The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth, and there are celebrations worldwide. This colossus of music took the aural world that he was born into, mastered it, and then shouted, "OK, everyone, follow me!" and led the way to a new era.
When musicologists refer to the "Three Bs of Music," they generally mean Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. ,But that list presumes we're limiting ourselves to the classical world. ,If we shed that shackle and widen our horizons, another indisputable "B" must be The Beatles. The Beatles did for pop music what Beethoven did for the classical world: mastered what came before them and then took us all in a new direction. In this class, we'll explore some of the innovations that qualifies them for this lofty list. Lyrics, instrumentation, studio techniques (and more) will all be discussed.
Stop by the patio of the Library for a "photo-op" with Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin! Show us your costume and get a bag of goodies. Please remember your masks and social distancing. Please: ages 2-5 only.
