Please pick one of the following questions and wirte an essay of 2000-2500 words. Deadline is the 21st of January, 9am. 1. What is mean by 'influence' in the field of popular music? Is it possible to apply theories of influence drawn from literary criticism, or is popular music a very different case? To illustrate your arguments, review the work of one songwriter who in your opinion has exerted a particular influence on the genre, and give detailed examples from selected songs. 2. What are the problems inherent in constructing a history of popular music since 1960? Provide specific examples to support your argument. In exemplifying your argument you are advised to focus on one specific genre (eg delta blues, trip-hop, the Manchester scene). 3. Is it legitimate to speak of a 'canon' of popular music analogous to that of Western art music? 4. Is the analysis of popular music a legitimate academic discipline? Discuss some Methodologies appropriate to popular music analysis, and outline the main differences between these and the methodologies employed in 'classical' music analysis. |
