Tone Colour
Rock ensemble. Performing media of drum kit, rhythm guitar x 2, bass guitar, lead male vocals and back up male vocals. John Lennons voice has quite a raspy and harsh/raw tone colour at times. Back up singers sing with a more pure tone colour. The overall tone colour of the ensemble is quite raw. Screaming has a harsh tone colour at the end of the vocal arpeggio in the bridge. Twangy tone colour of the hollow body electric guitars and bass guitar. Layers of drum kit, rhythm guitar x 2, bass guitar, lead vocals and back up vocals in harmony. Sometimes rhythm guitar and bass guitar play in unison. John Lennon is the lead vocalist and Paul McCartney and George Harrison provide backing vocals. Thin texture in introduction with the guitars playing in rhythmic unison in the opening riff and no vocals for 4 bars. Staggered entries are used in the vocal arpeggio in the bridge section. A fairly full texture heard throughout, however staggered entries of vocals helps to create textural variety. Mostly homophonic texture, with John Lennon singing the melody and George Harrison and Paul McCartney singing responses in harmonies. Also guitars and bass provide a rhythmic and melodic accompaniment and the drums provide a steady rhythmic groove. Intro (4 bars), chorus (8 bars), verse 1 (8 bars), chorus (8 bars), verse 2 (8 bars), bridge (14 bars including 8 bars of vocal arpeggio), chorus (8 bars), verse 2 (8 bars), outro (6 bars vamp then 4 bars of vocal arpeggio). This is called verse/chorus form. Use of call and response in vocals. 4 lines of lyrics per chorus/verse. Repetition and imitation used throughout the song in both the vocal and instrumental lines. E.g. Well shake it up baby, now (shake it up baby).
