That A-9 chord on measure 23 has always hit me just right. Takes me right back to being seven years old, jumping off the couch pretending to be Superman..

Is a very “leaping” chord. Very nice.

Funny because it should actually be labeled Fmaj9(#11)

Yes! It has the same purpose as the chord that goes just before repeating the main theme of "Raiders March", from Indiana Jones. The Williams seal.😊

He will be looked back on like we look back on the greatest composers in history. He's a living legend.

I've always loved the chromatic chaos at the end! Great to see it finally written on a score. Thank yo for all the work on this.

This takes me right back to hearing the theme tune in full surround sound at my local Odeon cinema multiplex last April for the 45th anniversary. Absolutely epic!

I think that famous Am9 chord you have in bar 23 would be better described as a Fmaj7,11,b13. It's the tritone of the F and the B that give it the punch, I think, while the major 7 and 11 soften it.

@tritono666 Жыл бұрын

I agree on the root being F rather than A. But why b13? I dont see a D or Db. Fmaj7,9,11 seems right to me

@@tritono666 I think we're both wrong! Thinking about it again, it should be a Fmaj7,9¡#11. The #11 being the B natural in the melody.

I've never seen anything like this before, wow! Apparently a lot of room for interpretation, based on the comments.

It's nice to see a reduced score! But the 'analysis' of the chords is really lousy throughout. There's no contextual understanding of how the chords function, and in many cases, even the simplest chords are 'analyzed' completely incorrectly - a glaring example (one on many I could mention) is the striking chord on the downbeat of bar 23 (and again bar 24) - which is 'analyzed' as an a-9 (?!?) - as is if the clearly and crucial subdominant bass note (F) doesn't even exist. This chord is clearly a move to the subdominant (F major) in the key of C, and would be correctly identified as a F major 11, without a doubt...

Those modal scale are completely incorrect assuming the bass, there is no locrian or phygian effect but just going from a melodic degree of the tone from another

@nmkmusic6396 Жыл бұрын

Where exactly are you seeing these modal scales?

@RisitasSmash Жыл бұрын

E Phrygian Scale at 1:33 for example. It does absolutely not contain the ethos of the mode because of the tonal context. And all other melodic analysis are kinda weird but your work is great.
