It is, fundamentally, a ready reference guide to the broad field of popular music over the past two centuries. It has become a truism that popular music, so pervasive in the modern world, constitutes a soundtrack to our lives - a constant though changing presence as we cross thresholds and grow from children to teenagers to adults. But it has become more than a soundtrack; it has become a narrative. Not just an accompaniment to our daily lives but incorporating our lives, our sense of identity, our lived experiences, into it. We have become part of the music just as the music has become part of us. The Historical Dictionary of Popular Music contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on major figures across genres, definitions of genres, technical innovations and surveys of countries and regions.0This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about popular music. 410 0$aHistorical dictionaries of literature and the arts. 606 $aPopular music$vDictionaries 615 0$aPopular music 676 $a780 676 $a781.6403 700 $aAbjorensen$b Norman$01462721 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792829503321 996 $aHistorical dictionary of popular music$93863704 997 $aUNINA
