Who had better music, the World War II Generation or the Baby Boomers? Join The History Singers for a live concert of well known songs from each generation.
Who had better music, the World War II Generation or the Baby Boomers? This seems like a fairly mellow consideration today, but once it wasn't. Join The History Singers for a live concert of well known songs from each generation.
Back in the day, people who favored one style or another were very outspoken, not only in defense of their own generation's music, but also in running down that of the other. It was a time when the generations were at odds on many topics, so the contest between the music became a symbol for what was going on in general. It was indeed an era of the Generation Gap.
But at the same time, we could almost call this program, "Bridging the Generations." We have found in working with this material that, if you get beyond the competition, the two sets of music, ironically, go very well together. The different styles and rhythms offset each other, resulting in a diverse and interesting hour of music. So music that once served as a symbol of division can now serve as a symbol of reconciliation and harmony.
