The Beatles's Interpretation Of Music
Melody- This is a wonderful interpretation of how The Beatles can introduce their idea of a song. Mainly legato and some staccato- "and go with him", Lennon lowers his voice changing the feeling through vocals. With that as a key point this song has great articulation highlighting vocals, at points, where lyrics have important meaning. The musical instrumentation plays in a conjunct fashion. More over, the notes being played go up and down which really pins down that emotion of mixed emotions. There is also disjunct, when the one guitar plays downward notes and the other guitar strikes a high note.
Harmony- Major and minor chords and major/minor vocals are played during the verses. During the chorus the vocals and chords are played in major.

    Pleasentville, Shoe Horn Sonata and Across the Universe by the Beatles

    The Beatles song “Across the universe”, chosen words and lyrics helps identify the emotion that is being portrayed and also may give a visual image from the thoughts that are felt through the song. “Words are flying out like endless rain” this at the beginning of the song instantly indicates use of metaphor (rain) of water representing cleansing. It creates the thoughts being released and emptied out of the mind and going into the world. “Pools of sorrow, waves of joy”, is a juxtaposition showing opposite emotions being mixed together and revealing the author is confused and lost. The chorus of the song changes the emotions that were at first held, giving it more a convincing and cultural atmosphere. “Jai guru deva on, nothings gonna change my world “, adding in a second language and then a repetition in first spoken language shows to the listenerhow these thoughts are being spread into the universe and trying to convince everyone. Near the end of the song the words of thoughts have moved to the next stage. They are now already released from the mind but trying to travel. “Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes” This gives a very descriptive visual image for the listener to see/feel. Although the message being sent through is that millions of people are witnessing the author’s breakdown, it gives a sense of beauty being captured in slow motion, making it clearer to imagine. The song ends with repetition, first of “nothings gonna change my world” and then finishes with the repetition of “Jai guru deva”. The use of the repetition at the end of the song helps the listener to understand and except what the author’s message…

    The Beatles 'Backward Masking'

    Ever since the late 60s when the Beatles first experimented with a recording technique known as Backward Masking, people have had a fascination with recordings played backwards. In the late 70’s and early 80’s, religious fundamentalists preached from the pulpits that occult forces were hiding sinister backwards messages in rock and roll records. In the early 90s their cries reached the US courts when the rock group, Judas Priest was sued by distraught parents whose teenage sons had committed suicide while listening to their album, Stained Class. They claimed the album contained subliminal backward messages that encouraged suicidal behavior. Judas Priest prevailed in the case with the court ruling they had not intentionally…

    Does Slavery Make Sense Economically?

    Slavery has always been a controversial issue within the United States. Whether one considers its involvement with the Civil War or its obvious racial subjugation, slavery is thought to have been one of the most debilitating elements of American history. Slave labor, which profoundly embedded itself within both Southern and Northern societies, provided a method of economy for those who relied heavily on agriculture, while others were more concerned with industrialization. Its main supporters, Southern plantation owners, had everything invested in this “peculiar institution” and were devastated when it was abolished. Their economy simply revolved around slavery; without it they had nothing. It was an…

    Country Folk Music Analysis

    Rock music is a popular music which uses an electric guitar. Rock usually makes people excited with hard sounds. Everybody knows that The Beatles were a famous rock band in the United Kingdom. The Beatles' song "Day Tripper" is one of their songs that I love. The main guitar riff of the song seems to take me to a vacation spot. When I listen to the song, I feel like I took a train and watched out the window on a rainy day. Two songs of The Beatles', "From Me to You" and "She Loves You," mention love. Sound of harmonica of "From Me to You" gives pleased feeling. However, "She Loves You" is fast and cheerful, so the song makes people dance.…

    The Importance of Music in George Orwells 1984.

    George Orwell uses music to set the tone in 1984. In some instances, it inspires Winston Smith, the protagonist, or represents a need for something he cannot get from the Party. In others, it reminds him of tragedy, and in certain instances, it contains valuable insight from the past. It also represents Winston’s happiness between himself and Julia and predicts Winston’s fate. Music in 1984 plays an important role in the overall attitude of the novel.…
