Rhythmix’s first-ever music history course will focus on the phenomenon of the Beatles. Their songs will be studied, with analysis of the musical and lyrical content, as well as structural elements. What musical styles do the songs address? What were their musical influences? In what ways did their music change over the years? Why were the Beatles so popular and influential? What exactly caused Beatlemania? How did the group form, grow and end? Where do their public images and personal lives fit in? The Beatles are the most famous rock group in history; the reasons for this are cultural as well as musical, and we will study the two elements simultaneously.
There are no required readings for the course, but a suggested reading list will be given out at the first class. Students can prepare by downloading all tracks from the five albums covered in the course and listening to them before each class.
