  • čas pƙidĂĄn 27. 07. 2024
  • 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.

    Dear music matters,
    I am one of the people who really enjoy these kind of videos, but I have a little request to make if it’s possible. I am visually impaired. So if you can play the melody instead of showing it on the board as well, this would be very helpful to me to understand what you are talking about. Thank you for your effort

    • @MusicMattersGB

    I absolutely love this. Because this is pure composition. Not hearing it, but following rules. Nowadays, every man and his dog is composing on apps just by listening and playing around. I mean, it works, but, this goes to show if you know the basics, you dont need the gimmicks.

      Glad you’re enjoying it. We might as well embrace all that technology offers but there’s certainly no substitute for technique and, in my view, technique assists creativity.

    Amazing how following the rules achieves such a musical result. Found your basic harmony video yesterday and it took me right back to O-level music. Can't believe how much I remembered! This one obviously takes it up a notch, but I could almost see where you were going. And for once, as an alto, I was grateful for the f repeated notes. Many thanks 😊

      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

    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))!

    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!

    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!

    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
      @MusicMattersGB  Pƙed 3 lety +2

      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.

    • @MusicMattersGB

      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.

    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.

    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).
