  • Key Relationships in Music
    LearnMusicTheory.net 3.3 Types of Key Relationships The following five types of key relationships are in order from closest relation to weakest relation. 1. Enharmonic Keys Enharmonic keys are spelled differently but sound the same, just like enharmonic notes. = C# major Db major 2. Parallel Keys Parallel keys share a tonic, but have different key signatures. One will be minor and one major. D minor is the parallel minor of D major. D major D minor 3. Relative Keys Relative keys share a key signature, but have different tonics. One will be minor and one major. Remember: Relatives "look alike" at a family reunion, and relative keys "look alike" in their signatures! E minor is the relative minor of G major. G major E minor 4. Closely-related Keys Any key will have 5 closely-related keys. A closely-related key is a key that differs from a given key by at most one sharp or flat. There are two easy ways to find closely related keys, as shown below. Given key: D major, 2 #s One less sharp: One more sharp: METHOD 1: Same key sig: Add and subtract one sharp/flat, and take the relative keys (minor/major) G major E minor B minor A major F# minor (also relative OR to D major) METHOD 2: Take all the major and minor triads in the given key (only) D major E minor F minor G major A major B minor X as tonic chords # (C# diminished for other keys. is not a key!) 5. Foreign Keys (or Distantly-related Keys) A foreign key is any key that is not enharmonic, parallel, relative, or closely-related.

    X ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL X SEATTLE X 9 APRIL 2021 X 6:30 PM X MUSICAL PRAYER mark hilliard wilson St. James Cathedral Guitarist Notes by Mark Hilliard Wilson Renewal and Redemption, Part 2 We are now at the one-year anniversary of the weekly Musical Prayer at Saint James Cathedral and I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts and music here at St. James. It’s been a very tough year in so many ways. Last year’s theme for the first musical prayer was “Renewal,” and tonight, I play an updated program with the added theme of redemption. More and more people are getting vaccinated which means we are getting closer and closer to a chance to actually meet in person. Longer days, occasionally even warm ones, and a sense of a more predictable course of action with our government feels like a collective lowering of the blood pressure. My program is a celebration of our ability to navigate hard times. It’s been a tough year and I’ve chosen music that reflects vehicles of renewal, whether found in prayer Oracion( de la Mañana), or nature (Wild Mountain Thyme), in reflection Charme( de la nuit), or even dance! (Thoor Ballylee, it’s like a jig, but is actually a celebration of the castle the poet Yeats lived in for a few years with his family). Oracion de la Mañana, Op. 39, No. 1 “Morning Prayer” Pyotr Tchaikovsky 1840–1893 transcribed by María Luisa Anido A prayer for tomorrow speaks for itself. Keep Praying! It seems like it's worked!

  • 1. Charles Ives's Four Ragtime Dances and “True American Music”
    37076_u01.qxd 3/21/08 5:35 PM Page 17 1. Charles Ives’s Four Ragtime Dances and “True American Music” Someone is quoted as saying that “ragtime is the true American music.” Anyone will admit that it is one of the many true, natural, and, nowadays, conventional means of expression. It is an idiom, perhaps a “set or series of colloquialisms,” similar to those that have added through centuries and through natural means some beauty to all languages. Ragtime has its possibilities. But it does not “represent the American nation” any more than some fine old senators represent it. Perhaps we know it now as an ore before it has been refined into a product. It may be one of nature’s ways of giving art raw material. Time will throw its vices away and weld its virtues into the fabric of our music. It has its uses, as the cruet on the boarding-house table has, but to make a meal of tomato ketchup and horse-radish, to plant a whole farm with sunflowers, even to put a sunflower into every bouquet, would be calling nature something worse than a politician. charles ives, Essays Before a Sonata Today, more than a century after its introduction, the music of ragtime is often regarded with nostalgia as a quaint, polite, antiquated music, but when it burst on the national scene in the late 1890s, its catchy melodies and en- ergetic rhythms sparked both delight and controversy. One of the many fruits of African American musical innovation, this style of popular music captivated the nation through the World War I era with its distinctive, syn- copated rhythms that enlivened solo piano music, arrangements for bands and orchestras, ballroom numbers, and countless popular songs.

  • Scott Joplin American Ragtime Pianist and Composer (1867 Or 1868 - 1917)
    Scott Joplin American Ragtime Pianist and Composer (1867 or 1868 - 1917) Scott Joplin was born in Texarkana, Texas around 1868, and was one of six kids. Texas is the home of long horn steer, BBQ, and everything big! Both of Scott Joplin's parents were musicians. His father played the violin at parties in North Carolina and his mother sang and played the banjo. His parents gave Scott a basic musical education, and at seven years old he began teaching himself to play the piano while his mother cleaned houses. As a boy Joplin loved to play the piano and practiced every day after school.
