This topic is, of course, Rock Music. During one week, I looked for
information in the library and at my house, and from the information I
gathered and my one knowledge about the topic, Im going to lead the reader
to a better understanding of Rock n Roll. I chose to do Rock music because
I can identify myself with it. Rock music is very complex. In fact "Its
stylistic scope is to broad to be encompassed by any single definition"
("Rock Music", Groliers, p. ... The nearest definition suggests a kind of
music that represents and speaks for the teenage society. This music is
characterized by using a heavy beat. In this essay, Im going to divide
Rock music into four sections: Rock of the 50s, of the 60s, of the 70s
and of the 80s. Within these sections Im also going to discuss several
sub-topics such as famous composers and groups, and characteristics of the
music.
The first section of this essay is Rock n Roll of the 1950s, when Rock n
Roll was born. It emerged from rhythm and blues, a music similar to jazz
played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white teenagers.
Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and later gave
it the name of Rock n Roll. ... Whites were frustrated because there werent
any white artists and they didnt want the blacks to be the stars until
Bill Haley appeared with his "Rock Around the Clock".
