Rock: The Primary Text : Developing a Musicology of Rock Paperback / softback
by Allan F. Moore
Paperback / softback
Description
This thoroughly revised second edition of Allan Moore's ground-breaking book features new sections on melody, Britpop, authenticity, intertextuality, and an extended discussion of texture.
Rock's 'primary text' - its sounds - is the focus of attention here.
Allan Moore argues for the development of a musicology particular to rock within the context of the background to the genres, the beat and rhythm and blues styles of the early 1960s, 'progressive' rock and subsequent styles.
He also explores the fundamental issue of rock as a medium for self-expression, and the relationship of this to changing musical styles.
Rock: The Primary Text remains innovative in its exploration of an aesthetics of rock.
