Bohemian Rapsody -

QUEEN

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN CLASS

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for his British rock band "Queen”

STYLES
1. VOCAL sections. Heads singing on a dark background
2. BALLAD like sections. Freddie Mercury sings and plays the piano
3. A HARD ROCK section. Freddie Mercury stands up to sing and move on the stage

SIX PARTS.

1. Vocal I This is the intro part
2. Ballad I: It repeats twice a musical structure, with two different verses
3. Guitar solo: It acts as a bridge from ballad to opera
4. Vocal II .Operatic style is developed here, with a lot of contrasts
5. Hard rock: The most aggressive section in the song
6. Ballad lI: The song goes back to the 2nd part's ballad style
Listen to the song and try to identify and mark this structure through listening, and then check again watching the video clip'

Are the lyrics of the opera section similar to the lyrics of the ballad sections? Which are the differences? And how about the hard rock section's lyrics?
Do you think each musical style emphasizes its lyrics?
