	Music - MSN Encarta
		Most ancient Greek philosophers believed that listening to music based on certain of the modes in use at the time was beneficial to the development of a young person’s character, and warned that listening to music based on certain other modes would have harmful effects.
		The so-called music of the spheres was thought by Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century bc—and by later classical and medieval philosophers of the Western world—to be a perfectly harmonious music, inaudible on Earth, produced by the movement of the stars and planets.
		Music is pleasing to its loyal audiences who have learned to distinguish nuances of style and may be able to identify their favorite performers by sound.

	Rock Music - MSN Encarta
		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.
		Soon, several British groups had developed individual distinctive styles: The Beatles combined the guitar-based rock and roll of Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly with the artistry of the Tin Pan Alley style; the Animals blended blues and R&B influences; and the Rolling Stones joined aspects of Chicago blues to their intense, forceful music.
		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.

	PBS - American Roots Music : Into the Classroom - Historical Background
		Increasingly, music made by other groups of Americans such as Native Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Cajuns came under the umbrella of "folk music." It was sung in churches, on front porches, in the fields and other workplaces, while rocking children to sleep, and at parties.
		Musical cross-fertilization was also hastened by the development of communication technology such as the wax cylinder recorder, the phonograph, juke boxes, the motion picture camera and the radio, which spread regionally based music to broad audiences across the country.
		The continuing popularity of roots music throughout the course of the 20th and into the 21st centuries is testimony to its appeal and vitality as a set of musical genres that speak to - and of - the human condition, through very different historical periods.

	MRP Music Group's Latin 101
		(Cuba) Most music historians agree that the Cuban son is the backbone for contemporary salsa and was probably the most popular dance music genre to emerge from Cuba during the early 20th century.
		Music historian Vernon Boggs notes that Son possesses numerous African musical influences including syncopated rhythms and melodic line that had no connection to the underlying percussion.
		This was distinguished from guitar music intended primarily for dancing such as the Cuban son or guaracha- although in later decades, as musicians began speeding up the rhythm and dancers developed a new dance step, bachata began to be considered dance music as well.

	IS THERE MUSIC IN THE HOUSE?
		Techno music released for home listening on CD or for playing on the radio is usually a specially designed "mix" for that audience, but many people consider it inferior to techno music played "live" because it is not modified.
		As with previous music subcultures, an important issue seized upon by the media in its coverage of the House "musical movement," especially in England from 1989 on, was the usage of drugs by the participants.
		For the ravers, the music and the use of XTC are inseparable, twin boosts toward the 'evolutionary' energy of the rave.

	"Authentic" baroque music performance: comment and research
		Internal evidence of the music itself suggests that the difference between the two outer, and the middle movement was one of character not speed.
		In choral music too, balance is often inappropriate musically, when for example the choir is given prominence over the instruments, although baroque composers generally and Bach in particular wrote equally for instruments and voices, taking the musical lines freely from one to the other.
		There are also many references in baroque musical literature, both to the importance placed on warmth and vibrato in vocal performance, and to the ideal in violin playing of replicating the human voice.

		The latter group, however, seem to be a minority; most political composers feel that music should be understandable not only by musical connoisseurs, but by the working classes whose interest it represents, whereas writing music for new-music specialists and the upper class is regarded as being of little value or point.
		For music to be abstract, complex, difficult to understand—so the argument runs—supports the power structure of the bourgeoisie, since it provides a harmless distraction from the real conflicts of class oppression.
		The case of non-texted political music diffracts into a rainbow of related concepts, ranging from the denotative technique of direct quotation, to the culturally conditioned but commonsensical reading of music as Social Realism, to the more rarefied approach to musical structure as political analogy.

	Spectropop's Introduction to the Girl Group sound of the 60s
		Although the 50s had its one-hit girl groups such as the Chantels, and the Bobbettes,, the peak period of what today is called "girl group music" occurred in the pre-British Invasion 1960s and was captained by the Brill Building writers and producers.
		The groups were usually trios or quartets in which one vocalist sang a lead part while the others contributed a background vocal.
		Girl groups were a constant presence on the Billboard pop charts in 1962 to 1965, but, by 1965 the popularity of this sound was waning as it was eclipsed by other musical trends.

	From Burl To Bob
		Driven by collegiate interest in traditional American music, groups such as the Kingston Trio and the Brothers Four paved the way for the huge folk music "boom" with late '50s hit singles that sported tuneful melodies and singalong choruses.
		Meanwhile, a strong political sensibility began to emerge as well in folk music, influenced greatly by modern folk pioneer Pete Seeger and his group 1940s-founded group, the Weavers, who in turn had drawn from the musical inspiration of the great pre-World War II folk poet Woody Guthrie.
		That influence, in turn, was absorbed by Bob Dylan, who completely changed the direction of 1960s folk music from its cheerful, hootenanny approach to a rebelliously idealistic mirror of the civil rights-advocating, war-protesting social consciousness of the era.

		When people talk about salsa music, however, they are usually referring to a generic term that includes a number of distinct types of Afro-Caribbean music, although one in particular, the son guaguancó, has predominated since the 1960s.
		The king of that genre was La Orquesta Aragón (The Aragón Orchestra), a group popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, whose incomparable style of cha cha cha endeared the music to millions of Latinos across Latin America and the United States.
		Since the 1960s, this amalgamation of genres, which goes by the label "salsa" has served as the core for numerous explorations that have expanded the parameters of the music.

		Although some of the members had roots in the folk scene, and although they were lumped in with the heavier and more psychedelic bands that comprised the short-lived "Bosstown Sound," Orpheus was in fact much closer to the "sunshine pop" of the late '60s heard on AM radio.
		Despite the marketing of the Bosstown sound as a hip and album-oriented phenomenon, the group's harmonies and songwriting were in fact more similar to singles groups such as the Fifth Dimension and the Association, even with echoes of the Lettermen in places.
		There might have been some traces of folk and psychedelic music on some tracks, but the light, sometimes precious, love songs were forerunners of adult contemporary music.
