Modern Times Music History Book

From 1900 – 2000. This is a fascinating and interesting introduction to 20th Century music.

With the background of WWI and WWII introducing Avant Garde and Neo-classical music, composers such as Bartok, Birdwhistle, Crumb, Glass and Krenek to name a few, changed the style and sound of music. The age of electric/electronic had arrived.

Jazz, Blues and Ragtime developed with the music of Joplin, Miller and Gillespie and another popular style flourished.

Vaudeville the early introduction to Musical Theatre where a wealth of ‘show’ tunes have been created. Who can forget Richard Rodgers, The Sound of Music and The King & I, Les Miserables, Claud-Michel and Schonberg – one of today’s most popular musicals.

Melodies of love “A Heart full of Love”, of war “Do you hear the people sing” will remain with us for ever.
