This should include the year the group/artist began recording, a list of and year of recordings, billboard chart positions, and any awards, Grammys, etc. www.allmusic.com is a great source for biographical information. Section 1 You will need to include all of the specifics of the recording, record label, producer(s), year, and dates of recording. Listen to the album several times as if you were a record critic and write an overview of the album, i.e. style of music, mood, highlights, lowlights, etc. Here are some things to consider: Is there a unifying theme throughout the album? Are there contrasting themes? If so, what are they? Is there enough variety musically in your opinion? What is it about this album in particular that makes it stand out? Section 2 Pick four songs and discuss them in more detail. Discuss your likes and dislikes as we have in relation to the journal entries in class but you will need to go into more detail.

  • The Beatles, Instrumentals En Fora Mei 2009
    L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 The Beatles, Instrumentals en Fora L.M. van der Schoot Studentnummer: 0456659. Begeleiding: Joke Dame Cursusnaam: MA Thesis Muziekwetenschap. Cursuscode: 200501202. Universiteit Utrecht; Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen; opleiding Muziekwetenschap. Datum: mei 2009. 1 Lotte van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en Google Maart 2009 “Anyone tackling the oft-told tale of John, Paul, George and Ringo had better come up with a new angle, or new facts, or new interviews, or new something - or risk suffering the wrath of zillions of Beatles nuts.” Kirkus Reviews 2007, Academic Search Elite 2 L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 Woord vooraf Aan het begin van collegejaar 2008/2009 heb ik een cursus popmuziek gevolgd. Deze cursus had als onderwerp 'the popular instrumental'. Uit onderzoek voor deze paper kwam naar voren dat de bekendste popgroep aller tijden - The Beatles - ook instrumentale songs hebben geschreven. Mijn interesse was gewekt, te meer omdat ik de Beatles voornamelijk kende van nummers zoals 'Hey Jude', 'Yesterday' en 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Deze fameuze popgroep heeft dus eveneens andersoortige nummers geschreven. In deze thesis wil ik geen 'herziene' versie maken van informatie die al tot in den treuren is uitgeplozen. Dit is echter niet eenvoudig, maar 'instrumentale nummers' is één van de onderwerpen die als onderwerp op zichzelf, nooit onderzocht is. In de hoogtij dagen van The Beatles – de jaren 1960 – zijn er maar op 3 albums instrumentals terug te vinden. De bekendste is waarschijnlijk 'Revolution 9' van de White Album (1968). Verder staat op het album Magical Mystery Tour (1967) het nummer 'Flying'.

    1 All Love Show 2016 1 2 9AM The Beatles - It’s Only Love- Help! / INTRO : THE WORD (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in six takes on June 15, 1965. The first Beatles song to include a reference to getting “high” (“I get high when I see you go by”). The working title prior to lyrics being written was “That’s a Nice Hat.” George Martin and his Orchestra recorded the instrumental version of “It’s Only Love” using the original title. In 1972 Lennon called “It’s Only Love” “the one song I really hate of mine.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP 2 3 The Beatles - Love Me Do – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ first single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Released October 5, 1962, it reached #17 on the British charts. Principally written by Paul McCartney in 1958 and 1959. Recorded with three different drummers: Pete Best (June 6, 1962, EMI audition), Ringo Starr (September 4, 1962), and Andy White (September 11, 1962 with Ringo playing tambourine). The 45 rpm single lists the songwriters as Lennon-McCartney. One of several Beatles songs Paul McCartney owns with Yoko Ono. Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963, Lennon and McCartney’s output was attached to their Northern Songs publishing company. Because their first single was released before John and Paul had contracted with a music publisher, EMI assigned it to their own, a company called Ardmore and Beechwood, which took the two songs “Love Me Do” and “P.S.
