Chapter 4: Influences do Blues in Rock, Jazz and Pop.
The influences of Blues in
Pop
A "pop
song" is first recorded as being used in 1926, to a piece of music
"having popular appeal" like the Blues. Hatch and Mill ward indicate
that many events in the history of recording in the 1920s can be seen as the
birth of the modern pop music industry, including country, blues and country
music.
The main
medium of pop music is usually between two and half and three and a half
minutes in length, generally marked by a consistent and noticeable rhythmic
element, a mainstream style and a simple traditional structure. Common variants
include the verse-chorus form and the 32-bar form, with a focus on catchy
melodies and hooks, and a chorus that contrasts melodically, rhythmically and
harmonically with the verse. The beat and the melodies tend to be simple, with
limited harmonic accompaniment. The lyrics of modern pop songs typically focus
on simple themes - often love and romantic relationships -. Although there are
notable exceptions
Harmony in
pop music is often "that of classical European tonality, only more
simple-minded." Clichés include the barbershop harmony (I e moving from a
secondary dominant harmony to a dominant harmony, and then to the tonic) and
blues scale influence of harmony. "The influence of the circle of fifths
paradigm has declined since the mid-1950s. Harmonic languages of rock and soul
have moved away from comprehensive influence of the dominant function.... There
are other tendencies (perhaps also traceable to the use of a guitar as
composing instrument) - pedal-point harmonies, root motion by diatonic step,
modal harmonic and melodic organization - that point away from functional
tonality and a tonal sense that is less directional, more free-floating. "
O Blues esta presente em todos os gêneros e estilos de musica.
É incrível
o jeito que o Blues influencio este três gêneros . Não da pra
imaginar o Rock sem a idéia de protesto que o Blues passa para nos. O Pop sem a melodia e o amor do Blues. E
principalmente o jazz que foi o mais influenciado, forma de escrita da letra
até a questão do racismo. Foi uma
surpresa para mim saber que o Blues deu origem a todos estes gêneros.
