The course will offer a historical and critical analysis of the monumental contributions of The Beatles, not only to music but to Western culture as well. Almost every one of their albums broke new ground, and they demonstrated that pop/rock music was capable of incorporating numerous musical styles, harmonies and song forms. Virtually all innovations in pop/rock music from the mid-sixties to the present owe a debt to one or more of The Beatles’ albums. We will trace the development of The Beatles from their beginnings to their solo careers, looking at them from both a musical and a sociological perspective.
