  • World Music Day Questions
    Musical Styles Through the 20th Century Comprehension Worksheet Swing and Big Band Swing began in the late 1920s but it was between 1935 and 1946 when big band swing music became the most popular music in America, also known as the Swing Era. A typical song played in swing style would include a strong rhythm accompanied by wind, string or brass instruments, also including vocals. A soloist would commonly take centre stage and improvise a solo with the band in the background. One of the best known big band leaders includes Glenn Miller. His famous hit ‘In the Mood’ stayed at the top of the charts for 13 weeks! There were a large number of musicians in a swing band which meant it was more expensive than a small group. By the late 1940s, this type of music was less popular, however swing music had a revival in the late 1950s and 1960s when singers, such as Frank Sinatra, sang with swing bands. In 2001, Robbie Williams recorded an album of popular swing covers. Rock and Roll Rock and roll is a popular music style which came from America during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It developed out of other African American musical styles such as boogie woogie, blues, country music and gospel music. In the early 1940s, the saxophone or piano were often the lead instrument but this was replaced with the guitar in the 50s. The classic rock and roll sound is created with one or two electric guitars, an electric bass guitar, a string bass and drums.
