Sir George Martin

Sir George Martin CBE (born January 3, 1926 in Holloway, London) is sometimes referred to as "the fifth Beatle", a title that he owes to his work as producer of almost all of The Beatles' records. In recognition of his services to the music industry and popular culture, he was made a Knight Bachelor of the British Empire in 1996. He is also the father of producer Giles Martin.

Biography

Martin attended the Guildhall School of Music in the years after World War II, paying his way with a veteran's grant (he had served during the war in the Royal Air Force). Following his graduation, he first worked for the BBC's classical music department, then joined EMI in 1950, as assistant to Oscar Preuss, the head of EMI's Parlophone Records. Taking over Parlophone as Preuss retired, Martin spent his first years with the record label recording classical and Baroque music, original cast recordings of hit plays, and regional music from around the British Isles. He also produced numerous comedy and novelty records, working with offbeat acts such as Peter Sellers, Rolf Harris and Shirley Abicair. Adding rock and roll to Parlophone's repertoire, Martin struggled to find a "fireproof", hitmaking rock artist or group. Categories: University stubs | Performing arts education in London ...

He first auditioned The Beatles in 1962, after they had been turned down by Decca Records and most of the major British labels. Although his initial reaction was that "they were pretty awful", Martin signed them to a recording contract. This marked the beginning of a long relationship, in which Martin's musical expertise helped fill the gap between The Beatles' raw talent and the sound they wanted to achieve. Most of the orchestral arrangements and instrumentation (as well as frequent keyboard parts on the early records) on Beatles records were made or performed by Martin, in collaboration with the band. (A good example of this was on "Penny Lane", where Martin worked with McCartney on a piccolo trumpet solo: McCartney hummed the melody, and Martin wrote it down in music notation for the classically trained trumpeter.) 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ...

Martin's distinctive arranging work on Beatles recordings appears in "Eleanor Rigby", for which he scored and conducted a strings-only accompaniment (inspired by Bernard Herrmann's music for Fahrenheit 451), "Strawberry Fields Forever", where he turned two very different takes into a single master through careful use of vari-speed and editing, "I Am the Walrus", a quirky and original arrangement (for brass, violins, cellos and choir) effectively complementing the surreal imagery of the song's lyrics, playing a sped-up Baroque piano solo on "In My Life", and the orchestral 'windup' appearing in "A Day In The Life". He also contributed less praised but integral parts to other songs, including the piano in "Lovely Rita", the circus instrumentation in "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", and the orchestration in "Good Night".

Within the recording industry, Martin is noted for going independent at a time when many producers were still salaried staff A+R men — which he was until The Beatles' success gave him the leverage to start, in 1965, Associated Independent Recording (and hire out his own services to those artists that requested him). This arrangement not only demonstrated how important Martin's talents were considered to be by his artists, but also allowed him to take part in the share of record royalties on his hits. Today, Martin's AIR Studios remains one of the world's preeminent recording studios. Many Academy Award–winning films and Grammy-winning songs have been recorded at AIR.

He is also a renowned composer; he scored the Beatles' film Yellow Submarine and the James Bond film Live And Let Die, for which Paul McCartney wrote and sang the title song. Martin also worked with Gary Glitter before he was famous and recorded several songs with him in the 1960s under the name of "Paul Raven". Though none of these were major hits they later became collectable after Glitter became a star in the 1970s.
