MU 230 History of Rock and Roll (3)
The History of Rock and Roll encompasses the powerful effect
that popular music has on culture. Since the advent of the 20th
century, popular music has become both definitive and at the
same time expressive of the social, emotional, economical,
spiritual, and political climate of people worldwide. The course
will trace the roots of popular music from the 1920s to present
day, focusing on the changes and expressions of global societies.
Though “Rock and Roll” is often seen as an American invention,
this course will dig deeply into the roots of human expression
through music worldwide. The course will transcend both
inter-continental influences and cross generational boundaries
throughout human history in the discovery of a medium that
remains core to the human experience.
