Beatles Music Project

Our last music topic was all about The Beatles, we learnt about the history of the band and some of the songs the had written. Our final assessment was to recreate the song "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles and add our own twist to it. We copied the Eleanor Rigby score from a PDF file into Finale NotePad 2008 then converted it to a MIDI file and put it in garageband, we combined all of them to create the song. Our teacher then sent us the vocal notes MIDI file to put in to sound more like the original song. This is what we had to do to get a average level 4 on our project. To get higher we had to change the instruments of each track, create our own original track and add anything else that would go well with the song. I changed the instruments to trumpets, bass, acoustic guitar and orchestral strings. In addition to that i added a simple electric guitar track that i had composed my self giving a pop/hip hop twist to it. To emphasize the pop/hip hop i added beats and shakers to the background.
