www.MyGuitarLessons.co.uk Exotic Scales in A Many of these scales are used in classical and metal guitar playing. We have tabbed and noted them in the key of A, but they are transposable. Take your time with each one and gradually build up the speed. Phrygian Dominant Scale The most famous exotic scale, and one of the best sounds of metal. It is a very dramatic scale. The A Phrygian Dominant scale has the following notes into it: A Bb C# D E F G. Note how the scale contains the note of the A major chord (A C# E) indicating that you can play this scale on any major chord with the same root. This pattern repeats every two strings. We have indicated the left hand fingers to use above the score (1-index, 2-middle, 3-ring, 4-pinky). On the 5th string, you slide up with your index finger r pinkie to continue the scale. Approved To Teach With My Guitar Lessons. 1 Lydian Scale A favourite of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and John Petrucci (Dream Theater). The A Lydian scale, that we see here, is made by the notes: A B C# D# E F# G#. As the Phrygian Dominant scale, the Lydian scale contains an A major chord, but their sound is completely different. Hungarian Minor Scale Less used than the previous ones, it’s still a favourite of many players for its exotic oriental sound. The A Hungarian Minor scale is made by the notes A B C D# E F G#. Contrary to the previous two scales, the Hungarian Minor contains an A minor chord (A C E) rather than an A major chord. The pattern shown here requires a bit of stretch to be played, but it’s very easy to remember and to speed it up. Approved To Teach With My Guitar Lessons. 2 Diminished Scale The diminished scale is different from the other scales presented here in that it has 8 notes rather than 7. The A diminished scale is: A Bb C C# Eb E F# G. The Diminished scale, quite uniquely, contains all of the following: an A major chord (A C# E), an A minor chord (A C E), and an A diminished chord (A C Eb). This means that a diminished scale can potentially fit both a major and a minor chord with the same root. Approved To Teach With My Guitar Lessons. 3.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2013 ONENESS WITHIN THE DIVERSITY OF MUSIC: A SUITE FOR JAZZ CHAMBER ENSEMBLE IN FOUR MOVEMENTS Christian Jinsan Kim, D.M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: John Mills Oneness within the Diversity of Music is a four-movement suite with world music and jazz influences. The suite includes world music elements from Asian folk sources, as well as Hungarian gypsy, Hindustani, Brazilian and Argentine music. The underlying concept – the goal of this suite, is to combine jazz language with world music elements. The musical arrangement of Oneness within the Diversity of Music integrates Asian and jazz styles. Two main styles characterize the musical arrangements throughout the suite: the Asian-influenced style, which incorporates non-harmonized linear melodic lines and multiple counter-lines in unison simultaneously, and the jazz style, with chamber strings, wind section, and piano harmonized using jazz language.

Of Sherlock Holmes's Violin
PALACKÝ UNIVERSITY, OLOMOUC FACULTY OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN STUDIES CONSONANT BUT DISSONANT TO THE (S)CORE: THE NEO-VICTORIAN "AFTERINGS" OF SHERLOCK HOLMES'S VIOLIN DOCTORAL DISSERTATION Author: Mgr. Francesca Battaglia Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Marcel Arbeit, Dr. 2019 ANNOTATION Francesca Battaglia Department of English and American Studies, Faculty of Arts Title: Consonant but Dissonant to the (S)Core: The Neo-Victorian “Afterings” of Sherlock Holmes’s Violin Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Marcel Arbeit, Dr. Language: English Character count: 34756 Entries in bibliography: 166 KEY WORDS adaptation studies, Conan Doyle, detective fiction, film, gender studies, masculinity, music, neo-Victorian studies, psychoanalysis, Sherlock Holmes, tv series, Victorian literature, Victorian studies, violin ABSTRACT By combining neo-Victorian criticism, adaptation studies, musicology and gender studies, this dissertation focuses on the re-presentations of Sherlock Holmes’s violin across media and on the role of music in redefining Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s great detective as a model of masculinity. For the purposes of my dissertation, I take into consideration Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films (2009-11), the BBC television series Sherlock (2010) by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, and the novel A Slight Trick of the Mind (2015) by the American writer Mitch Cullin. All these works are analysed in an interdisciplinary perspective since the violin is examined as both a musical instrument and a literary and cultural symbol. It will become evident that music plays indeed a major role in negotiating gender identities in the transition from the Victorian texts to the postmodern world. ABSTRAKT Tato disertační práce se s využitím neoviktoriánské kritiky, adaptačních studií, muzikologie a genderových studií zaměřuje na nové pohledy na housle Sherlocka Holmese napříč médii a na roli hudby, která předefinovává slavného detektiva, vytvořeného Sirem Arthurem Conanem Doylem, jako vzor mužnosti.

Wojciech Stepien Paper 2009
Wojciech Stępień (Katowice, Poland): Grieg’s uncanny - representations of Scandinavian mythical creatures Freud‟s essay „Das Unheimliche‟ (1919) [The „Uncanny‟] provides a key reference point not only in discussions of art and literature but also of music. The term 'uncanny' means that something frightening “leads back to what is known of old and long familiar” (Freud 1955: 220). This thing is at the same time both very familiar and completely alien for observers or subjects, which renders the uncanny object disorienting and ambiguous. Amongst the most typical examples listed by Freud include human corpses, skeletons, parts of bodies, ghosts and animated spirits (see Freud 1955: 241, 244). Some musicologists (Abbate 2001, Välimäki 2005) have applied successfully the notion of the uncanny to music that represents or depicts topics such as ventriloquism, automatism, doubles and repetitive compulsion. Although the category of the „uncanny‟ in music generally concerns these topics, it can appear also in the harmonic structure of tonal music. Richard Cohn in his article „Uncanny resemblances: Tonal signification in the Freudian age‟ (2004) claims that the best example of „uncanny‟ in tonal music is the harmonic pairing represented in Figure 1 that he labels a „hexatonic pole‟. Fig. 1. „Hexatonic pole‟ – E major and c minor When one of the chords is heard as a tonic, the two chords E major and c minor have a problematic relationship: the first doesn‟t exist in c minor and the second doesn‟t exist in E major (Cohn 2004: 304-306). As Cohn demonstrates, composers very often used „hexatonic poles‟ to express magical, supernatural, metaphysical and mystical categories in music.
