As you’ll see within the report, Come & Get It possesses many of the “hit qualities” that are indicative of today’s chart-topping songs, but it also falls short in some key areas that preclude it from realizing its fullest potential. To date Come & Get It has landed in the top 10 on 10 charts throughout the world and hit #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart. THE SONGWRITERS This wasn’t the first time that Ester Dean and Stargate have collaborated on a song. Together they’ve crafted chart-topping hits for some of today’s biggest artists including Rihanna (S&M, What’s My Name, Rude Boy) and Katy Perry (Firework), and have written hits for other A-list artists including the following: Stargate: Ne-Yo Tinie Tempah Karmin Wiz Khalifa Mary J. Blige Beyonce Flo Rida Jennifer Hudson Trey Songz Ester Dean: Britney Spears Nicki Minaj Rita Ora 50 Cent 2 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Scotty McCreery Jennifer Hudson Mary J. Blige David Guetta Tinie Tempah Nelly Additionally, if you think that Come & Get It has a distinct Rihanna vibe about it, you’re right. These writers are the Rihanna specialists. Stargate Rihanna Credits Include: Unfaithful We Ride Don’t Stop The Music Hate That I Love You Take A Bow Wait Your Turn Te Amo Only Girl (In The World) Rude Boy What’s My Name S&M Diamonds Ester Dean Rihanna Credits Include S&M What’s My Name 3 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Fading Complicated You Da One Where Have You Been Talk That Talk We All Want Love Drunk On Love Roc Me Out Farewell Fool In Love Lost In Paradise Right Now It’s been rumored that Come & Get It was originally written for Rihanna but didn’t make the final cut of her latest album, Unapologetic. As you go through the report you’ll see that this is certainly a distinct possibility. Structural Analysis Back to Top At-a-Glance Timeline (Shows when each section hits within the timeline of the song) 4 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Section Length (Length of each individual section within the song) I=Intro, V=Verse, Chr=Chorus, Turn=Turnaround, Brg=Bridge, IB=Instrumental Break Come & Get It contains 10 individual sections within its framework, all of which land in the mid to upper 0:20 range except for the intro and pre-chorus-2. Key Points Notice that all of the verse and chorus sections within the song possess uniform section lengths, landing at 0:24. This amplifies the “predictability” factor of the song (though not in a negative way), and as a result accentuates the memorability factor for the listener. The first pre-chorus and bridge are the longest sections within the song (by a hair), each landing at 0:27. The 2 shortest sections within the song are the intro (as you would typically expect) and the second pre-chorus, both of which land at 0:15. Additionally, the 0:04 “trail” refers to the cymbal trail off that occurs at the tail end of the song. 5 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com In regard to the pre-chorus, notice that this is the only section within the song that doesn’t possess uniform section length between occurrences, which is an extreme rarity when it comes to chart-topping Pop songs. We’ll explore this in detail later within the report. Top 10 Hit Pop Song Comparison Let’s now see how Come & Get It’s section length compares to the 25 songs that landed in the Billboard Pop Songs Chart top 10 during Q2-2013: Come & Get It / Top 10 Hit Pop Song Averages Intro: 0:15 / 0:14 Verse: 0:24 / 0:26 Pre-Chorus: (0:27/0:15) / 0:15 Chorus: 0:24 / 0:27 Bridge: 0:27/ 0:24 As you can see, for the most part Come & Get It is right in line with the average section lengths that defined last quarter’s top 10 hit Pop songs. The only key difference is in regard to the length of the first pre-chorus, which is almost double the average. Additionally, note that it was the longest pre-chorus length out of all of the songs that landed in the Pop Songs top 10 during the quarter. As for the second pre-chorus, note that its length is exactly the same as the average, landing at 0:15. Now, let’s see how Come & Get It’s section count compares to the 25 songs that landed in the Billboard Pop Songs Chart top 10 during Q2-2013: Come & Get It / Top 10 Hit Pop Songs Intro: 1 / 1 Verse: 2 / 2 Pre-Chorus: 2 / 2 Chorus: 4 / 3 Bridge: 1 / 1 6 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com With the exception of the chorus, Come & Get It possesses the same section count as the vast majority of top 10 hit Pop songs from Q2. The differentiating factor is that Come & Get It contains 1 additional chorus that occurs at the beginning of the song following the intro as opposed to a verse. Additionally, besides the additional chorus at the onset notice that it utilizes an A-B-A-B-C-B form (verse – chorus – verse – chorus – bridge – chorus), which is still by far the most popular structure utilized in today’s chart-topping hits. Total Section Analysis (Total time consumed by each section and its percentage of the total song) Come & Get It is comprised of 5 primary sections within its framework (i.e. all choruses, verses and pre-choruses, plus the intro and bridge), accounting for 41% of the song’s total composition all the way down to just 6%. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of time within the song was allocated to that ultra-infectious chorus, accounting for 41% of its total composition. Notice that it wasn’t its length that provided it with increased weight relative to other sections within the song, but its count (i.e. 4 occurrences vs. 2 verse and pre-chorus occurrences). It just goes to show, repeating the most infectious part of your song more than others can’t hurt, that’s for sure! 7 / 71 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today&#039;s Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com As for the other sections, the amount of time allocated to the verse was about half that of the chorus (21%), and the 2 pre-chorus occurrences followed close behind at 18% of the song’s total composition. The bridge followed at 12%, and the intro accounted for just 6% of the total song. Top 10 Hit Pop Song Comparison Now let’s now see how the sectional breakdown of Come & Get It compares to the 25 songs that landed in the Billboard Pop Songs Chart top 10 during Q2-2013: Intro Come & Get It: Comprises 6% of the total song. Q2-2013 Average: Comprises 6% of the total song. Comparison: The percentage of time allocated to Come & Get It’s intro is exactly the same as the top 10 Pop song average. Verse Come & Get It: Comprises 21% of the total song. Q2-2013 Average: Comprises 24% of the total song. Comparison: Come & Get It allocated 3% less time to the verse than the Pop song average. Pre-Chorus Come & Get It: Comprises 18% of the total song. Q2-2013 Average: Comprises 14% of the total song. Comparison: Come and Get It allocated 4% more time to the pre-chorus than the Pop song average. Chorus Come & Get It: Comprises 41% of the total song. Q2-2013 Average: Comprises 41% of the total song. Comparison: The percentage of time allocated to Come & Get It’s chorus is exactly the same as the top 10 Pop song average.

