  • Mto.04.10.4.W Everet
    Volume 10, Number 4, December 2004 Copyright © 2004 Society for Music Theory Walter Everett KEYWORDS: rock music, tonality, harmony, voice leading, Schenkerian analysis, modal theory, blues, popular music, Beck ABSTRACT: Despite frequently voiced assertions and their underlying presumptions, there is no single sort of tonal behavior common to all rock music, but rather a spectrum of approaches to scales, harmonic function and voice leading. This essay addresses the issue from two perspectives. The first suggests an array of six tonal systems ranging from the traditional major mode through modal (including minor-pentatonic) practices having increasing structural value, to chromatic relations with little basis in any deeper diatony. The second perspective studies the varied degrees of interaction between harmony and voice leading evidenced in samples of rock music from two historically opposed timeframes, the more homogeneous span of 1957–58 and the more radically experimental period of 1999–2000. Finally, Beck’s “Lonesome Tears” (2003) serves as a model for an analytical approach to one iconoclastic combination of voice leading and harmony. Received October 2004 [1] In its history now spanning half a century, rock music has found expression in dozens of styles and sub-styles, each characterized in part—sometimes in large part—by its own approach to a preexisting tonal system, or sometimes by its unveiling of a seemingly novel tonal system.(1) Of course there are many other musical and poetic traits of importance in marking style distinctions (including rhythm at surface, phrase, and sectional levels, tone color, performance practices such as phrasing, articulation, and dynamics, and recording techniques), but in this essay we will focus solely on matters of tonal structure, in hopes of addressing in a brief space an underlying context for the wide variety of systems that exist.

  • Beyoncé's Lemonade Collaborator Melo-X Gives First Interview on Making of the Album.” Pitchfork, 25 Apr
    FACULTADE DE FILOLOXÍA DEPARTAMENTO DE FILOLOXÍA INGLESA GRAO EN INGLÉS: ESTUDOS LINGÜÍSTICOS E LITERARIOS Beyoncé’s Lemonade: “A winner don’t quit” ANDREA PATIÑO DE ARTAZA TFG 2017 Vº Bº COORDINADORA MARÍA FRÍAS RUDOLPHI Table of Contents Abstract 1. Introduction 3 2. Methodology 4 3. Beyonce's Lemonade (2016) 5 3.1 Denial: “Hold Up” 6 3.2 Accountability: “Daddy Lessons” 12 3.3 Hope: “Freedom” 21 3.4 Formation 33 4. Conclusion 44 5. Works Cited 46 Appendix 49 Abstract Beyoncé’s latest album has become an instant social phenomenon worldwide. Given its innovative poetic, visual, musical and socio-politic impact, the famous and controversial African American singer has taken an untraveled road—both personal and professional. The purpose of this essay is to provide a close reading of the poetry, music, lyrics and visuals in four sections from Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Lemonade (2016). To this end, I have chosen what I believe are the most representative sections of Lemonade together with their respective songs. Thus, I focus on the song “Hold Up” from Denial; “Daddy Lessons” from Accountability, “Freedom” from Hope, and “Formation,” where Beyoncé addresses topics such as infidelity, racism, women’s representation, and racism and inequality. I analyse these topics through a close-reading and interpretation of Warsan Shire’s poetry (a source of inspiration), as well as Beyoncé’s own music, lyrics, and imagery. From this analysis, it is safe to say that Lemonade is a relevant work of art that will perdure in time, since it highlights positive representations of African-Americans, at the same time Beyoncé critically denounces the current racial unrest lived in the USA.

  • 1 Going Long
    GOING LONG by JOHN CASSIDY In the new “long tail” marketplace, has the blockbuster met its match? Issue of 2006-07-10 A quick test of your pop-culture knowledge: How many of the twenty-five best-selling albums in American history can you name, and what proportion of them were recorded in this century? If your first thought was Michael Jackson and your second was seventies guitar bands, you should do pretty well with the first part of the question. The most popular album of all time is the Eagles’ “Greatest Hits, 1971-1975,” which has sold about twenty-nine million copies in the United States since its release, in 1976. The No. 2 album is Jackson’s “Thriller,” which has sold twenty-seven million copies since 1982. Next on the list are albums by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC / DC, and Billy Joel. The second part of the question is a little trickier: none of the top-twenty-five albums were released after 2000. Indeed, only three recent albums make the Recording Industry Association of America’s top-one-hundred list: Shania Twain’s “Up!” and Norah Jones’s “Come Away with Me,” from 2002; and OutKast’s 2003 double album, “Speakerboxxx / The Love Below.” Not one album released in the past three years has made the list. What are we to make of this, other than to point out that it must have something to do with online file-sharing and iPods? A lot, according to Chris Anderson, a business journalist who formerly worked at The Economist and now edits Wired.

