MUSC 225 The Beatles and Musical Culture of the 1960s (3)The music of The Beatles has maintained its vitality and significance for more than fifty years, through profound changes of styles, fashions, and generations. Why do their songs remain popular? What makes them significant, and how have their meanings changed over time? How does their music relate to the broader musical and artistic developments of the 1960s? This course examines the phenomenon of The Beatles from multiple perspectives: their early influences, the development of their style from album to album, their complex and often provocative engagement with the cultures of the United States and Britain during the 1960s, and the songs themselves as distinctive acts of artistic expression.
