This book seeks to trace the rise of popular music, identify its
key figures and track the origins and development of its multiple genres
and styles, all the while seeking to establish historical context. It
is, fundamentally, a ready reference guide to the broad field of popular
music over the past two centuries. It has become a truism that popular
music, so pervasive in the modern world, constitutes a soundtrack to our
lives – a constant though changing presence as we cross thresholds and
grow from children to teenagers to adults. But it has become more than a
soundtrack; it has become a narrative. Not just an accompaniment to our
daily lives but incorporating our lives, our sense of identity, our
lived experiences, into it. We have become part of the music just as the
music has become part of us.
The Historical Dictionary of
Popular Music contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000
cross-referenced entries on major figures across genres, definitions of
genres, technical innovations and surveys of countries and regions. This
book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about popular music.
