When Music Mattered
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-96693-5 (ISBN)
This book examines the American Sixties, and how that period's socio-political essence was reflected and refracted in certain forms of the period's music. Its five main chapters bear the names of familiar musical categories: 'Folk,' 'Rock,' 'Jazz,' 'Avant-Garde,' 'Classical.' But the book's real subject matter-treated at length in the Prologue and the Epilogue but spread throughout all that comes between-is the Sixties' tangled mess of hopes and frustrations, of hungers as much for self-identity as for self-indulgence, of crises of conscience that bothered Americans of almost all ages and regardless of political persuasion.
lt;p>James Wierzbicki lives in the Australian town of Coober Pedy. For twenty year, he was the classical music critic for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and other American newspapers, and for another twenty years a professor at the University of California-Irvine, the University of Michigan, and the University of Sydney.
Chapter 1: Prologue: The Sixties.- Chapter 2: Folk.- Chapter 3: Rock.- Chapter 4: Jazz.- Chapter 5: Avant-Garde.- Chapter 6: Classical.- Chapter 7: Epilogue: Aftermath.
