  2. 2In the [blank_start]1970s[blank_end] a new style of music known as disco developed in the bustling city of [blank_start]New York[blank_end]. This was initially started by DJs in night clubs called [blank_start]discotheques[blank_end]. The style quickly became very popular spreading across the USA and further afield to mainland Europe. Some films were even made which featured disco music, the most notable being Saturday Night Fever and featured many hit songs recorded by the [blank_start]BeeGees[blank_end]. Other bands who were also popular in this period were [blank_start]Donna Summer[blank_end] and the [blank_start]Village People[blank_end].
    Disco music has very specific features which give it the upbeat style.

    RHYTHM AND TEMPO
    - It is in a [blank_start]4/4[blank_end] metre
    - The tempo is always quite [blank_start]steady[blank_end] (typically [blank_start]120[blank_end]BPM)
    - The drums use a [blank_start]four-to-the-floor[blank_end] pattern (a kick drum that accents every [blank_start]crotchet[blank_end] beat, a [blank_start]snare[blank_end] drum that plays on every backbeat and a steady [blank_start]quaver[blank_end] pattern performed by the [blank_start]hi hat[blank_end]).

    MELODY
    - The melody is generally performed by a vocalist who sings a melody in regular [blank_start]four[blank_end] bar phrases
    - A [blank_start]hook[blank_end] (a catchy motif) is repeated throughout the song to remind the listener of the upcoming chorus.

    STRUCTURE
    Disco music has a verse-chorus type structure which uses:
    1. [blank_start]Verses[blank_end] - A section of music where the music stays the same but the lyrics change
    2. [blank_start]Chorus[blank_end] - A section of music where the music and lyrics stay the same
    3. [blank_start]Middle 8[blank_end] - A contrasting section that links a chorus and a verse
    4. [blank_start]Introduction[blank_end] - Music to begin the piece
    5. [blank_start]Fade out[blank_end] - DJs typically would never end a song but turn the volume down to prepare for the next song

    INSTRUMENT AND ROLES
    [blank_start]Solo singer[blank_end] - melody
    [blank_start]Backing singers[blank_end] - support the lead singer, particularly in the chorus
    [blank_start]Electric guitar and piano[blank_end] - provide harmony for the group
    [blank_start]Brass[blank_end] - provides the countermelodies and/or harmony
    [blank_start]Strings[blank_end] (often synthesised sounds) but these would provide the countermelodies to the main melody
    Drum kit or [blank_start]Drum machine[blank_end] - provides the rhythm section
