Highlights of 20th Century Music 1899 - 1972 by Justin Bouchard


A 31-part, 47-hour documentary series on the evolution of recorded popular music in the 20th Century, from the dawn of the ragtime era in 1899 (when sound recordings were a new commodity and sheet music outsold records for home piano consumption) to the start of 1972 (when recordings totaled more than two billion dollars in sales during that year). Was produced in the state of Hawaii as a free educational public service. Feel free to download and/or burn to DVDs and please utilize this for classrooms and educational teaching material. Featuring three bonus segments totaling 4 hours that did not fit into the chronology of the original program but are nevertheless integral to the history of 20th Century recorded music.
