20th Century Music

For many people, the 20 th century is regarded as "the century of America". This is a century and the influence of the United States will be felt on a global scale. There is no practical thing except the world of music. From jazz to rock music, America has the most influential music in the world, and of course new technologies such as records and radio are spreading. There is a geographic display of American music publisher, America, and his music can be carried anywhere.

What is the most important impact on music in the 20th century? The African American and the music culture they brought to the country - developed in the bond of slavery

Even before the beginning of the 20th century, blues music developed nationwide from the traditional African slave spirit, work phone and hymns. Among all the developing genres, blues will be the most influential one, including rock, country music, rhythm and blues, and classical music.

In other words, the influence of jazz on the music world is as important as changing. Jazz saw the early development of the southern African American community - the rhythm reflects the diversity of cultural influences from rug time to blues, West Africa to the West Indies

Like blues (blues as one of its roots), jazz also uses another form of American art - ragtime - to create that unique cut sound. There are many early critics from Henry Ford to Thomas Edison, but racial discrimination is often the voice of "immorality". But perseverance, dancing, and heartfelt voices rapidly spread American culture to every corner of the world.

That constantly changing style has become swing, soul and cool jazz. The development of American rock music in the 1950s further reflected the jazz chain effect. Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry 's artists used boogie woogie and blues and the influence of jazz music to create rock music. The popularity of rock music is spreading rapidly all over the world, and groups like the Beatles and Rolling Stones often attribute their early 20th century American music to their inspiration as blues inspiration.

Soul music grown up in rock music was also born from the African American gospel, rhythm, blues tradition. With the arrival of this century, the rhythm like the new edition and the boy band of the blues (probably the young man of the bubble stick pop band probably made for the white crowd) dominate their music and make a new jack swing I helped. The fusion of hip-hop and R & B, the new Jack Swing has laid the foundation of popular music for the next 20 years.

At the end of the century, hip hop music and culture was born. In the mid 1970's, New York's Bronx DJ separated the percussive rhythm from the song and discussed between songs and songs.

Rap music, its semi-autobiographical lyrics, and deep rhythm are another evolution of the blues tradition that began in the early 2000s, and another evolution of the music world that was created and bred in the African American community It is a big change.

We welcome these new developments. Once upon a time, there was no difference between classical music and popular music. Music only - People's music. The enthusiasm for music in the 20th century strengthened the accusation of elitism and gathered people from the concert hall. Today's audience is highly likely to stay. The public is more and more interested in what the composer is doing. Composers have something to do with their audience, and vice versa. Slowly, classical music will begin to become people's music again.

The music of the 20th century brought new freedom and extensive experimentation and new music style and form challenged the accepted rules of early music. The amplification of music and invention of electronic musical instruments, especially synthesizers, revolutionized popular music in the mid-20th century and accelerated the development of new forms of music. Classical music is a broadly inaccurate category, including music based on art, church, tradition of concerts. If the music contains the following features, it is classical music. Learning tradition, church and government support, or larger cultural capital. Classical music is also said to be complex, sustainable, transcendental, and abstract. In many cultures, classical traditions can coexist with traditional ones and popular music, and sometimes for thousands of years there is a mutual learning at a different level from the parallel tradition.
