Professor Chris Reali of Ramapo College will provide a chronological introductory examination of rock 'n roll, broadly conceived, within its historical and cultural contexts. Each class - 10/4, 11/1 and 12/6 - will analyze the sociocultural, political, economic, and technological forces that have shaped the development of rock 'n roll, with particular attention to examples from the United States and a few from "across the pond." The three classes survey numerous musical styles including blues, rhythm and blues, country, pop, folk, progressive rock, heavy metal, disco, rap, punk and “alternative” rock. Register once to attend all three sessions; attendance at all sessions is encouraged.
