III. A retold passage of the text

1. A possible version:

Being a famous singer or musician may be the dream of many people. Becoming a member of a band may help you realize the dream. But just how can people form a band?

Most musicians often meet and form a band for they are congenial with each other. High school students may also form a band to practice music together or sometimes play in the street to passers-by to earn some extra money, which is also a chance to realize their dreams of becoming famous.

However, There was a band which was started in quite a different way. The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other and played music, loosely based on the Beatles. Their exciting performances were copied by other groups and were fiercely supported by their fans. That band was The Monkees. After a year or so, The Monkees became more serious of their work, playing their own instruments and writing their own music. Though it broke up in 1970, it reunited in the mid-1980s and is still popular today.

 

Section 2: Background information on music, musicians and the band The Monkees

I. Different types of music:

Folk music
It has been passed down from one generation to another. At first it was never written down. People learned the songs from their families, relatives, neighbors and friends in the same village. These songs were about the country life, the seasons, animals and plants, and about love and sadness in people’s lives.
Pop music

It is a kind of modern music with a strong beat and not of lasting interest, especially just favored for a short time by younger people

•

 

Rock ’n’ Roll

It is also called rock and roll, a kind of modern music with strong beat, played loudly on electrical instruments, in which the singer repeats the same few simple words.

 

Jazz
Jazz was born in the USA around 1890. It came from work songs sung by black people and had its roots in Africa. Jazz started developing in the 1920s in the southern states. Soon it was played by white musicians, too, and reached other parts of the USA.

 

African music
It plays an important part in people’s lives, especially for work, and at festivals and weddings, when people dance all night long.

 

Indian music
It’s not written down. There is a basic pattern of notes which the musician follows. But a lot of modern music is also written. India also produces films with music, and millions of records are sold every year.
Music in the Caribbean
The slaves who were brought from Africa developed their own kind of music. West Indians make musical instruments out of large oil cans. They hit different parts of the drum with hammers to produce different notes. This type of music has become very famous in Britain and is very good music to dance to.
II. Famous musicians:

Joseph Haydn（1732-1809）was an Austrian composer and is known as “the father of the symphony”. Other composers had written symphonies before Haydn, but he changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra.
He was born in a village in Austria, the son of a peasant. He had a beautiful singing voice. After studying music in Vienna, Haydn went to work at the court of a prince in eastern Austria, where he became director of music. Having worked there for 30 years, Haydn moved to London, where he was very successful.

 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)was a composer, possibly the greatest musical genius of all time. He only lived 35 years and he composed more than 600 pieces of music.
Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. His father Leopold was a musician and orchestra conductor. Wolfgang had musical talent from a very early age. He learned to play the harpsichord in a concert for the Empress of Austria.
By the time he was 14, Mozart had composed many pieces for the harpsichord, piano and violin, as well as for orchestras. While he was still a teenager, Mozart was already a big star and toured Europe giving concerts. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressed with him. “He is the greatest composer the world has known,” he said. The two were friends until Mozart’s death in 1791.

 

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)was born in Bonn, Germany. He showed musical talent when he was very young, and learned to play the violin and piano from his father, who was a singer. Mozart met Beethoven and was impressed by him. “He will give something wonderful to the world,” he said. Beethoven met Haydn in 1791, but was not impressed by the older man. After they had known each other for many years, Beethoven said, “He is a good composer, but he has taught me nothing.” However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna. Beethoven became very popular in the Austrian capital and stayed there for the rest of his life. As he grew older, he began to go deaf. He became completely deaf during the last years of his life, but he continued composing.
