  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • General Meeting 2018
    GENERAL MEETING 2018 January 2018: TONY HORTON – THE REAL GLENN MILLER STORY Once again we enjoyed a session with Tony, this time on a perennial favourite, the Big Band leader, Glenn Miller. Tony dispelled some of the myths about Glenn that were put into the 1954 hit film “The Glenn Miller Story”, starring James Stewart and June Allyson. The film was principally about the courtship and marriage of Glenn and Helen Miller. The facts we heard were that Miller was born in Iowa in 1904, the son of a railway worker father and farmer mother. He earned pocket money from milking cows and firstly spent some on a mandolin, before giving it up for a trombone. He formed a small band from class mates and at university ended up going on gigs, rather than attending to his studies and exams. Whilst a very good trombone player, he was not outstanding, but his forte was making musical arrangements and was in demand for this particular skill. Joining Ben Pollacks Band, which included other musicians who went on to make their mark in the music industry, Miller eventually moved to New York, where, driven by his wife Helen, he formed a jazz band, without any success. Miller played as a jobbing trombonist for several bands before teaming up with the British Dance Band leader, Ray Noble. Because of the Union restrictions on entertainers in America and Britain, Noble was not permitted to take his own musicians, so engaged Miller to recruit musicians for him. However, there was a big difference between the two men as Miller preferred jazz music and his arrangements were in that genre, whereas Noble was a ballad man, so this difference led to a parting of the ways.
