  • I just ordered Mr. Patrick's book. Can't wait to get it!

  • it's a brilliant book, chris. thanks for explaining it to those of us without music training.

  • Yes - right up to the end. Five of the nine songs on "The Visitors" album feature the title hooks sung in a descending pattern based on mi-re-do (notes 3-2-1) of the scale: When All Is Said And Done, Soldiers, One Of Us, Slipping Through My Fingers and Like An Angel Passing Through My Room. I Let The Music Speak by contrast moves into the more angular and theatrical "recititative" (spoken dialogue) style, showcased in songs like Nobody's Side from CHESS.

  • ok but is this formula true in their more matured melodies too? like Soilders Should I laugh or cry or I let the music speak?

  • Abba always admitted that their arrangements were considered "basic" so there is really no "secret grand formula" or anything mysterious or insidious about their work. Simple harmonies. melodies and overdubbing has always been their "MO" ;)

  • I have my copy yet, great book, very professional !!!

    Thank you Chris.

  • Congradulations Chris

  • Good one Chris

    Cheers Simon Gallaher

  • All serious ABBA fans should have this book-it's a serious yet entertaining look at the most important part of ABBA's legacy: their music.
