It did not take long for jazz and country music to fuse in post war America into a new style - rockabilly. Several classically trained musicians I am aquainted with are impressed with the creative ground rock music has broken in this century. This is a great loss, and many attendees at such concerts get up and walk out, profoundly disturbed. The only bright spot on the present classical music scene is the Walt Disney Company, which has written many orchestral scores for their movies that are notable. Rock music, on the other hand, retains traditional musical scales and harmonies, and therefore can justly lay claim to being the most logical extension of the romantic era in classical music from the last century.
Music reflects the society in which it is written.
No, I am not going to write about the desperate spiritual condition of the world and how rock music reflects its degenerate nature - as some of these essays do. Instead, I am speaking about the industrial society we live in. The enhanced percussion in rock music reflects the pounding of the jackhammer, the throbbing of the bass reflects the rhythmic throbbing of the wheel on the road, etc. As the industrial age gives way to the information age, I am very anxious to see the new types of music that this revolution will give way to. Many stories were shared about the early days of the church.