    Not Your Mother’s Library Transcript Episode 11: Mamma Mia! and More Musicals (Brief intro music) Rachel: Hello, and welcome to Not Your Mother’s Library, a readers’ advisory podcast from the Oak Creek Public Library. I’m Rachel, and once again since Melody’s departure I am without a co-host. This is where you would stick a crying-face emoji. Luckily for everyone, though, today we have a brand new guest! This is most excellent, truly, because we are going to be talking about musicals, and I do not have any sort of expertise in that area. So, to balance the episode out with a more professional perspective, I would like to welcome to the podcast Oak Creek Library’s very own Technical Services Librarian! Would you like to introduce yourself? Joanne: Hello, everyone. I am a new guest! Hooray! (laughs) Rachel: Yeah! Joanne: So, I am the Technical Services Librarian here at the Oak Creek Library. My name is Joanne. I graduated from Carroll University with a degree in music, which was super helpful for libraries. Not so much. Rachel: (laughs) Joanne: And then went to UW-Milwaukee to get my masters in library science, and I’ve been working in public libraries ever since. I’ve always had a love of music since I've been in a child. My mom is actually a church organist, and so I think that’s where I get it from. Rachel: Wow, yeah. Joanne: I used to play piano—I did about 10 years and then quit. (laughs) So, I might be able to read some sheet music but probably not very well.

    “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville

    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.

    Urban Dwellers and Neighborhood Nature: Exploring Urban Residents' Connection to Place, Community, and Environment

    URBAN DWELLERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD NATURE: EXPLORING URBAN RESIDENTS' CONNECTION TO PLACE, COMMUNITY, AND ENVIRONMENT by SARAH P. CHURCH BMUS, The University of Idaho, 1996 MUP, The University of Utah, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2013 © Sarah P. Church, 2013 Abstract Urban residents, in part due to issues of urban form and lifestyle choice, have become both physically and cognitively disconnected from the environment and natural processes – a disconnection that has contributed to decisions that have led to over consumption of natural resources and degradation of Earth. The form of the built environment has contributed to this separation, with city development embedded within infrastructures of concrete and pavement. Further, there is little attention paid to smaller scale integration of nature at the neighborhood level that might allow for frequent resident contact and activity. Today, whether in growth or decline, cities are faced with regulatory obligations and crumbling infrastructure. These issues are compounded by the pressing need to address sustainable development and resilience in the face of uncertainty around climate change and the need for reduced oil use. Incremental urban restructuring of neighborhoods through planning and designing to the specifics of local ecology (place-based design) has the potential to restore a balance between urban areas and natural systems. I therefore studied how urban residents perceive and interact with these systems in order to answer the question: How does active involvement in Portland’s Tabor to the River watershed health program foster place-based awareness and environmental learning? This dissertation is an exploratory qualitative case study undertaken in Portland, Oregon in which I conducted 42 semi-structured interviews of community members and 14 experts.
