The song was originally titled âWishing Stoneâ and began life on a rainy Tuesday night at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Noel had planned to sing the track himself, but eventually gave it to Liam, whose vocals on the track producer Owen Morris hailed as ârasping blues, like heâs smoked 100 cigarettes.â.
Basso continuo refers to a continuous bass line with improvised harmonies in Baroque period music. The term can also refer to the instruments that play the bass line and harmonies. Basso continuo performers play, or realize, a variety of abbreviated music notation symbols called figured bass.
A whole consort constitutes instruments of one sort (for instance, a consort of viols); a broken consort is made up of instruments of different sorts. Continuo: the part played, in Baroque music, by a bass instrument and keyboard. Generally, only the bass line is written out, with the harmonics indicated by means of chord numbers, which the keyboard player fills in and decorates in appropriate style.
