導言
搖滾音樂,一組相關的音樂風格,一直主導著西方流行音樂,在距今約1955年。 搖滾音樂開始在美國,但它的影響,從而形成了一個廣泛的領域的文化和音樂傳統,包括福音音樂,藍調,鄉村和西方音樂,古典音樂(見音樂,西方的),民間音樂,電子音樂,流行音樂,亞洲,非洲和拉丁美洲(見 Worldbeat)。除了它的使用廣泛的指定,任期搖滾音樂的音樂風格通常是指1959年後主要由白人音樂家的影響。 其他主要Rock的音樂風格,包括搖滾(也稱為搖滾搖滾樂),第一類型的音樂,以及節奏和-藍調音樂(R&B的),主要受美國黑人音樂家(見非裔美國人音樂)。 每一個這些主要類型包括各種個子風格,如重金屬,朋克,另類,和垃圾。雖然在搖滾音樂的創新往往發生在區域中心,如紐約市;金斯敦,牙買加和利物浦,英格蘭,搖滾音樂的影響是現在覺得全世界。


音樂元素
中央樂器種類最多的是搖滾音樂的電吉他。 重要人物在歷史上該儀器包括爵士樂手查理基督徒,誰在30年代後期是一首發揮放大吉他作為獨奏樂器亞倫 Thibeaux的“T -骨”沃克,第一個記錄與藍調音樂家一個放大的吉他(1942年);利奧擋泥板,誰在1948年推出了第一個大規模生產的固體體電吉他和Les保羅,誰推廣的儀器在50年代初的一系列技術創新的紀錄。 羅克和輥吉他手查克貝瑞建立了風格演奏20世紀 50年代中後期仍然是一項很大的影響的搖滾音樂。 20世紀 60年代後期開始在新一代的搖滾吉他手,其中包括吉米亨德里克斯,埃里克克萊普頓,卡洛斯桑塔納和,嘗試用放大,反饋(A型電子聲音失真),及各種電子設備,延長儀器的音樂潛力。


其他文書中常用的搖滾音樂,包括電貝司吉他(1951年推出的擋泥板),鍵盤樂器,如電鋼琴,電子琴,合成器和以及鼓,非洲來到美國的創新,從爵士樂和搖滾樂R&B音樂。 文書中發揮重要作用,在某些搖滾音樂風格包括薩克斯管,突出的爵士樂,搖滾樂和靈魂音樂和各式各樣的傳統樂器中使用worldbeat音樂。 麥克風的作用也作為一個樂器很多搖滾歌手,誰依賴的擴增和各種效果(如迴聲)通過電子方式索取。


搖滾音樂也更複雜的技術問題股。 大多數搖滾音樂是基於相同的和聲的西方音樂,尤其是和弦稱為補藥,亞優勢,優勢(見和諧:功能和弦名稱)。 弦進展(系列和弦)被稱為 12小節布魯斯是基於這些和弦,並佔有突出地位,在某些風格,尤其是搖滾樂,靈魂樂,搖滾和南部。 其他常見的諧波設備包括使用一種無人駕駛,或腳踏點(一個攤位一個進步,通過持續的和弦),並行運動和弦,來自於一種技術稱為電吉他酒吧和音。 許多元素的美國黑人音樂一直是持續的源影響的搖滾音樂。 這些特徵包括即興表演(重複模式),backbeats(強調第二和第四拍的每項措施,見音樂節奏:脈衝儀表),呼叫和應答模式,藍色票據(使用某些彎曲冠冕堂皇的球場,特別是這些相關的第三和第五度的音階),密巴齊冠冕堂皇的音色,或音色。


音樂劇形式的搖滾音樂而變化。 搖滾樂在50年代後期倚重於 12小節布魯斯和32桿的歌曲形式。 一些搖滾樂隊 60年代後期嘗試用更加靈活,開放式的形式,和一些搖滾樂隊在70年代開發套件形式來源於古典音樂。 另一個重要的搖滾音樂形式的發展一直是所謂的概念專輯,繼承的音樂作品的捆綁在一起的鬆散的敘事主題。


