  • BWTB Playlist April17th 2016
    1 Playlist April 17th 2016 9AM The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off- hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song. It was a rarity for an outsider to be allowed in the studio or control booth while The Beatles rehearsed and recorded. An exception was made for the director of the “A Hard Day’s Night” film, Richard Lester. Lester was in the control booth and offered many suggestions during the morning while this key song was worked out, much to the dismay of producer George Martin. It was Lester’s suggestion that the song open dramatically (as it would open the film), and fade out at the end in a cinematic way.

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man.

    PLAYLIST SEPT. 16TH 2012 HR.1 HR 1 The Beatles - Wait - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John and Paul Recorded June 17, 1965 during the “Help!” sessions, the song was left unfinished when The Beatles had hit the deadline to submit the album. Five months later, as the deadline to submit “Rubber Soul” was upon them, they grabbed the unfinished song, threw on some overdubs and decreed it finished. Specifically, they added a tone pedal guitar, tambourine, maracas, and more vocals on November 11, 1965, the final day of recording for “Rubber Soul.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written entirely by Paul in March 1966 while on vacation with then-girlfriend Jane Asher at the Swiss ski resort of Klosters. The backing track was recorded in 10 takes on May 9, 1966 with only Paul (piano) and Ringo (drums) present. John and George do not perform on this song. Overdubs included Paul on clavichord, and Ringo on cymbals and maracas. Paul’s lead vocal was recorded on May 16. The baroque-style French horn solo was credited to Alan Civil and recorded on May 19. Ringo’s original drum part was removed from the track in the reduction mixdown. The song was originally called “Why Did It Die?” Paul: “I was in Switzerland on my first skiing holiday. I'd done a bit of skiing in ‘Help!’ and quite liked it, so I went back and ended up in a little bathroom in a Swiss chalet writing ‘For No One.’ I remember the descending bass line trick that it's based on, and I remember the character in the song - the girl putting on her make-up.” On U.S.

  • Cover Songs in Modern Culture. Master Thesis
    Cover Songs in Modern Culture A Live Cover Concert as a Musicological Phenomenon Elena Alexandrovna Blagova Master’s Thesis in Musicology Department of Musicology University of Oslo April 2018 !2 Cover Songs in Modern Culture A Live Cover Concert as a Musicological Phenomenon Elena Alexandrovna Blagova Master’s Thesis in Musicology Department of Musicology University of Oslo April 2018 !3 Copyright 2018 Cover Songs in Modern Culture: A Live Cover Concert as a Musicological Event Elena Alexandrovna Blagova http://www.duo.uio.no Publisher: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo !4 Abstract The quantity of cover songs on today’s music market rises questions about its “quality”. The meaning of the term covering in general and in particular, the demand for more or less covering in modern culture through the perception of the modern society and the cover trend itself are the “qualities” of the event, which were investigated in this thesis. To research such problems a live cover concert was made and 24 people from the audience were interviewed right after the concert as part of this case study. To maximize the comprehension of the results, the repertoire of the performances included 10 cover songs from various periods and genres of pop and rock music. The interviews were meant to reveal and develop the relationship between the remaking process and the contemporary world. People were asked about a definition of a cover song, the relevance of comparison, the interpretation, which touched them the most, and a kind of impression they got within the concert. Although the expectation was such that people would prefer music pieces of their own generation, the interviewed have demonstrated surprising views and, moreover, independent thinking.

  • Dreampath Podcast Transcript of Interview with Musician Jeff Hamilton Host, Bryan G
    DreamPath Podcast Transcript of Interview with Musician Jeff Hamilton Host, Bryan G. Smith Date: 12-11-2019 Bryan: Bryan Smith here, and welcome to the DreamPath Podcast, where I try to get inside the heads of talented creatives from all over the world. My goal is to demystify and humanize the creative process and make it accessible to everyone. Now let's jump in. Bryan: Jeff Hamilton's on the show today. Jeff is a multi-instrumentalist audio recording engineer, live audio engineer, tour manager, stage tech and touring side man for bands like Uriah Heep and Dennis DeYoung from Styx. He's also a member of multiple bands, one of which is about to embark on an international tour with dates in Montreal, Canada, and Moscow, Russia. Jeff played with the Violent Femmes for 10 years and also served as their producer and audio engineer on their "We Can Do Anything" album and on their Happy New Year EP. If you grew up in the 80's or even the 90's you probably remember the Violent Femmes hits Blister in the Sun and Added Up, which many say defined the early to mid 80's sound and vibe with a minimalist style of punk rock that really transcended punk and made its way into the musical consciousness of just about every young person from that era. Bryan: In this interview, we hear how Jeff met the Femmes and was brought in as a touring musician with them as well as their audio engineer and producer for studio albums.
