in civil liberties over the past decade? Or that it was ragtime which brought everyday speech and slang into popular songs?

In this episode, Max Morath explains how Tin Pan Alley got its name; discusses the rise of the popular song in America; explains the idea of the “Illustrated Song” as an advertising technique for selling songs; discusses the dangers of stereotypes and racism in song and plays a “coon song” from the Rag Time Era; explains the meaning of copyright and gives a brief history on the invention of the gramophone.

Episodes in this series cover American pop music from the 1890's to 1920. Included are broadcasts focusing on the Blues, Ragtime, Musical Comedy, Tin Pan Alley, the Mauve Decade, Those Singin' Songs, Movie Music, the Song Pluggers, Tempos of the Time, and the songs made popular during World War 1. 

From radio to television to national fame as a performer, Max Morath became the recognized purveyor of music and popular culture of the ragtime era. That is the way most people remember Max Morath as “Mr. Ragtime.”

In 1959, his epic 12-episode TV series The Ragtime Era, was the first modern educational documentary at KRMA-TV in Denver that both entertained and informed. It ushered in a field now produced by modern documentarians like Ken Burns at Florentine Films. Max wrote, hosted, and performed each 30-minute episode live in one-take and followed that series with other TV projects.

He pioneered educational television with his producer Moss Hall and this series helped move the transition from National Educational Television (NET) to the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). 

Archival Television Audio, Inc. has preserved in its archive ten of the twelve part series. Missing is the sixth broadcast in the series,"The Yankee Doodle Boy," and the ninth broadcast in the series, "Emancipation of Women: New Music of the 20's"


With “The Ragtime Era” National Educational Television brings viewers one of the most delightful, and at the same time informative series ever produced. But “The Ragtime Era” is more than a recreation of the music from 1890 to 1920. It is also a careful study of American social history between 1890 and 1920, a period which saw the beginning of the labor movement, modern technical achievements, feminism, the growing importance of Negroes and immigrants. It was a period of activity, unrest, gaiety and real distress. And, finally, “The Ragtime Era” provides the audience with some sound and at the same time uncomplicated, musical theory and analysis. To do all of this KRMA-TV, the Denver affiliate of NET, has drawn on the services of singer-pianist-musician Max Morath, who combines with his performances of ragtime classics a presentation of the pictures, stage sets, and other paraphernalia of “The Ragtime Era.”

A 12-part series produced for the National Educational Television & Radio Center by KRMA-TV, Denver Colorado.  

The Ragtime Era with host Max Morath, who at the age of 32 is the ideal spokesman. He holds forth at an elegant pianoforte, singing and playing in a lively, authentic style. He' a close student of the period when America's popular music developed, and he sparks the narrative segments with anecdote and erudition that is as bright as the music. 

Continuing with his anecdotes and analysis of Tin Pan Alley, Mr. Morath tells about the songs which no one remembers today – how they were chosen, what made theme popular, and why they were forgotten. He tells about the song-plugger, the growth of movies and the illustrated song, the development and decline of the sheet music business, and the importance of new kinds of music and novel ideas. He also speaks about the fascinating and feverish world behind the scenes of the popular music arena of the early 1900s.

Episodes in this series cover American pop music from the 1890's to 1920. Included are broadcasts focusing on the Blues, Ragtime, Musical Comedy, Tin Pan Alley, the Mauve Decade, Those Singin' Songs, Movie Music, the Song Pluggers, Tempos of the Time, and the songs made popular during World War 1.
