Our Similarities ••• Outweigh Our Differences Our similarities ••• outweigh our differences. Diversity defines this nation. But our strength lies in both our differences and similarities. Most Americans, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, value hard work and achievement. These similarities are the keys to building a united community and a truly united nation.

  • 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.

    How an encounter that never happened might have helped to change history if it had By Shawn Poole Ever since he was a child, Bruce Springsteen has been strongly influenced by the artistry of Elvis Presley. Over the years, the “E Street”/”Elvis” connection has remained strong. Most recently, Springsteen participated along with E Street Band members Nils Lofgren and Patti Scialfa in the Elvis: Viva Las Vegas television special (now on DVD in the U.S., where it hit #1 on the Billboard DVD sales chart), and its accompanying soundtrack album. E Streeters Garry Tallent and Max Weinberg also were on hand at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to induct Elvis’ original drummer and bassist, D.J. Fontana and the late Bill Black. Presley was only forty-two years old when his life tragically ended. “They found him slumped up against the drain,” Bruce Springsteen would later sing of his fallen idol, “with a whole lot of trouble running through his veins; Bye-bye, Johnny; Johnny, bye-bye; You didn’t have to die; you didn’t have to die.” While Elvis’ premature decline and death did absolutely nothing to stop his immense cultural influence, it did rob the world of many more years of music from this great artist. It also ensured that Bruce Springsteen would never get another chance to meet the man who initially inspired his own musical career. (He had two chances: one famous unofficial chance when he jumped the wall at Graceland in 1976 and one not-as-famous in 1977 when local concert promoters offered Springsteen an official chance to meet Elvis backstage before his final Philadelphia concert.) But what if Bruce had gotten to meet Elvis before August 16, 1977? Might things have turned out any differently for either or both of them, as well as the many other lives they affected? In this work of speculative fiction, Shawn Poole ponders the possibilities, poignantly reminding us of the promise and potential that tragically disappeared in that long ago summer.

  • GIMNAZIJA ŠKOFJA LOKA Elvis Presley Kralj Rock' N'rolla
    GIMNAZIJA ŠKOFJA LOKA Elvis Presley kralj rock' n'rolla Seminarska naloga pri predmetu informatika in glasba. Povzetek Predstavil bom Elvisa Presleya ki se je rodil 8. januarja 1935. Poznan je postal med leti 1954 in 1955 kot rock n' roll glasbenik. Posnel je tudi veliko filmov in prejel veliko število nagrad za svoje skladbe. Umrl je 16. avgusta 1977. Kljub temu da je že več let mrtev je njegova glasba še zmeraj živa in zelo popularna. Ena izmed njegovih uspešnic je tudi Can't Help Falling in Love, katero sem opisal v tretjem poglavju. Kazalo Kazalo slik Uvod Biografija skladatelja Rojstvo in prvi začetki 8. januarja 1935 v Tupelu sta se Gladys in Vernonu Presley (ki sta se vzela dve leti pred tem – on je bil star le 17 let, ona pa 21 let) rodila enojajčna dvojčka. Eden izmed njiju je bil Elvis Presley, ki se je rodil ob 4. uri in 35 minut, pol ure po dvojčku Jesseju Garonu, ki pa je bil ob rojstvu mrtev. S starši je v mladosti pel na raznih taborih, obletnicah, cerkvenih shodih. Za svoj enajsti rojstni dan je prejel kitaro, ki se jo je naučil igrati v naslednjih nekaj mesecih sam in ob pomoči stricev Johnnya Smitha in Vestra Presleya. Ko je bil star trinajst so se preselili v Memphis, zaradi primanjkovanja denarja. Leta 1954 je potrkal na vrata studia Sama Phillipsa, da bi za mamin rojstni dan posnel ploščo. Kmalu po tem se je prijavil na avdicijo za vokalista v kvartetuthe Songfellows a mu ni uspelo. Kljub temu ni obupal in je poklical lokalna glasbenika Scottya Moora, enaindvajsetletnega kitarista in basista Billa Blacka.
