  • The Beatles and the Creative Process CCA 185/AI 185/SNC
    The Beatles And The Creative Process Undergraduate Course Information Guide Course Number: CCA 185, 4 credits, 10 Weeks Cross listed Course Number: AI 185, 2 or 4 credits, 10 Weeks Cross listed Course Number: SNC 185, 4 credits, 10 Weeks Delivery Formats: Online Async, On campus Learning Strategies Learning Learning Outcomes and Resources Deliverables Assessment/Grading Course Schedule Policies Course Description The Beatles are significant in many ways: they were an unprecedented show business phenomenon; they were leaders of Sixties cultural rebellion; and they stand, for many, as a signal instance of popular entertainment attaining the status of high art. This course will examine the musical craftsmanship of the Beatles, focusing on their work as songwriters and record makers. Recent audio and print releases documenting the group's performing and recording history provide a unique and detailed glimpse of the Beatles' creative process. We will utilize these materials to closely trace the development of the group's work while using other resources to place it in a larger historical and cultural context. The goal is to shed critical light on this recent chapter in cultural history. That discussion will, in turn, highlight questions about creativity in a modern context where commerce vies with art, technology redefines performance and an emerging global village culture transforms concepts of originality and tradition. Learning Outcomes After completing this course, you will be able to: • The course focus on songcraft and record making as art forms as well as various approaches to interpreting these forms. • The course focus on such artworks in relation to 60s-era trends in spirituality and philosophy.

  • BWTB Mother's Day 2015
    1 BWTB Annual Mothers Day Show OPEN The Beatles - Your Mother Should Know - Magical Mystery Tour Recorded 22nd August 1967 at Chappell Recording Studios London (1st of two) Abbey Road was booked on this day so they went to another George Martin used studio owned by the Chappell Publishing Co. also in London. Lead vocal Paul The Beatles - Mother Nature’s Son - The Beatles 2 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Another Paul McCartney solo performance for the “White Album.” Paul remembers writing the song at his father’s home in Liverpool and that it was inspired by Nat “King” Cole’s recording of “Nature Boy.” After the other Beatles went home on the evening of August 9, 1968, Paul went through 25 live performances of the song, each featuring his vocal and his Martin D-28 acoustic guitar. Take 24 was deemed the best. Overdubbing took place on August 20 with Paul playing drums and timpani, double-tracking his lead vocal at the end of the song, and adding a second acoustic guitar part. George Martin’s brass arrangement was also added to the mix. John Lennon – Mother – Plastic Ono Band ‘70 Originally started in England, the song’s composition was completed in California (during the famous “Primal Scream” therapy with Dr. Janov). This particular track explored John’s therapy head-on, and it set the musical and lyrical tone for the rest of the album. George Harrison had a great affection for this tune, as he sang the brief a cappella version during an interview on Good Morning Australia in 1982.

    Magical Mystery Term Beatlesque-elementit populaarimusiikissa Sami Tenhunen Tampereen yliopisto Viestintätieteiden tiedekunta Musiikintutkimuksen pro gradu -tutkielma Kesäkuu 2018 TAMPEREEN YLIOPISTO Viestintätieteiden tiedekunta Musiikintutkimuksen maisteriopinnot TENHUNEN, SAMI: Magical Mystery Term – Beatlesque-elementit populaarimusiikissa Pro gradu -tutkielma, s. 103 Kesäkuu 2018 Beatlesque-musiikilla tarkoitetaan sellaista musiikkia, mikä ei ole The Beatles - yhtyeen itsensä esittämää, mutta siinä on havaittavissa selkeitä The Beatles - vaikutteita. Käsite ei sisällä ns. tribuuttibändejä, mitkä esittävät yksinomaan The Beatles -yhtyeen musiikkia sitä mahdollisimman hyvin jäljitellen, vaan sillä tarkoitetaan minkä tahansa yhtyeen tai artistin tekemää tai esittämää musiikkia, mikä tuo kuultuna jollain tavalla mieleen The Beatles -yhtyeen musiikin, oli tämä itse artistilta joko tarkoituksellista tai alitajuista. Mielleyhtymä voi olla melkein mitä tahansa laulullisesta elementistä instrumenttien yleissoundiin, sävellyksellisiin yksityiskohtiin tai vaikkapa viittaus vain yhteen yksittäiseen ääneen. Oleellisinta on kuitenkin se, että beatlesque-elementti on aina kuultu, ei nähty. Tämän tutkielman aiheena oli tutkia sitä, mitkä ovat keskeisiä yleisesti miellettyjä beatlesque-elementtejä musiikissa ja mihin niiden alkuperä perustuu. The Beatles - yhtyeen jäsenten taustat sekä yhtyeen eri kehitysvaiheet vaikuttivat siihen, millaiseksi yhtyeen musiikki muotoutui. Näin ollen myös eri beatlesque-elementit muistuttavat yhtyeen eri vaiheista

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band See Hunter Davies, The Beatles, with a new introduction, New York: Norton, 2009 and Tim Riley, Tell Me Why: A Beatles Commentary, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988. George Harrison on the Beatles in 1966: “By 1966 the Beatles were in a car that was going downhill very fast. This is not to say that their career was going down hill; but they were a media juggernaut that was increasingly out of their manager Brian Epstein’s control – and everybody else’s for that matter. It wasn’t so much that somebody was pressing the accelerator too hard; it was that nobody had their foot on the brake.” Revolver (1966) 7th consecutive no. 1 album in UK for the Beatles 1966: Beatles last tour Late November 1966: recording of “Strawberry Fields” intended for 8th album. It and “Penny Lane” (recorded along with “When I’m Sixty-four” in Dec 1966 and Jan 1967) were released as a single in Feb 1967. Lennon and McCartney were considering taking childhood places and images (a la “In My Life”) as a departure for an album.

It was revenge for having to sleep in the tub! See ya never know these things as a kid! Bob Dylan did a bit of a parody of the song on his 1966 Blonde on Blonde LP.

  • Kazoo Crazy Game Instructions
    Kazoo crazy game instructions Continue The American musical instrument A metal kazoo with a coin of 1 euro for comparison: 23.25 mm (0.92 inches) Examples of kazoos The kazoo is an American musical instrument that adds a buzzing timbre quality to the player's voice when the player voices, buzzes or blows into it. It is a type of myrliton (which in itself is a membranophone), one of the class instruments that changes the voice of its player by vibrating the membrane of the skin goldbeater or material with similar characteristics. Such vibrating and voice-changing instruments have been used in Africa for hundreds of years, often for ceremonial purposes. Playing kazu player buzzes, not punches, in the big and flattened side of the instrument. The oscillating air pressure of the drone causes the membrane to vibrate. As a result, the sound changes in height and volume with the humming of the player. Players can make different sounds by ingesting specific syllables such as doo, 'too', which, rrrrr or brrrr in kazoo. Some people refer to the casu membrane as a cane, believing that it performs the same action in kazoo as it would be a wooden spirit tool, however the cane is made of cane (or synthetic equivalent), while the membrane (most often made of wax paper) is not. The story originated with the Kaminsky International Kazoo quartet, a group of satirical kazoo players who may truly question the veracity of the story, like the very name alabama West. In 1879, Simon Seller received a patent for a toy pipe that worked on the same principle as the kazu: blowing tube A, while humming a kind of head sound, musical vibration is given to paper covering with a c above the diaphragm b, and sound produced pleasant to the ear.
