This course will present a chronological take on the Beatles as musical creators and as a cultural phenomenon. While listening to Beatles music in detail, this course places John, Paul, Ringo, and George in various streams of musical, geographic, and social history. Co-taught by a musicologist and an historian, the themes to be explored range from 1950s British class structure to studio techniques. Through it all, the British Invasion is situated within the larger postwar movements of people and sounds. Were the Fab Four exceptional individuals who reworked popular music history by the power of their own wills and talent? Or were they more like surfers, riding the waves of history?
