  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.

  • 6. to Everything There Is a Season During the Second World War
    6. To Everything There Is A Season During the Second World War Winston Churchill had provided, for the majority of people in the UK, a focal point of apparent strength and resilience. However, Churchill, a Conservative politician, was “... the progeny of high aristocracy” 1 and by the 1960’s he had become one of the most potent symbols of British traditionalism. His death, aged 90, on the morning of Sunday 24 January 1965, provoked massive national mourning, and whilst it would be a gross exaggeration to suggest that the cultural changes that were to follow were a consequence of one event, it cannot be denied that Churchill’s passing was a potent piece of symbolism - “off with the old and (right) on with the new”. “What was being commemorated wasn’t merely the death of one man. ...people were right to talk about the end of an era.”2 “... 1965, the year the old Britain died and the new Britain was born. ... 1965 planted bomb after bomb under the hidebound, stick-in-the-mud, living-on-past-glories Britain that preceded it...” 3 Speaking about the whole ‘sixties scene’, Deborah Beetham remembers: “It was new and it gave us something that they [parents] knew nothing about. “[It was all about] escaping and it wasn’t just the music [but also other things like] theatre; for example, John Osborne’s ‘Look Back In anger’”. Deborah’s parents had moved to London from Lancashire which she imagines would in itself have been quite a shift in culture and environment, without taking into account all the other changes brought on during the sixties.
