The course emphasizes and explores: the absorption of black music and culture into the conservative white lifestyle of the 1950’s; the adoption of rock music as a signature expression of the “baby-boom” culture of the 1960’s; the diffusion of the rock music of the 1970’s into diverse styles, including progressive rock; and the incorporation of characteristics of European classical music.
