Since there’s some confusion: When I say G-major 7 I mean G7 / Dominant 7, not G-major with a major 7 (Gmaj7). All 7-chords in this video are dominant 7 chords, there’s not a single major 7. The reason I tried to avoid Dominant7 and other functional terms is because ppl without a theory background don’t know what that is. So the major is simply referring to the chord, not the 7. Additionally, in Germany (where I first learned about harmony), we don't use the same word for the chord and the intervals. Chords are classified as Dur and Moll whereas intervals are classified with major and minor. Old habits and all...

Just purchased the MIDI. 🙂 PS: The alt version of the Minor V where you land on Eb major - what a really cool feeling of "pleasant surprise" whenever the melody starts without the chord even changing. (Felt like the "5" and it's suddenly the "1".) Mind blown!

The 5-6 chord is in jazz parlance a tritone substitution for the dominant of the new key. For those that like to think of it that way. In this case I find the classical theoretical explanation for the 5-6 more convoluted than the jazz theoretical explanation for the tritone sub. Just goes to show there are always multiple ways of think about music theory.
@johanneschristopherstahle3395 Жыл бұрын
Of course there is. And I think it is a good thing that nowadays you can use the simple explanation. Sometimes it can be fun to analyze the function of each chord. In other cases it's just enough to know that it will work when you use it that way.

german 5-6 chord hab ich noch nie gehört. Im Jazz nennen wir das Tritonus-Substitution (weil der Dominatseptakkord mit #11 die gleichen Töne hat, wie der gleiche Akkord um 1 Tritonus versetzt, nur einen anderen Namen/Basston) In meiner Hochschule nannten wir das Rückung im Unterschied zu Modulation, wenn kein "Modulator"-Akkord zwischen Ausgangs- und Zieltonart stand.

That German 5-6 chord approach is just a straight-up tritone substitution. For a little extra spice, you can flatten the 5th to give it more of an altered dominant sound and provide a shared tone between pivot and destination. :) Jazz musicians are very familiar with that technique.

The German 5-6 chord is basically tritone substitution (take a V7-I, then move the V7 a tritone up/down), which people are probably more familiar with. Also, you can alter the dom7 further (#5 / b9) and it will still work. But with nice voice leading you can make anything work. Plus indeed, it's the 21st century so who cares :). Unrelated but: as far as I'm concerned, no make-up is much preferred, you can save time, money, and the planet! (plastic packaging...)

With harmony, humanity invented the first synthesizer. A compound wave generator based on additive synthesis. All musical notes are stable, consonant sound waves. The additive synthesis of several musical notes can generate equally consonant sound waves, but also unstable, tense sound waves, with internal conflicts, like the diabolus in music of the tritone. This harmonic expulsion from the paradise of melodic consonance is the founding event of complex musical systems.

Great info! Maybe it's just my inner jazz musician, but shifting into a new key with ii-V-I has always worked well for me. It works especially well for modulating by thirds. Disney has lots of great examples of this. Gear change! Made me laugh. I think we called it a phrase modulation when I studied, though it was implied that the modulation occurred at the beginning of the new phrase.

Regarding Direct Modulation (that's what we called your 'truck driver's shift' in conservatory)... I think your opening remark defining modulation as 'changing the key' sort of settles the debate about modulation. I think the debate isn't about what modulation is, but rather about what 'smooth' modulation is. Some direct modulations are inherently smooth, like you said regarding related tones, etc. and some direct modulations are not smooth at all. But I don't think modulation really needs to have any perquisites to be modulation. Direct modulation is certainly efficient, and I have used it on occasion to just get somewhere new... right now. It's not like the music stops and then starts again. The key is truly being changed within the context of a singular musical moment. I think your opening definition nails it pretty well. I've been loving your videos! You have a lot of no-nonsense content on here and your writing is very polished.
