黑人音乐发展简史
在19世纪晚期,美国的黑人音乐家们开始发动音乐活动。
一首为赛马即兴创作的歌曲创造出了拉格泰姆音乐。
“听起来实在是寒酸”,一位目击者这样说,记者们将“拉格泰姆”的名称公之于众。
拉格泰姆和蓝调成为了非裔美国音乐里最显著的形式。
大概在20世纪左右,拉格泰姆音乐开始流行起来,使得音乐家比如詹姆斯和斯科特乔普林名声大震。
1910年,蓝调音乐的流行程度超过了拉格泰姆,尽管它曾经历了一段艰难的时间,并且在城市中产阶级黑人和白人群体中流行的更慢。
然而,爵士被认为不是纯黑人音乐。
尽管值得注意的是,爵士音乐发展的关键点上,非裔美国人对其革新作出了巨大贡献。
“另外,在更大程度上,爵士音乐超越了拉格泰姆和蓝调,使得黑人音乐家们赢得了非黑人群体的尊重。
”爵士被认为是一种起源于美国的艺术形式,大约在1900年发源自新奥尔良市。
它的主要特征就是极具特色的声调、切分音节奏和即兴创作。
爵士的狂热喜好者们认为它是一种被热情激发的艺术形式,一种首次在心里创建起来的模式。
