2. Historical information about "The Beatles"

The biography of the English group "The Beatles" began in the late fifties of the twentieth century. In the spring of 1956, the leader of the future star team, John Lennon, first heard one of Elvis Presley's songs. And this song, Heartbreak Hotel, turned the whole life of a young man upside down. Lennon played the banjo and harmonica, but new music made him take up the guitar.

At one party where Lennon was present, everyone had to perform a song. One guy, by the name of Paul McCartney, then sang a composition of his own composition. John liked the way Paul plays. And when it turned out that McCartney also knows the lyrics of many pop hits, he was immediately invited to the Quarryman group.

In the fall of 1958, fifteen-year-old George Harrison joined the line-up.

In 1959, The Quarrymen was on the verge of breaking up, but a new member appeared in the group - Stuart Sutcliffe, a friend of Lennon. The line-up was almost formed: Sutcliffe (bass guitar), Harrison (lead guitar), McCartney (vocals, guitar, piano), Lennon (vocals, rhythm guitar). The only thing missing was a drummer.

And in the spring of 1960, Lennon approved the name "The Beatles".

The fame of The Beatles abroad began with the city of Hamburg. By the 1960s, Germany recognized British performers, and British musical groups often went on tour in German cities. However, Lennon's band lacked a drummer. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison met Ringo Starr, who joined the band in 1962, by a lucky chance on the recording of the group's disc "Rory Storm and the Hurricanes" with the participation of the Beatles.

1963 is considered the heyday of the Liverpool Four. The recording of the fourth single brought the group worldwide recognition and fame. Abroad, the group expected incredible success. After touring in Hamburg, Sweden followed by tours of Europe and the United States. At the same time, the four released records, participated in the filming of films.

The Beatles stopped working together in 1970, although Paul and John have been running their own projects since at least 1967. After the breakup, each of the musicians continued their solo careers. In 1980, John Lennon was killed near his home in New York, and George Harrison died of cancer in 2001. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr continue to create and write music.

Thus, The Beatles existed for about 10 years, and during this time they released 13 albums. They played excellent music, composing on their own or interpreting in their own way the works of other authors, diverse in style.

Chapter II.Popular songs of the group through the eyes of a modern teenager.

2.1 "Music specific to teenagers"

Modern teenagers cannot live without music. Music is the way of their life. What kind of music do young people listen to? Studies show that the guys spend most of their time listening to different song genres: "moving", "rap", "hip-hop" and others. Today, there is an addiction of young people to the light genre, which is part of mass culture, and high musical culture is often not in demand. Music today is one of the main components of the life of modern teenagers.

Выводы о проделанной работе

Работая над проектом, мы узнали очень  много информации о группе "Beatles".  В музыке «Битлз» присутствовали сложные размеры, свободные модуляции и тональный окрас. Им хорошо удавалось украсить гармоническую палитру музыки, они обогатили музыку, добавив струнные и духовые инструменты.

Мы достигли  цели, Расширили музыкальные знания подростков о легендарной группе «TheBeatles» путем знакомства с творчеством группы и прослушиванием их хитов. Отдали предпочтение классической музыки.

В процессе работы приобрели опыт, который пригодится в дальнейшем при изучении соответствующих тем по английскому языку и информатике. Думаю, что полученные нами знания способствовали развитию навыка самостоятельной работы с текстами, словарями и справочниками на английском языке, а так же развитие навыка самостоятельной работы с диаграммами.

The results of the work can be used both in English language lessons and by tourists when traveling in Great Britain.

Результаты работы можно использовать как на уроках английского языка,  так и туристами при путешествии по Великобритании.
