John Bayless
John Bayless
Bayless began making records in 1985 and he adapted a number of tunes by the Beatles. In his most recent release, Circle of Life (which was recorded in 2001 but not released until 2007) he adapts songs of Elton John. For his version of the popular song “Tiny Dancer,” he mixes it with the main theme of the third movement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G by Bach. This is the first musical material you hear in the piece prior to the entrance of EJ’s song.
The Section
For our second piece, we listen to part of a recording made by The Section (a string quartet) based upon the song “Exit Music (for a Film)” by Radiohead. If you weren’t told this was a pop song, you would probably never be able to tell.
