In Reply to: RE: How the HELL did the Beatles save the World from Atonal Music and rescue Classical music? posted by oldmkvi on March 17, 2016 at 18:32:55
Well, "saved the world from atonal music" might be something of an over-statement.But something curious did happen. One thing that the Beatles did introduce to the pop scene (at least during their early years) was a musical style that somehow hearkened back to 17th - 19th century English lyric poetry and songwriting. Althoug this time around, the lyric style music was imbued with a BEAT. So to speak...
More so than most pop bands of the ear, the music of the Beatles contained elements of a very well-established poetic signature - and one might say that this signature had something to do with the old "tonality" or personality of the classical phase of European culture.
