No Customer Reviews
20th Century Music is a time capsule of music history for every decade from the start of the 1900s through the 1990s. This exciting series presents composers, musicians, and performers, along with their musical styles and movements, as they relate to the world events, people, politics, social changes, and technology of each era. Dynamic text, colorful images, and a convenient time line capture the tremendous talent and the colossal changes in every area of music from classical to rap.In the 1940s, World War II and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused the greatest destruction humankind has ever known. Even the peace that followed included constant tension between two nuclear superpowers, and the music of the time was just as unsettled. The range of music stretched from the show tunes of the Broadway stage to the rhythms of rock 'n' roll.
