An In-Depth Analytical Approach to the Music of the Beatles and the Theory, Techniques, and Technology that Made It Possible. When people look two hundred years into the future of our culture, which music will have survived from today? Who will be the equivalents of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven? The great history of modern popular music is the Beatles. They were the principal architects of the fusion of classical and popular music to create a new musical movement. From the moment humans began creating their art, music and technology have been inseparable. And this interdependence has never been as excitingly organized as in the musical history of the Beatles.

They absorbed numerous other styles around them into an extraordinary and unprecedented musical stew. And they embraced new technologies with enthusiasm and imagination. As pioneers of recording and artistic presentation, blending American music with a British touch, the Beatles revolutionized many aspects of music technology and became leaders of the youth and socio-cultural movements of their time.
Their music was as genuinely sophisticated as it was overwhelmingly popular. For a generation, they were the most important composers in the world and became the most influential band of all time. Analyzing the band’s thirteen legendary studio albums, The Science of the Beatles explores the science, poetry, and power of the music that sparked a revolution.
