	MSN Encarta - Rock Music
		Rock music began in the United States, but it has influenced and in turn been shaped by a broad field of cultures and musical traditions, including gospel music, the blues, country-and-western music, classical music (see Music, Western), folk music, electronic music, and the popular music of Asia, Africa, and Latin America (see Worldbeat).
		Rock and roll was a combination of the R&B (rhythm-and-blues music) style known as jump blues, the gospel-influenced vocal-group style known as doo wop, the piano-blues style known as boogie-woogie (or barrelhouse), and the country-music style known as honky tonk.
		Another important center of rock music in the 1960s was Los Angeles, where film student Jim Morrison formed the group the Doors and guitarist and composer Frank Zappa developed a unique blend of risqué humor and complex jazz-influenced compositional forms with his group the Mothers of Invention.

	Pope Pius XII 25 December 1955 Sacred Music
		It does this by the use of musical modes that are simple and plain, but which are still composed with such sublime and holy art that they move everyone to sincere admiration and constitute an almost inexhaustible source from which musicians and composers draw new melodies.
		Among the musical instruments that have a place in church the organ rightly holds the principal position, since it is especially fitted for the sacred chants and sacred rites.
		Among these the violin and other musical instruments that use the bow are outstanding because, when they are played by themselves or with other stringed instruments or with the organ, they express the joyous and sad sentiments of the soul with an indescribable power.

	Pope Pius XII 25 December 1955 Sacred Music
		On this score sacred music obeys laws and rules which are no different from those prescribed for all religious art and, indeed, for art in general.
		Since, as We have just shown, the dignity and effectiveness of sacred music and religious chant are so great, it is very necessary that all of their parts should be diligently and carefully arranged to produce their salutary results in a fitting manner.
		For as all of these display in their liturgical ceremonies and formulas of prayer the marvelous abundance of the Church, they also, in their various liturgical chants, preserve treasures which must be guarded and defended to prevent not only their complete disappearance, but also any partial loss or distortion.

	The music matters. An analysis of early rock and roll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The music of early rock and roll is almost formula employing familiar structures across all five years, yet these similar structures create familiarity rather than tedium.
		Although the early musical patterns were often similar, the sound of the songs was not.
		Early rock and roll was popular because it was music to rebel by, it was full of teenage angst, and because Elvis shook like none before, but early rock and roll was also popular because the music was, in terms of its structure, safe.

	Sir Arthur Sullivan: The Tempest, etc. (F. Charles Adler, 1956)
		Sullivan's incidental music to The Tempest, written towards the end of his Leipzig conservatory days, was the work that first caught the attention of London's musical cognoscenti and propelled the young composer into the public spotlight that he would hold for the next forty years.
		The musical language is a combination of the best of both, and little Arthur learned his lessons well.
		The recording also includes three numbers from Sullivan's Henry VII incidental music, which the sleeve note annotator believes are on a far lower plane than that of The Tempest.
