Art both reflects time and shapes it. Song is the most democratic, simplest and most popular art form. It is often created almost spontaneously, instantly reacting to a particular event. In this book, the cultural, historical and political portrait of the century is shown through the history of a popular song, each of which is devoted to a separate chapter. The main ones are not necessarily the best, although these concepts often coincide. Some songs reflect the most important political events of the century - wars, revolutions, turning points in history. Others anticipate them. Some, often in addition to, or even in opposition to, the intentions of their authors, suddenly unusually accurately reflect the mood of huge masses of people and turn into the anthem of a generation. Some open up previously forbidden and even unknown layers of human existence to popular music, and through it to the mass consciousness. The songs are arranged in chronological order, and the book reflects all decades of the 20th century and all genres of popular music - from blues and spirituals to musicals and jazz, from rock to disco, from ballads to hip-hop. The “song portrait of the century” created in the book will allow the reader to see the sometimes unobvious connection between popular music and social and socio-political processes in the society of different countries throughout the 20th century.



The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.

Вражаюча подорож через музику ХХ століття!

Книга "Головні пісні ХХ століття" - це справжній скарб для всіх, хто цінує музику та її вплив на суспільство. Автор майстерно проводить читача через різні етапи музичної еволюції, від Діксиленду до хіп-хопу, показуючи, як пісні відображають дух часу і реагують на важливі події. Кожен розділ наповнений цікавими фактами, анекдотами та аналізом, що робить читання не лише пізнавальним, але й дуже захоплюючим. Особливо вражає те, як автор підкреслює роль пісень як гімнів поколінь, які втілюють надії та переживання людей. Незважаючи на деякі недоліки в перекладі, загальне враження від книги залишається позитивним. Рекомендую цю книгу всім, хто хоче зрозуміти, як музика формує наше життя і суспільство