  • Tonal Ambiguity and Melodic-Harmonic Disconnect in the Music of Coldplay
    “All That Noise, and All That Sound:” Tonal Ambiguity and Melodic-Harmonic Disconnect in the Music of Coldplay by Nathanael Welch Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music in the Music Theory and Composition Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2015 “All That Noise, and All That Sound:” Tonal Ambiguity and Melodic-Harmonic Disconnect in the Music of Coldplay Nathanael Welch I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Nathanael Welch, Student Date Approvals: Dr. Jena Root, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date Dr. Tedrow Perkins, Committee Member Date Dr. Steven Reale, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date i ABSTRACT Within the music of Coldplay there often exists a disconnect between the melody (vocal line) and the harmony (chord pattern/structure). It is often difficult to discern any tonal center (key) within a given song. In several of the songs I have selected for analysis, the melodies, when isolated from the harmonic patterns, suggest tonal centers at odds with the chords. Because of its often stratified pitch organization, Coldplay’s music is sometimes in two keys simultaneously. Exploring the disconnect between melody and harmony, I will show how that can lead to tonal ambiguity in the sense that there is no one key governing an entire song.

  • THE FOUR PHASES of the BEATLES Mark Steffen
    THE FOUR PHASES OF THE BEATLES Mark Steffen (1) During the early Sixties, the four members of a • rock band called the Beatles took the field of pop music by storm and their Influence on music contlnes even today. But despite the Identity of name and members, the Beatles were not always the same group. The group went through four distinct phases--the early years, the pop stardom period, the muslcmakers phase, and the sololsts-­ character Jzed by changes In the audiences they drew, the sound they had, and their Image as a band. (2) In the early years (between 1959 and 1962), the Beatles were starting a career which was chal lenglng and uncertain. Entertaining the lower classes of Liverpool and the surrounding area with their crude versions of popular American songs at dilapidated dance halls and clubs, they were brash and vulgar. Their Image as obnoxious troublemakers was wel I earned. In one Instance, a club at which they played caught f Ire due to their antics on stage. They dressed as they pleased, paying no attention to fashion and normal modes of dress. This, coupled with their long hair, set them apart from other bands. Yet, In these early years, they Improved their musical talents and gained valuable experience as entertainers. After they obtained Brian Epstein as their manager, the band changed dramatically. (3) The next phase In the Beatles' history was pop stardom. They gained this status almost overnight after the release of their first two singles, "Love Me Do" and "Please, Please Me," their own compositions.

  • Outkast'd and Claimin' True
    OUTKAST’D AND CLAIMIN’ TRUE: THE LANGUAGE OF SCHOOLING AND EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN HIP­HOP COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE by JOYCELYN A. WILSON (Under the direction of Judith Preissle) ABSTRACT The hip­hop community of practice encompasses a range of aesthetic values, norms, patterns, and traditions. Because of its growth over the last three decades, the community has come to include regionally­specific networks linked together by community members who engage in meaningful practices and experiences. Expressed through common language ideologies, these practices contribute to the members’ communal and individual identity while simultaneously providing platforms to articulate social understandings. Using the constructs of community of practice and social networks, this research project is an interpretive study grounded primarily in the use of lyrics and interviews to investigate the linguistic patterns and language norms of hip­ hop’s southern network, placing emphasis on the Atlanta, Georgia southern hip­hop network. The two main goals are to gain an understanding of the role of school in the cultivation of the network and identify the network’s relationship to schooling and education. The purpose is to identify initial steps for implementing a hip­hop pedagogy in curriculum and instruction.
