[@marybaillie8907]

From the 1976 album A New World Record, Jeff Lynne wrote this tune about suffering the loss of a love. From the Spanish orchestral beginning, it rocks on into a masterpiece. The beautiful strings throughout make an enjoyable setting for a great tune. Patti Quatro does the vocals, uncredited, during the "higher and higher" part. Such a great song. Great reaction.

I’m 62 years old and have been to many concerts in my life, I have to say ELO was by far the best. Showed up with a full orchestra on stage and sounded great, you would have thought you were listening to the studio recordings. Being dead center in the 11th row was sublime!

The bow moves that Jay mentioned are: Legato - normal smooth now movements Spiccato - short detached strokes with a bouncing bow Pizzicato - plucking the string instead of bowing I played the viola (similar to the violin but slightly bigger and lower notes) growing up and still love orchestral instruments.

Yes, you noticed the two techniques of playing orchestral stringed instruments. Bowing......stroking the bow across the strings. Pizzicato......plucking the strings with the fingers. You'll also notice the string glissandos beginning at 4:57 are played with 32nd notes which gives a Vivaldi-esque¹ feel to the piece which heretofore, had been quite content with half, quarter and eighth notes. ¹ Vivaldi was known for writing very rapidly played movements in his compositions

ELO was a huge part of the soundtrack of the '70's! They are everywhere!!

[@tonyginnetti5828]

It's important to understand that when Jeff Lynne split from Roy Wood to form ELO, it was due mainly to what The Beatles were doing in 1967-1968! Lynne was heavily influenced by that sound of a few strings blending with rock and roll ("Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am The Walrus", "All You Need Is Love", "Hello-Goodbye", etc ..) and simply took it a step further by integrating the sound of classical strings into rock and roll as THE sound of the Electric Light Orchestra! Lynne is a musical genius who doesn't get the accolades he is so richly deservant of! He is every bit as gifted as Lennon and McCartney!

[@Jack-pu4rf]
