This document provides an overview of the origins and development of the blues musical form. It discusses how the blues evolved from a combination of African and European influences and sacred and secular folk music traditions in the late 19th century. The blues were a cultural response to the oppression African Americans faced and typically featured solo compositions using a 12-bar structure, guitar accompaniment, and lyrics drawing on personal experiences. Various folk music genres like spirituals, secular songs, work songs, and ballads contributed elements that were blended into the early blues style.
Musical theatre evolved in the early 20th century as songwriters integrated music more fully into the plot and character development. Shows like Show Boat and Oklahoma used song to advance the story and provide insight into characters. These shows addressed serious themes through music and helped establish the modern musical. Later musicals in the 1950s by Leonard Bernstein continued innovating the form by incorporating newer musical styles into shows like West Side Story. Musical theatre then became more of an elite form of entertainment as other media like films rose in popularity.
- The document discusses two styles of popular music that emerged in the 1930s: swing and sweet. Swing had a focus on rhythm and syncopation while sweet had a focus on melody.
- Big band leaders like Fletcher Henderson, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington helped define and popularize these styles. Miller in particular was able to skillfully blend swing and sweet styles.
- Jazz music of the era also incorporated elements of swing but was considered more artistic compared to the commercially focused popular music of the time. Artists like Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday helped bring jazz and blues influences into the mainstream.
The 1920s saw many changes in music and technology. Radio became more widespread, allowing people to listen to music at home. Recordings improved as electric recording provided better sound quality than previous acoustic recordings. Singers could now be heard more easily with bands thanks to microphones and amplification. Jazz music merged with popular dance styles of the time like the Charleston. Innovators like Paul Whiteman and George Gershwin helped bring jazz to wider audiences and elevate it as an art form. Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue combined elements of classical music with jazz and blues.

This document summarizes the development of rhythm and blues (R&B) and rock and roll music between 1945-1960. Key developments included the rise of R&B after World War 2 due to changing demographics and technologies like TV. Jump bands popularized R&B sounds. Artists like Elvis Presley blended influences to create rock and roll, attracting both black and white audiences. The genre was popularized through the 1950s but faced challenges in the late 1950s, while newer artists like Buddy Holly took rock in new directions and Ray Charles synthesized genres.
The modern revolution of the 1920s was similar to the British Invasion of the 1960s which brought music from outside and established it as the new mainstream. Music developed quickly during this period, with the recording becoming a total package and multi-tracking allowing for layered instrumentation. Rock music changed the relationship between composer and performer and amplification became more prominent, making horns less important. Identifiable instrumental riffs were used to catch the listener's attention before the singer entered.

3) Robert Johnson was a key figure who expanded the rhythmic and stylistic possibilities of the Delta blues tradition before his early death at age 27. His recordings had a profound influence on the development of blues music.

The tango and rumba became popular dance fads. In the 1930s-1950s, Latin music hybridized with American styles to develop a commercial Latin sound led by Xavier Cugat. The mambo emerged as a fusion of Afro-Cuban son with big band. Artists like Tito Puente and Antonio Carlos Jobim incorporated Latin rhythms into mainstream American pop music. Starting in the 1950s, genres like the bossa nova, salsa, and tejano music became part of the fabric of American popular music.
