In a stretch of just seven years, the Beatles recorded hundreds of
songs which tower above those of their worthy peers as both the
product of cultural leadership and an artistic reflection of their
turbulent age, the1960s. Walter Everett and Tim Riley's What Goes
On: The Beatles, Their Music, and Their Time blends historical
narrative, musicology, and music analysis to tell the full story of
the Beatles and how they redefined pop music. The book traces the
Beatles' development chronologically, marking the band's
involvement with world events such as the Vietnam War, strides in
overcoming racial segregation, gender stereotyping, student
demonstrations, and the generation gap. It delves deeply into their
body of work, introducing the concepts of musical form,
instrumentation, harmonic structure, melodic patterns, and rhythmic
devices in a way that is accessible to musicians and non-musicians
alike. Close readings of specific songs highlight the tensions
between imagination and mechanics, songwriting and technology, and
through the book's musical examples, listeners will learn how to
develop strategies for creating their own rich interpretations of
the potential meanings behind their favorite songs. Videos hosted
on the book's companion website offer full definitions and
performance demonstrations of all musical concepts discussed in the
text, and interactive listening guides illustrate track details in
real-time listening. The unique multimedia approach of What Goes On
reveals just how great this music was in its own time, and why it
remains important today as a body of singular achievement.
