How is Pink Floyd differentiated from The Rolling Stones? Why is Jimi Hendrix considered as an immensely influential rock guitarist? What is the role of the social and political aspects in the San Francisco Hippies movement and the emergence of psychedelic rock? These are questions that can entail intriguing answers. The consideration of multiple narratives - style and stylistic influence, the social, political, and economic axes, etc. - against the musical timeline is essential to the thorough understanding and appraisal of the history of rock music. This is the approach I follow for the last 6 years in my university courses. It has proven very successful, and I see no reason not to apply it here as well! In this course we will survey the history of rock music, from its roots (the blues) to the exciting rock genres of the 1960s, with a focus on: the various rock genres, sub-genres and stylesthe artists that played a role in the arrival and evolution of rock musicthe stylistic and other characteristics of each rock genre and sub-genre and the relationship between themthe role of the economic, political, and social parameters in the shaping of rock musicThe course is arranged in 11 sections as follows: Introduction & Overview Appraising a subject historicallyPreliminary technical information - addressing essential musical parameters such as melody, harmony, rhythm, genre. form, and styleThe BluesCountry (Delta) bluesCity (electric) bluesCountry & Western MusicC & W sub-genres (i. e., bluegrass and 'honky-tonk') and their impact on the 1950s rock & roll Rock & RollMainstream 1950s rock (Rock & Roll) Rockabilly1950s popBlues-Based RockLondon in the early 1960s - fascination with the Blues and the creation of blues-based rockThe transformation of the blues into rockThe guitarist as a rock heroThe BeatlesThe role of the Fabulous Four in the formation of rock music in the 1960sThe 'British Invasion'Folk Rock'Purity' and sensitivity - music as reflection of social idealsIntegration of the sensitivity of rock music with the energy and drive of a rhythm section comprised of electric instrumentsSurf RockSurf rock within the context of the surf culture in California during the early1960s Psychedelic Rock - The San Francisco & the Hippies MovementSan Francisco and the Hippies MovementThe social and political context in the 1960s and its affect on rock musicWoodstock Music FestivalA Quest for Sophistication - Art RockInfusing rock music with Western-European musical featuresElectronically generated sounds; musical complexityConclusionWrapping up the courseReferences to resources for further study
