2:00 PM. The Sunday Feature

Music and Fashion
Five programmes by Andrew Ford
(4) The Colour of Money
Sound recordings, radio and television have completely changed the way we hear music. They've also affected our responses. For one thing, fashions move in and out of our lives faster than ever before. An instant hit in January is seldom a hit in June. In the 1940s, classical music was part of mainstream radio. The expression 'popular classics' wasn't an oxymoron. But as commercial music became multinational, not only classical music but also jazz lost its popularity. Could we possibly be witnessing the death throes of certain types of music, simply because powerful corporations have convinced us they are unfashionable? (ABC)
