(Os Queen lançaram em 31 out 1975 este Bohemian Rhapsody) Bohemian Rhapsody is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the bands 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song has no chorus, instead consisting of four main parts: a ballad segment ending with a guitar solo, an operatic passage, and a hard rock section. At the time, it was the most expensive single ever made and remains one of the most elaborate recordings in popular music history. Freddie Mercury wrote most of Bohemian Rhapsody at his home in Holland Road, Kensington, in west London. The songs producer, Roy Thomas Baker, related how Mercury once played the opening ballad section on the piano for him: He played the beginning on the piano, then stopped and said, And this is where the opera section comes in! Then we went out to eat dinner. Guitarist Brian May says the band thought that Mercurys blueprint for the song was intriguing and original, and worthy of work. Much of Queens material was written in the studio according to May, but this song was all in Freddies mind before they started. Music scholar Sheila Whiteley suggests that the title draws strongly on contemporary rock ideology, the individualism of the bohemian artists world, with rhapsody affirming the romantic ideals of art rock. Commenting on bohemianism, Judith Peraino said that Mercury intended... [this song] to be a mock opera, something outside the norm of rock songs, and it does follow a certain operatic logic: choruses of multi-tracked voices alternate with aria-like solos.
