We will not meet on Friday due to the recruitment trip I have to do for the band. With that being said, here are the notes that you need to be responsible for on Monday:
Rock n Roll
- genre of music that evolved in the United States after World War II.
- composed of blues, gospel, folk, and country music
- arrived at the time of technological change...after the development of the electric guitar, microphone, and the amplifier.
- Rockabilly- refers to the type of rock and roll music that was played and recorded in the mid-1950s by white singers such as Elvis Pressley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, who drew mainly on the country roots of music.
- American Bandstand- a term used for television show which premiered in the 1950's. It usually catered to teenagers and socially dictated everything from clothing, music, dances, and dialogue.
- Royalty Cluase (Compulsory License)-usually when a government forces the holder of a copyright, patent, or other exclusive right to grant use to state or others. This law is still in effect today.
- Covers-partial re-writes of a song. Usually done by speeding up the tempo and the backbeat. See example: (Big Mama Thorton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70b25AOZunE&feature=related) (Elvis Pressley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQyHYGUJnuc&feature=related)
- Doo Wop- one of the most popular forms of Rock n Roll. Featured multi-part vocal harmonies and meaningless vocal background lyrics. Still used in movies and musicals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bwzw9wVB10&feature=PlayList&p=E7A15F7277155D5F&index=3) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cHB3Rbz1OI)
