Class #11360 - The History and Development of Rock and RollWednesday 2-4 pm Domine Room: MUS 3401
A uniquely American style of popular music as it evolved beginning in the 1950's through its culmination and retrospective developmental episodes in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. For the purposes of this class, Rock and Roll is defined as the musical expression of adolescent rebellion. Combining a myriad of elemental influences taken from earlier styles such as rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, folk, classical and other genres, Rock and Roll emerges from a tumultuous confluence of musical streams that is brought into focus by the listening habits of an audience of teenagers whose demographic constituent parts and musical tastes define the repertoire. As time goes on, the audience grows older but the emphasis on youthful predilections remains as an essential element at the aesthetic core of Rock and Roll.
