In 1950s and 1960s, due to the spread of Soviet music in the early days of liberation, popular music in the mainland declined gradually. At this moment. European and American pop music has a great influence on Taiwanese music. At that time, Taiwan Province Province did not have its own songs. Some popular songs, such as Autumn Water, Shangri-La and When Will You Come Again, are actually the works of Chen Dieyi and Liu Xuean who lived on the beach in their early years. Until the late 1960s, blues, jazz and other western music styles poured in. Until then, the music with the old Shanghai sentiment ended its spread in Taiwan Province Island. In the 1960s. The Beatles's performance in Hong Kong had a great influence on the music scene in Hong Kong. Some students formed a band. Try to imitate the interpretation of their idols. Sing your feelings with Beatles music. "Beatles culture" and "James Bond culture" have brought unprecedented "new sensibility" to Hong Kong society. The music scene in Hong Kong in the 1960s was basically occupied by rock music and folk songs in Europe and America. In 1960s and 1970s, European and American pop music entered a golden age. Ley, "Rolling Stone" and Dylan took turns to take the stage and sang a song "Western Society". Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music in 1970s. Not only influenced by European and American styles in music style, but also imitated European and American styles in playing style. Performers wear luxurious clothes, sing and dance, and most of their voices are original sounds. The scene was warm and the atmosphere was hot. It can be seen that European and American pop music has not only had a far-reaching impact on Li school music, but also had a wide and far-reaching impact on Hong Kong and Taiwan music.
Third, the spread of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music in the mainland.
In the late 1970s, European and American pop music merged with Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music and spread to the mainland again. 30 years later. After pop music was banished from the ocean. It's back. First, the music of Li School in 1930s, when will you come again, wine and coffee and other songs were seized. With Teresa Teng's crooning, it spread to thousands of families. So singers who sang pop songs that were expelled from the mainland became stars. Unexpectedly, Japan's Sanyo tape recorder and cassette tapes produced by Guangzhou Pacific Company have turned a single spark of pop music into a prairie fire. The rising new generation of musicians let go. Feel free to look at the music scene in Europe, America and Japan and try to absorb nutrition. They rearranged the pop music of the 1930s, connecting one end with the long-lost pop music of the early 1930s, and opening the future at the other end. Before people knew what pop music was, many of these songs were sung by Teresa Teng. Only then did I understand the knowledge of vocalization, articulation, orchestration and lyrics of pop music. __。 In Guangzhou, the famous "Old Three Musketeers" Jin, Zhu and Situ Hang were the first people to record pop music. At that time, a lot of work was the music reproduction of TV series, which needed "soundtrack", and sometimes the lyrics were translated into Chinese, and singers were needed to sing. . Stripping became an important way for early China musicians to learn pop music creation.
Fourthly, the fusion and creation of Chinese and foreign pop music.
In the 1990s, the music stage, cheerful Latin music and heavy metal music came to an end in China. Michael Jackson, celine dion, Whitney Houston and other European and American pop music have deeply touched the hearts of China audiences. Among the many singing methods of pop music, Jacky Cheung, one of the "Four Kings", is an outstanding figure with diverse singing methods. Yu Chengqing is also a genius. His works include Honest Love Song in jazz style, My Swing Most in Latin style, Time flies in blues style and My Swing Most in country style.

The revolution didn't stop at pop music.
But also for culture, art and even morality.

All the old things have been thrown away.
Young people are constantly looking for new idols to prove their worth.
In this era of drastic changes.

Renew the war in Britain
1962 the rise of the Beatles
Not only continues the charm of rock music
This also triggered the mass revolution.
The Beatles's greatest contribution is not how many records they have sold.
How big is the market to expand?
Their value lies in constant experiment and exploration.
It provides many opportunities for the development of pop music.
Influenced by the Beatles music
The pop music scene in Britain has developed rapidly.
Interestingly,
In 1950s, British pop music was deeply influenced by America.
So British pop music in the 1960s.
From the pop music represented by the Beatles
The popular blues revival movement is actually a continuation of American rock music.
It's just that Britain has a tendency to catch up.
The US market has also been affected by the rise of The Beatles.
Have to imitate or copy British artists
This is a rather ironic thing.
@ Folk Rock
When blues, pop and rock lost their dominant position one after another.
Doesn't mean that American music is not desirable.
On the contrary, the predicament of the United States at that time.
A number of anti-war folk singers were born.
Representative: Buddy Dylan, the descendant of Woody Urduli.
And Joan Baiya, who is very close to him.
Bob Dylan further invented folk rock.

Under the uprising of Babu Dylan,
Folk rock not only occupies an irreplaceable position in the music industry.
It is also because of the investment of more artists.
Such as: mamas & amp； Pappas, Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon and Gryffindor, etc.
Let folk songs go further and become the mainstream of the popular market.
This is also the peak moment of American folk rock.
In response to this wave of folk songs in the United States,
Also appeared, for example, Donovan called American Babu Dylan.
Or people or bands like the Fairport Conference.
But look at the British folk customs,
Rock is more important than folk songs!
@ British invasion
Except the Beatles who were reborn from American rock music in the 1950s.
Another Rolling Stones choir, adhering to the rock spirit of the 1950s, is brand-new.
After the Beatles
Become an important role in the world pop music stage.

