Show Nov 5th 2019

Topic for the show: Rock ‘n’ Roll with the Classical: The Beatles and Baroque pops.

Baroque Pop, is a fusion genre that combines rock music with particular elements of classical music. It emerged in the mid 1960s as artists pursued a majestic, orchestral sound and is identifiable for its appropriation of Baroque compositional styles with contrapuntal melodies and functional harmony patterns, and dramatic or melancholic gestures. Harpsichords figure prominently, while oboes, French horns, and string quartets are also common.

I’ll be talking about the Beatles, the Lefte Banke, the Beach Boys with their album Pet Sounds, the Rolling Stones, the Moody Blues, the Zombies and few others.

I’ll be playing most Beatles music, from their early years, to the Rubber Soul, Revolver, also Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album and Abbey Road, also discuss on the Beatle record producer and fifth Beatle George Martin.

I will be promoting a Beatle tribute show which is coming up at the Lyric Theatre in Stuart FL, on January 4th, featuring South Florida’s most popular Beatles tribute band, the McCartney Mania with the Academy Orchestra conducted by Thomas Servinsky
