}} "Money" is a song by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd from their 1973 album ''The Dark Side of the Moon''. Written by Roger Waters, it opened side two of the LP. Released as a single, it became the band's first hit in the US, reaching No. 10 in Cashbox magazine and No. 13 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "Money" is noted for its unusual 7/4–4/4 time signature, and the tape loop of money-related sound effects (such as a ringing cash register and a jingle of coins) that is heard periodically throughout the song. ==Composition== Roger Waters and David Gilmour stated that the song had been composed primarily in 7/8 time;〔Classic Albums: ''Pink Floyd – The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon'' (DVD), 2003.〕 it was composed in 7/4,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon )〕 according to Gilmour in an interview with ''Guitar World'' magazine in 1993.〔(''Guitar World'', February 1993 ).

Retrieved on 3 November 2008.〕 The song changes to 4/4 time for an extended guitar solo. The first of three choruses which comprise the solo was recorded using real-time double tracking. Gilmour played the chorus nearly identically in two passes recorded to two different tracks of a multi-track tape machine. The second chorus is a single guitar. The doubled effect for the third chorus was created using automatic (or "artificial") double-tracking (ADT).〔 One of Gilmour's ideas for the solo section was that, for the second chorus of the solo, all reverb and echo effects would be completely off (referred to as "dry"), creating the sense of just four musicians playing in a small room. For this "dry" chorus, all musicians played softly and subtly, with Gilmour's solo, now one single guitar, playing very sparsely. Then, for the third chorus, the dynamics would suddenly rise, with heavy use of reverb and echo (a "wet" sound), additional rhythm-guitar parts in the background, and the drums becoming heavy and almost chaotic.〔''Classic Albums: Pink Floyd – The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon''〕 The form and chord progression are based on the standard twelve-bar blues in the key of B minor, with the vocal melody and nearly all of Gilmour's soloing based on the pentatonic and blues scales.〔''Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon'' (1973 Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd., London, England, ISBN 0-7119-1028-6 (ISBN 0-8256-1078-8 ))〕 Two twelve-bar verses are followed by a twenty-bar instrumental section that features a blues-style tenor saxophone solo (played by Dick Parry) along with keyboard, bass and drums and a further two-bar intro in 4/4 leading to the guitar solo, which is structured like a twelve-bar blues, but doubled to a twenty-four-bar length.〔''Guitar for the Practicing Musician'' magazine, ''Collector's Yearbook: Guitar Classics VI'', Cherry Lane Music Company, Inc., 10 Midland Avenue, Port Chester, N.Y., 10573-1490. ISSN 1061-4400.〕 The lyrics are briefly referenced in the film ''Pink Floyd – The Wall'', when the protagonist, Pink, is caught writing poems in class by his teacher. The teacher snatches the poem book from him and reads it in a very sarcastic, demeaning manner, practically encouraging Pink's classmates to laugh. The poem is a verse of lyrics to "Money".〔Pink Floyd – The Wall DVD, Columbia Music Video, 550 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y., 10022-3211, ISBN 0-7389-0002-8〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Money (Pink Floyd song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
