Composer explores origins of Beatles songs

Composer and producer Scott Freiman ’84 used audio and video material from the Beatles, which he has collected over the course of several years, to analyze the origin and evolution of a hit Beatles song at an Ezra Stiles College master’s tea Monday night.About 50 students and faculty members attended Freiman’s hour-long multimedia presentation about “Strawberry Fields Forever,” a Beatles song released in 1966. In his presentation, which featured early versions of Beatles songs, Freiman said the Beatles’ willingness to experiment with their music was instrumental in their achievement of extreme popularity.“What makes the Beatles so pertinent to the evolution of music is that they liked breaking the rules and constantly looking for new sounds,” Freiman said.
