Kurzbeschreibung

The Beatles had numerous fresh ideas about melody, harmony, counterpoint, rhythm, form, colours and textures, and much new ground was broken by their lyrics alone. This book is a comprehensive chronological study of every aspect of the Fab Four's musical life - including full examinations of composition, performance practice, recording and historical context - during their transcendent late period (1966-1970). Interpretations are interwoven through a documentary study of many thousands of audio, print and other sources.

One of a kind 12. Dezember 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
The Beatles As Musicians (BAM) is one of a kind. No other book discusses the Beatles' music comprehensively from the point of view of a working musician. This is the only book about the Beatles which is aimed squarely at the literate musician.

The current volume handles the 1966-1969 period. Everett goes through each album and song examining basic techniques and materials. One real strength is his description of the recording process and the classification of exactly which guitars were used.

This book is a basic source reference. It's the kind of book you turn to when you need to know *more* about a particular song. It is exceedingly well annotated with references for almost all information provided. These alone makes the book worthwhile.

It does not attempt to sumarise the work of the Beatles or generalise about style. That kind of work can't be contemplated until books such as BAM are first made available.

For me, it's the first useful book about the Beatles music, from a musical viewpoint, since Wilfred Mellers wrote "The Twilight Of The Gods" in the sixties. Our understanding of the Beatles music has come along way since then. BAM is the book that makes that progress visible.

Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
One might read this book's title and think, "Musicians? As opposed to what else?". Then one might suppose the intent is to analyze the Beatles's music technically. Well, yes, there are Schenkerian sketches here, but the book talks about the Beatles as cultural icons, discusses recording studio minutiae, and worries about how much of "Eleanor Rigby"'s lyric was Paul McCartney's and how much John Lennon's, for example, just as much as it concerns itself with the Beatles's music. In other words, it is a compendium of Beatles ephemera. That would be fine if it were better organized and well-written--and if it weren't entitled "The Beatles as Musicians". In fact, the author seems to have done a lot of research and then fed us his notes. He hasn't made a nest of the twigs he's gathered together: he's left them in a heap and published that.

Nevertheless, some of the twigs will be of particular interest to Beatles nuts (and berries) such as myself. I'm thinking especially of the musical reconstruction in score form of the orchestral segment of "A Day in the Life". (I recommend to those to whom this sounds intriguing George Martin's "All You Need Is Ears" for its inclusion of fragments of his "Eleanor Rigby" and "I Am The Walrus" scores, and I eagerly await the day all these scores will be published in toto.)

Informative, if a little stuffy 21. September 2001
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
The author recommends the reader have several years of college-level music training. He uses harmonic/melodic analysis as one would use in dissecting W.A. Mozart, et al, in theory class. This is an interesting and insightful approach that sometimes gets a bit too clever, given the subject matter. The author demonstrates genuine admiration for the Beatles as composers/poets/performers, but occasionally becomes condescending, perhaps a product of his academic background. On the other hand, he seems to be very precise regarding who played what on which track--that's interesting for a musician at any level. All in all, an engrossing work. The more knowledge of music theory the reader possesses, the more he/she will enjoy this book.

Best study of the Beatles' music 29. November 2001
Von Doc - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
A goldmine for anyone interested in the Beatles! By far the best study of the Beatles' music, indeed of any repertory of popular music. Everett includes technical analyses that will assist and inform musicians and scholars. BUT the general reader must not be scared off by the technical sections! If you're not familiar with music theory, skip the technical parts and you still have the best coverage of the Beatles as composers, with historical and personal details accurately recounted for each song and album. Impressed by Everett's work, the Beatles gave Everett unprecedented access to sketches and other unpublished material.

Both author and publisher deserve 10 stars for this magnificent effort.
