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.

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.
