The Beatles

A Hard Day's Night ? All You Need is Love ? Let It Be ? Ob-la-di Ob-la-da ? When I am Sixty Four ? With A Little Help From My Friends ? MichelleLa musique des Beatles reste toujours aussi neuve et riche et symbolise plus que jamais l'insouciance et la créativité des 'sixties'. Albums et tournées triomphales se sont succédés : chaque apparition publique du groupe provoqua des émeutes. Avec Brilliant Beatles vous transcenderez le public.

In total contrast to “Eleanor Rigby” this arrangement draws on the lyrical nature of these graceful and well-known melodies of “Blackbird” and “Yesterday”. Tom Wallace's genius is on display ashe interweaves both melodies in natural and effortless transition. The pace of this up-tempo ballad moves well and at 1:20 provides a nice change of pace without lingering too long.

Segueing immediately from “Blackbird / Yesterday” the final production begins with a brief drum solo reminiscent of those performed by Ringo Starr before moving to the cheerful melody of “Sgt. Pepper's LonelyHearts Club Band”. Concluding with a swift yet natural transition to the last song ever recorded by all four Beatles “The End” appropriately provides a grounded and powerful sense of closure to the program.

Following Lady Madonna Tom's arrangement of Eleanor Rigby sets a more serious and dramatic tone beginning with a mallet feature that incorporates subtle hints of the familiar melody followed by a bold and dramatic impact by the full band.

The stately and powerful opening strains quickly give way to a driving tempo in this masterful setting. Jay uses a rich variety of scoring styles in this version of Eleanor Rigby like you've never heard!

Beatlemania opens with a quick crescendo ascending to a powerful statement of Magical Mystery Tour and segues into a rhythmical version of Lady Madonna. Along with great marching and design tempos the arrangement is brimming with contrast and colorful impacts.

This sensitive and carefully paced chart is a beautiful change of pace for the field. Creatively scored in a very musical setting.
