A Hard Days Night - The Beatles - iLya50ans - L'enregistrement. A Hard Day's Night A Hard Day's Night est une chanson des Beatles, écrite par John Lennon, avec la collaboration de Paul McCartney. Elle ouvre leur troisième album et leur premier film, éponymes. Également parue en single (avec Things We Said Today en face B), elle est disponible au Royaume-Uni en même temps que l'album, le 10 juillet 1964, jour de la première du film à Liverpool. Trois jours plus tard, le single est disponible aux États-Unis, quoique la chanson y soit déjà parue en album le 26 juin. En Angleterre comme en Amérique, la chanson se hisse au haut des meilleures ventes de disques. Le morceau est notamment connu par son accord d'introduction, si caractéristique qu'il permet à lui seul d'identifier instantanément la chanson si on la connaît. La session d'enregistrement a lieu le 16 avril 1964 à Abbey Road.

Biographie | The Official Jimi Hendrix Site 27 novembre 1942 – 18 septembre 1970 Largement reconnu comme l’un des musiciens les plus créatifs et influents du 20ème siècle, Jimi Hendrix fut un pionnier des possibilités explosives de la guitare électrique. Son style innovant, combinaison de fuzz, de feedback et de distorsion contrôlée, fut à l’origine d’une forme musicale nouvelle. Jimi Hendrix, né Johnny Allen Hendrix le 27 novembre 1942 au King County Hospital de Seattle, sera plus tard rebaptisé James Marshall par son père, James “Al” Hendrix. Al avait remarqué l’intérêt de Jimmy pour la guitare et se souvient : “Je faisais faire à Jimmy le ménage de la chambre quand je n’étais pas là, et quand je rentrais, je trouvais des poils de balai au pied du lit. En 1961, Jimmy quitte la maison pour s’enrôler dans l’armée américaine et, en novembre 1962, obtient de porter le blason du “Screaming Eagle” des divisions parachutistes. Passant du role de bassiste à celui de manager, le premier acte de Chandler est de renommer Hendrix “Jimi”.

Keith Moon Moon grew up in Wembley, northwest London, and took up the drums during the early 1960s. After playing with a local band, the Beachcombers, he joined the Who in 1964 before they recorded their first single. Moon remained with the band during their rise to fame, and was quickly recognised for his distinctive drumming style. He occasionally collaborated with other musicians and later appeared in films, but considered playing in the Who his primary occupation and remained a member of the band until his death. In addition to his talent as a drummer, however, Moon developed a reputation for smashing his kit onstage and destroying hotel rooms on tour. He was fascinated by blowing up toilets with cherry bombs or dynamite, and by destroying television sets. Early life[edit] Moon was born to Alfred Charles (Alf) and Kathleen Winifred (Kit) Moon on 23 August 1946 at Central Middlesex Hospital in northwest London, and grew up in Wembley.

InfoChronoGéo: Richard Wagner Wilhelm Richard Wagner, né le 22 mai 1813 à Leipzig et mort le 13 février 1883 à Venise, est un compositeur, directeur de théâtre, polémiste et chef d'orchestre allemand de la période romantique, particulièrement connu pour ses quinze opéras et drames lyriques. Il est aussi auteur de plus d'une vingtaine d'ouvrages philosophiques et théoriques. Occupant une place importante dans l'histoire de la musique occidentale, Richard Wagner compose en général lui-même à la fois la musique et le livret de ses opéras, en particulier Tristan und Isolde, considéré comme le point de départ des principales avancées que connaîtra la musique au xxe siècle1 et L'Anneau du Nibelung, festival scénique en un prologue et trois journées, dont la conception bouscule délibérément les habitudes de l'époque pour aller, selon ses propres termes, vers un « art total » : spectacle complet, mélodie continue et emploi du leitmotiv.
