Listening (The - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), "A Day in the Life"

This selection by the Beatles is such an emotional song that has several creative ideas within it. The song's transitions with orchestra cresendos are very unique and were only added after the entire song was recorded. The piano chord at the end of the song also was added post recording. The song has an interesting choice of lyrical selection. Most believe that the lyrics were about Lennon and McCarthy's friend who died. Another think that I found interesting was that the ending E Major chord was played by three people simultaneously. I really enjoy this song and have listened to it extensively before entering this class. However now that I have entered the course I can see the somewhat expressionistic and modernists-tic in this piece.
