The Beatles may have changed the face of society as we know it, changed the world some would claim, but one thing is for sure - they knew how to write a good pop song. Little did the Fab Four realize at the time, but their instantly memorable, melody-driven hits set the precedent for modern pop music. And while historians and sociologists may argue about the Beatles effect on society, few would argue about their effect on the music scene. One of the most important changes they incorporated was polyrhythm, many different sounds and rhythms at once, such as drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals, bass guitar and more. The use of polyrhythm made a more intricate web of sound for the listener, and that web made the music more interesting. This technique influenced several of the bands we ll perform for you today. So now, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show! 4 9
