Күн бұрын

Harmonizing a melody using chromatic chords and advanced harmonic techniques to effect modulation to extreme keys. The melody to be harmonized includes an extreme modulation from Eb to B major before travelling back to Eb major. This music theory lesson demonstrates step by step the most effective ways to complete the harmony, using augmented 6th chords, secondary dominants, diminished 7ths, borrowed chords and chromatically altered extended chords. The harmonization also includes the use of enharmonic equivalents as pivot notes in modulation. By the end of this music theory lesson you will know how to harmonize melodies using sophisticated chords, chromatic notes, and modulation to extreme keys.

I like how you use the British way of describing the harmonic inversions instead of the inferior American and European figured bass!!! You can actually employ numerous pivot chords in tritone modulations, so for example the flat supertonic of C major/a minor becomes chord Vb in G flat/F sharp major/e flat/d sharp minor and the tritone substitution in dominant sevenths between the keys! Another example is employing five-part dominant minor ninths so for instance in a minor the ascending notes E, D, F, G sharp, B is transformed to e flat minor with B flat, D, F, A fat, C flat with only the bass note moving . Or a dominant major ninth in C major, (G, B, D, F, A) to a dominant minor thirteenth in f sharp minor, (C sharp, B, D, E sharp, A), (which can also be done via a dominant minor eleventh in a minor, (E, B, D, F, A))!

if you listen or learn stairway to heaven... The lowest notes of each chord are descending chromatically A min...G# aug, C Maj ( G 5th) ...D Maj/F#...FMaj7..G Maj. A min That's becuase the vi and vii chord of A melodic min are dim. F Maj F#dim G Maj G# dim A min The Outro solo...Basically the samething ( just in a different PITCH/key B min/D Major...( it's just the arpeggios are being played backwards.) B min...A# dim A Maj G# dim G Maj F# #2, #5 or F# b3, b6 E min F Maj it's just on the SECOND HALF of the scale. You can trying insert a dim chord tween D doiran D# dim E phryigan C Maj C# dim D min A min A#dim into B minor....C Maj...D # dim Dmin it'll be sort of the same thing D min...D#dim E min F maj F# dim G Maj... In other words...the note degree that's NOT in the MAJOR scale. b2, b3, b5, b6, b7.....insert them as diminished. Or Later on you could sub the N6 with a minor chord... example....A Harmonic min b2 ( Bb Lydian #6) Bb Maj.... Bb lydian #2, #6.....in a nutshell....use that as a pivot minor chord. Bb min....Eb min F Min ( simple 1, 4, 5 in minor) The F min..is lydian b3 or iv of C Harmonic MAJOR or F lydian #2 of A Harmonic min) Bb min....Eb min F min G7 into C MAJOR different cadence.... or Bb min as phryian chord.... Bb min Eb MINOR...Ab min G7 into C Maj. or Bb min as dorian ish...........Bb min Eb7 Ab MAJ G7 into C MAJOR or Bb min as dorian b2 Bb min Eb7 Ab min G7 into C MAJOR or Bb min C min F min/AbMaj G7 into C MAJOR or sub the Bb with Maj..as different 1 or 4 or 5 chord ( keep it simple) Bb Maj Eb maj F Maj G7 into C MAJOR...ect Bb Maj Eb MAJ Ab Maj G7 into C MAJOR Bb Maj C Maj F Maj G7 into C MAJOR

Thanks. That's the best video of your's that I've seen. Very interesting. Coming from a jazz background I think of things a little differently yet I'd have come to some of the same conclusions. In particular the Bb7b9 that you mentioned but didn't use (nearly - you just omitted out the root) and your augmented 6th chord which I think about completely differently. I'd call it a B7 and justify it as a b5 substitute of an F7 - secondary dominant of the Bb chord Both B7 and F7 contain the same, though enharmonically different, tritone - therefore can be interchanged.

Excellent presentation of how to travel between two distant and seemingly unrelated keys. But there was a missed opportunity for one more wonderful suspension: from the last Ab in the Alto / measure 5, to a 4-3 (Ab-G) suspension in measure 6. Ahhhh! That would have been a very satisfying conclusion to a rich harmonic progression!

Excellent - worth watching more than once I think. Is it always important to use the "correct" notation - with - for example A sharp written rather than B flat? In other words I guess always trying to write notes with an assumed key - there are several examples in this video. People who write by trying out ideas at a keyboard may use enharmonically equivalent notation - perhaps because they don't quite know what they are doing - or are not working within reference keys. Thank you - this is brilliant!

Your way of explaining is really admirable! Congratulations for the good work. But i have a objection for the dim7 chord on the end of 2d bar. Tenor sings F-->Eb and Soprano sings Cb-->Bb (2d to 3d bar). As far as i know it is considered parallel 5ths for the shake of conventional harmony. So it is considered a mistake (i know that perfect 5th going to diminished fifth is allowed, but diminished fifth going to perfect fifth is still considered parallel fifths).

Thanks Gareth for another video! You mentioned suspensions. Is 9-8 suspension the same as 2-1 suspension ? The interval between Ab to Bb is a second interval. Am I right ? Thanks!

@MusicMattersGB 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. A 9-8 is effectively the same as a 2-1. We generally label it 9-8 because 2 usually signifies a suspension in the bass.

@khiemngo1098 3 жыл бұрын

I have a related question: Per my research, suspensions seem to be limited to 9-8, 7-6, 4-3, and 2-3. Could we have a suspension in 8-7, 6-5, 5-4, and 3-2 ? Many thanks, Gareth!

@MusicMattersGB 3 жыл бұрын

Your examples in the first list are accurate. The second list is unlikely because the note of resolution ends up being dissonant and you need the resolution note to be consonant.

2nd last bar: 1C to V7, you added E & C# in the alto and tenor voices, how do you name these non chord notes?

@MusicMattersGB 2 жыл бұрын

This is in the context of a 6/4 5/3 progression. That progression can be decorated by moving to the note below the note of resolution before the resolution note. In this case I’m doing that and including chromatic alteration.

Question: Why use letters for inversions rather than the figured bass style numerals? Is it preference?

@MusicMattersGB 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. Both systems are in common use although some countries prefer one over the other.

What is the difference between a 9-8 suspension and a 2-1 suspension?

@MusicMattersGB 4 жыл бұрын

They are essentially the same thing but we tend to use 2 when the Bass note is suspended and 9 for notes suspended above the Bass.

Hey, i would really like to dive into this stuff, harmony is my favorite thing about music and im a songwriter, i just dont like chords in the scale, for me they sound so predictable and kinda lame and i love more experimental harmony that actually sounds good and consonant, can you recommend me a book to study and know to do these types of chromatic harmonization? thanks!