許多搖滾音樂表演在高音量,所以音樂已經緊密聯繫在一起的發展,電子技術。 搖滾樂手已經率先推出新的錄音室技術,如多跟踪的一個過程,不同的歌曲錄製在不同的時間段和分層他們彼此頂部和數字採樣器,由電腦複製的模式的一個特別的聲音。 搖滾音樂會,巨大的事件通常涉及成千上萬的觀眾,往往具有很高的高科技戲劇舞台效果,包括同步的照明。


I  Introduction

Rock Music, group of related music styles that have dominated popular music in the West since about 1955. Rock music began in the United States, but it has influenced and in turn been shaped by a broad field of cultures and musical traditions, including gospel music, the blues, country-and-western music, classical music (see Music, Western), folk music, electronic music, and the popular music of Asia, Africa, and Latin America (see Worldbeat). In addition to its use as a broad designation, the term rock music commonly refers to music styles after 1959 predominantly influenced by white musicians. Other major rock-music styles include rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll), the first genre of the music; and rhythm-and-blues music (R&B), influenced mainly by black American musicians (see African American Music). Each of these major genres encompasses a variety of substyles, such as heavy metal, punk, alternative, and grunge. While innovations in rock music have often occurred in regional centers—such as New York City; Kingston, Jamaica; and Liverpool, England—the influence of rock music is now felt worldwide.



II  Musical Elements

The central musical instrument in most kinds of rock music is the electric guitar. Important figures in the history of this instrument include jazz musician Charlie Christian, who in the late 1930s was one of the first to play the amplified guitar as a solo instrument; Aaron Thibeaux “T-Bone” Walker, the first blues musician to record with an amplified guitar (1942); Leo Fender, who in 1948 introduced the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar; and Les Paul, who popularized the instrument in the early 1950s with a series of technologically innovative recordings. Rock-and-roll guitarist Chuck Berry established a style of playing in the late 1950s that remains a great influence on rock music. Beginning in the late 1960s a new generation of rock guitarists, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Carlos Santana, experimented with amplification, feedback (a type of electronic sound distortion), and various electronic devices, extending the musical potential of the instrument.

Other instruments commonly used in rock music include the electric bass guitar (introduced by Fender in 1951); keyboard instruments such as the electric piano, organ, and synthesizer; and the drum set, an African American innovation that came into rock music from jazz and R&B music. Instruments that play important roles in certain rock-music genres include the saxophone—prominent in jazz-rock and soul music—and a wide assortment of traditional instruments used in worldbeat music. The microphone also functions as a musical instrument for many rock singers, who rely upon the amplification and various effects (such as echo) obtainable through electronic means.

Rock music also shares more complex technical aspects. Most rock music is based on the same harmonies as Western music, especially the chords known as tonic, subdominant, and dominant (see Harmony: Functional Chord Names). The chord progression (series of chords) known as the 12-bar blues is based on these chords and has figured prominently in certain styles, especially rock and roll, soul music, and southern rock. Other common harmonic devices include the use of a drone, or pedal point (a single pitch sustained through a progression of chords), and the parallel movement of chords, derived from a technique on the electric guitar known as bar-chording. Many elements of African American music have been a continuing source of influence on rock music. These characteristics include riffs (repeated patterns), backbeats (emphasizing the second and fourth beats of each measure; see Musical Rhythm: Pulse and Meter), call-and-response patterns, blue notes (the use of certain bent-sounding pitches, especially those related to the third and fifth degrees of a musical scale), and dense buzzy-sounding timbres, or tone colors.

The musical form of rock music varies. Rock and roll of the late 1950s relied heavily upon 12-bar blues and 32-bar song forms. Some rock bands of the late 1960s experimented with more flexible, open-ended forms, and some rock bands of the 1970s developed suite forms derived from classical music. Another important formal development in rock music has been the so-called concept album, a succession of musical pieces tied together by a loose narrative theme.

Much rock music is performed at high volume levels, so the music has been closely tied to developments in electronic technology. Rock musicians have pioneered new studio recording techniques, such as multi-tracking—a process of recording different song segments at different times and layering them on top of one another—and digital sampling, the reproduction by a computer of the patterns of a particular sound. Rock concerts, typically huge events involving thousands of audience members, often feature high-tech theatrical stage effects, including synchronized lighting.
