The average listener may be unaware of the many links between rock
music and the classics. One might remember a few examples, such as
Walter Murphy's chart-topping "A Fifth of Beethoven" or Eric
Carmen's "All by Myself," but pass them off as interesting
anomalies. However, the influence of the classics on rock music is
pervasive and grows from a long line of precedents. This supplement
to Janell R. Duxbury's original 1985 discography, Rockin' the
Classics and Classicizin' the Rock, brings the earlier work
up-to-date with hundreds of new entries documenting recently
released or newly discovered examples of the interconnection
between these musical genres. Duxbury details more than 300 new
examples of recorded rock instrumentals and songs that borrow
musical themes from the classics. Variations range from
contemporary renditions of complete classical works to brief
classical quotes or phrases subtly incorporated into rock
compositions. Duxbury also gives additional examples of recorded
orchestral versions of songs originally composed and/or written by
rock artists. In these examples, the musical style varies from
strict classical interpretations to pop-style orchestral
renditions. The supplement then expands Duxbury's original
compilation of sound recordings and live performances of rock
groups performing with established orchestras and choruses,
selected samples of recorded rock music that simulates baroque or
classical sound/structure, examples of the manifest influence of
rock on classical music, and instances of rock artists and
classical artists switching roles. Lastly, this discography updates
the 1985 version with new information, expanded details, and minor
corrections to theearlier work. An extended list of selected
nonrock background examples is included in several new appendixes.
The Introduction and Preface is also updated. A general index
includes the names of classical composers, rock artists and groups,
orchestras, choruses, orchestra conductors, sound recording
producers, and song or instrumental titles. With its incomparable
scope and content, this supplement, together with Duxbury's
previous discography, will be appreciated by students, researchers,
record collectors, trivia buffs, music industry employees, and fans
of rock music and the classics.
