Beatles Analysis Day

1.THEME 2. TONE 3. COMPOSITION                              4. CONSTRUCTION 5. INFLUENCE

Sgt Pepper Quiz: 

Answer just one of the following questions in a well-developed paragraph (approximately 3/4 a page). For each, please be sure to reference the album directly as often as you can. The more specific, the better. 

1. Choose a song from the album and discuss its significance to the analysis/annotation you conducted last night. In other words, how does the song evince the overall theme of the album. What emotional connections did you draw between the song and the experience of listening to the entire album.

2. Choose a dominant impression or thematic thread you found in the album. Discuss specifically how this thread came across in certain songs, lyrics, or motifs.

3. Discuss all of the ways that the album could be considered "innovative" or "progressive." Be sure to draw specific parallels between the



Please note...one of the two prompts NOT chosen tonight will be written for homework as one TYPED page of analysis. 

Your analysis MUST include at least one outside, somewhat (I will define SOMEWHAT) credible source to accompany your own experience of listening to the album. 

If you cannot type it, fine. But it must be a page and a half hand-written. AND LEGIBLE! 

Anyone absent on Wednesday, April 16th MUST hand in the quiz completed on the DAY he/she returns to class. 

Assignment is due Friday, April 19th.
