Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.This book examines the American Sixties, and how that period's socio-political essence was reflected and refracted in certain forms of the period's music. Its five main chapters bear the names of familiar musical categories: 'Folk,' 'Rock,' 'Jazz,' 'Avant-Garde,' 'Classical.' But the book's real subject matter--treated at length in the Prologue and the Epilogue but spread throughout all that comes between--is the Sixties' tangled mess of hopes and frustrations, of hungers as much for self-identity as for self-indulgence, of crises of conscience that bothered Americans of almost all ages and regardless of political persuasion.Chapter 1: Prologue: The Sixties -- Chapter 2: Folk -- Chapter 3: Rock -- Chapter 4: Jazz -- Chapter 5: Avant-Garde -- Chapter 6: Classical -- Chapter 7: Epilogue: Aftermath.Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 6, 2022).
