Why does melody affect us so deeply, from the moment we are born? Tunes touch our deepest emotions, and are capable of inspiring love, sorrow, faith, and hope. But how does a melody actually work? In this film composer Howard Goodall looks at melody's basic elements. Why are some melodic shapes common to all cultures across the world? Can successful melodies be written at random? If not, what are the familiar melodic patterns composers of all types of music have fallen back on again and again, and why do they work? Watch this interesting clip and learn.
(c) 2004 Channel Four: The Beatles - 20th Century Greats UPDATE: here's John Lennon on George Martin's influence in a 1975 BBC interview with "whispering" Bob Harris: https://youtu.be/lrRl065BR2w Music has been a central part of my entire life - yet to this day I've never understood how it all works in terms of its emotional "mechanics". In Desert Island Discs mode, for me there are three towering influences: The Beatles; Bach, and Handel - they are the big three, without question. And for for those of us who hold the music of The Beatles in the highest esteem, here classical composer Howard Goodall gives us an informed and absorbing account of their musical innovation, their influence, and their lasting legacy. It's a real privilege to be educated by someone who can express the langu...
Second episode of Howard Goodall's excellent series on Big Bang moments in musical history. This episode covers the fascinating area of equal temperament, and I think helps puts to bed the myth that just temperament is a better tuning system to equal temperamant. Certainly to any meaningful degree. IMHO. If you want to discover more from me about classical music, come visit http://www.learnclassical.com.

From the moment our hearts start beating, rhythm is integral to us all. From walking to dancing, from clicking our fingers to tapping our toes, we are all programmed to respond to rhythm. In this film Howard looks at the common rhythmic patterns that have been used by musicians from all cultures, from Brahms to rappers, from the founders of Cuban son to Philip Glass, from Stevie Wonder to Fats Waller. Why do some rhythms make us want to dance, while others make us feel tranquil? How does rhythm 'work' when there is no obvious pulse, as in much classical music? What links African drumming to J S Bach? Why do virtually all popular singers sing ahead of the beat? And how is it that a tiny Caribbean island has produced a rhythm that dominates popular music the world over? Currently not avai...
