Ap Music Final

Session 12

The song, “I want to hold your hand” uses lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and handclaps whereas the “Norwegian wood” uses the sitar and a lead guitar thereby making the sounds more clear in the latter song than in the former. In the Norwegian wood, there is the gradation of sounds produced by the sitar, and it creates less musical wave effects just like in the case of the “I want to hold your hand” where the wave effects are more due to the use of two guitars and drum, although not much. 

Also, in the Norwegian Wood, there is more sound harmony compared to the I want to Hold Your Hand where one voice seems to be more dominant than the other.

The aspect of the Norwegian Wood that makes people relate it to Bob Dylan’s style is the use of only two instruments; whereas Bob Dylan uses the guitar and keyboard, the Beatles use sitar and guitar and no drums or clapping in both cases.

In the song, “You Never Give Me Your Money” McCartney and Lennon document ten financial as well as personal difficulties their band experienced. The musical instrument is only the guitar, and it is very low to enable the voice and theme to come out clearly. The purpose of the song is to highlight the financial difficulties the singers faced. The subject matter of Beatles changed in the middle and earlier phases and what made them change is because they wanted to have new themes and to meet the market demands. 

Session 13

In the Stones song, “I Can’t Get No” there is very dim light on the stage but in Beatles’ song “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” there is a bright light at the stage. The theme in Stones’ song is clearer because they keep on repeating their message, but the Beatles’ message is not as clear. The Mood in Beatles’ song is dull while in the Stones’ song the mood is jubilant. In both cases, the sound effects are similar to wave sound effects observed.

The song Paint it Black and Norwegian Wood are different regarding composition and sound effects. The Norwegian Wood seems to have a clearer theme compared to the Paint it Black. In the Paint it Black, there are more music instruments with the use of the drums, but the Norwegian has only the guitar played and no sound wave effects.  The music growth is similar in both cases in that they both start slowly but increase the tempo of the song.

The Rolling Stones had a great ability to adapt to changing times in the pop music because they could effectively analyze the market demands and ten produce the songs that would hit. They were able to bridge musical styles by making a good combination of sound and instruments, and that is where the Beatles missed it all together. Love You Live is another case where the Rolling Stones demonstrate a significant adaptation to the changing trends of pop music.

Discussion

The Beatles were not such great as to take the US charts at any time; it is because they were able to make proper timing regarding themes and use of instruments. They produced the songs that people loved because they embodied the messages that people wanted to hear, and coupled with the musical styles, these bands became very popular in their times. They were able to adapt to different musical styles and were proactive in their production. They produced their songs at the time when the songs were more likely to hit and be embraced by different audiences.