In the same year, JIMI· Hendrix also died of an overdose.
The following year, jim morrison also gave his life.
Plus the Beatles announced their dissolution at the beginning of July1.
Simon and Gryffindor, the greatest duets of all time, also broke up.
Therefore, some people call the transition period from 1960s to 1970s the dark age of pop music.
Fortunately, artists and choirs rose one after another in the late 1960s.
Soon stabilized the situation.
These orchestras are developing very rapidly.

Creators, artists and consumers seem to be more pragmatic than in the 1960s.
But its strong sense of musical mission has gradually disappeared.
Pop music has returned to the essence of business.
Even the most uncompromising rock music ever.
It also turned to commerce under the demand of the market.
But there are also bands that H insists on the spirit of rock music.
For example, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER RIVIVAL.
They made great achievements in the singles competition.
But it only survived for three years, and then disappeared.
On the British side
Some progressive rock bands in the 1960s.
Also successfully entered the seventies.
And gradually become a force.
However, this power is too self-expanding.
And deviated from the original spirit.
A subject that is too long and abstruse.
Show off playing skills

And the rise of gorgeous rock led by David Bowie.
David Bowie was deeply influenced by the underground velvet of decadent groups.
Started performing with gorgeous stage costumes.
Many people are influenced by him, such as the queen of England.
ROXY MUSIC, the originator of decadent music, the rock group SLADE and KISS.
More or less inherited many styles of David Bowie.
People call this kind of rock "gorgeous rock"
Between super band and gorgeous rock.
There is another force.

the seventies
There is another thing worthy of attention in European and American pop music circles.
That is, European and American artists and orchestras are gradually emerging on the world stage.

There are some fans all over the world.
Their rock love songs

Generally speaking; Generally speaking; Basically
The first five years of the 1970s were more commercialized.

Go your own way again
Adhering to the spirit of underground music in the sixties and seventies.
And the indie rock spirit in the early 1980s.
Call yourself another option.
Alternative music was born.
During the 200 years from the end of 18 to the turn of the century, American pop songs experienced the process of learning from, translating and imitating European songs, gradually exploring and developing various musical factors of different ethnic groups in their own countries, and creating their own songs with American characteristics.
Songs against colonial rule1In the second half of the 8th century, under colonial rule, the American people expressed their resistance and struggle through songs. 1775- 1783 during the war of independence and some time after the war, there were many popular songs, including Yankee Dodd (using the tune of the British song of the same name), Chester, Adams and Freedom (using the tune of Anakerian, this song was written in1865438. Most of these songs are in English, with traces of religious hymns, because at that time, American music life was still dominated by church music, and secular music was just budding.
Exotic Songs Early American pop songs came from songs and opera tunes from Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Italy. /kloc-end of 0/8. /kloc-Irish and Scottish songs began to be popular in the United States at the beginning of the 0/9th century, among which the popular songs were "Good Old Times". These songs have local flavor and are loved by the American people. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, German-Austrian songs were also very popular in America. For example, many songs by F Schubert, F W Abt and Cook have been translated into English and published as songs. 19 In the 1920s and 40s, songs with European opera tunes and English lyrics were very popular in the United States, or opera tunes created by British composers in Italian opera style.
Bards' songs are the earliest songs that show American characteristics. It is a musical performance form created by white people for white people to enjoy and entertain, and originated in the northern and midwest of the United States. In the years of the19th century, the British actor C. Matthews consciously comedized the pinyin and rhythm of the black language, and performed with simple musical melodies, which was warmly welcomed. Many American actors, such as G.W. Dixon, G.Nichols and J.W. sweeney Wei Farrell, followed Matthews' performance and became the most famous pop song writers and performers at that time. /kloc-In the second half of the 20th century, bard's songs developed greatly, and many performing groups appeared. Its performers are all white, and the music materials used are from Angelo, pop tunes, Italian operas or tunes derived from them. According to research, American music before the Civil War was rarely associated with black music.
Songs during the anti-slavery and civil war1In the second half of the 9th century, during the American anti-slavery struggle and the civil war, some songs reflecting the miserable life of slaves and their struggle for liberation were produced. The Civil War is a national war with great influence in American history. Among the literary and artistic works at that time and later, songs were the most. These songs not only keep in touch with European music such as Britain and Ireland in music, but also have obvious connection with black songs such as black soul songs in tone, which obviously shows American characteristics.
The songs written by Foster and other composers in the19th century were composed by F. Hopkinson, B. Karl, J. Hewitt, O. Shaw, H. Russell, Hutchinson family and S.C. Foster. Hopkinson (1737. 179 1) is an American 1 songwriter. Xiao (1779— 1848) is an American-born songwriter of/kloc-0.

His masterpieces, Relatives in My Hometown, Hometown in Kentucky, Good Night, and Master's Rest in the Underground, have all become world famous songs.
65438+ Workers' Songs At the end of 2009 and the beginning of the 20th century, with the rise of the workers' movement, some workers' songs reflecting their struggle life spread among American workers. Such as john henry, the eight-hour working day and the Red Flag. For example, in the 1920s and 1930s, the workers' movement rose again, and American workers' songs developed again, such as "Sacco's Letter to His Son" and "Which side are you on? "We are determined not to waver" and so on.
