  • Naming a Chord Once You Know the Common Names of the Intervals, the Naming of Chords Is a Little Less Daunting
    Naming a Chord Once you know the common names of the intervals, the naming of chords is a little less daunting. Still, there are a few conventions and short-hand terms that many musicians use, that may be confusing at times. A few terms are used throughout the maze of chord names, and it is good to know what they refer to: Major / Minor – a “minor” note is one half step below the “major.” When naming intervals, all but the “perfect” intervals (1,4, 5, 8) are either major or minor. Generally if neither word is used, major is assumed, unless the situation is obvious. However, when used in naming extended chords, the word “minor” usually is reserved to indicate that the third of the triad is flatted. The word “major” is reserved to designate the major seventh interval as opposed to the minor or dominant seventh. It is assumed that the third is major, unless the word “minor” is said, right after the letter name of the chord. Similarly, in a seventh chord, the seventh interval is assumed to be a minor seventh (aka “dominant seventh), unless the word “major” comes right before the word “seventh.” Thus a common “C7” would mean a C major triad with a dominant seventh (CEGBb) While a “Cmaj7” (or CM7) would mean a C major triad with the major seventh interval added (CEGB), And a “Cmin7” (or Cm7) would mean a C minor triad with a dominant seventh interval added (CEbGBb) The dissonant “Cm(M7)” – “C minor major seventh” is fairly uncommon outside of modern jazz: it would mean a C minor triad with the major seventh interval added (CEbGB) Suspended – To suspend a note would mean to raise it up a half step.

  • A Group-Theoretical Classification of Three-Tone and Four-Tone Harmonic Chords3
    A GROUP-THEORETICAL CLASSIFICATION OF THREE-TONE AND FOUR-TONE HARMONIC CHORDS JASON K.C. POLAK Abstract. We classify three-tone and four-tone chords based on subgroups of the symmetric group acting on chords contained within a twelve-tone scale. The actions are inversion, major- minor duality, and augmented-diminished duality. These actions correspond to elements of symmetric groups, and also correspond directly to intuitive concepts in the harmony theory of music. We produce a graph of how these actions relate different seventh chords that suggests a concept of distance in the theory of harmony. Contents 1. Introduction 1 Acknowledgements 2 2. Three-tone harmonic chords 2 3. Four-tone harmonic chords 4 4. The chord graph 6 References 8 References 8 1. Introduction Early on in music theory we learn of the harmonic triads: major, minor, augmented, and diminished. Later on we find out about four-note chords such as seventh chords. We wish to describe a classification of these types of chords using the action of the finite symmetric groups. We represent notes by a number in the set Z/12 = {0, 1, 2,..., 10, 11}. Under this scheme, for example, 0 represents C, 1 represents C♯, 2 represents D, and so on. We consider only pitch classes modulo the octave. arXiv:2007.03134v1 [math.GR] 6 Jul 2020 We describe the sounding of simultaneous notes by an ordered increasing list of integers in Z/12 surrounded by parentheses. For example, a major second interval M2 would be repre- sented by (0, 2), and a major chord would be represented by (0, 4, 7).

  • Many of Us Are Familiar with Popular Major Chord Progressions Like I–IV–V–I
    Many of us are familiar with popular major chord progressions like I–IV–V–I. Now it’s time to delve into the exciting world of minor chords. Minor scales give flavor and emotion to a song, adding a level of musical depth that can make a mediocre song moving and distinct from others. Because so many of our favorite songs are in major keys, those that are in minor keys1 can stand out, and some musical styles like rock or ​ ​ jazz thrive on complex minor scales and harmonic wizardry. Minor chord progressions generally contain richer harmonic possibilities than the typical major progressions. Minor key songs frequently modulate to major and back to minor. Sometimes the same chord can appear as major and minor in the very same song! But this heady harmonic mix is nothing to be afraid of. By the end of this article, you’ll not only understand how minor chords are made, but you’ll know some common minor chord progressions, how to write them, and how to use them in your own music. With enough listening practice, you’ll be able to recognize minor chord progressions in songs almost instantly! Table of Contents: 1. A Tale of Two Tonalities 2. Major or Minor? 3.

  • Arpeggios - Defined & Application an Arpeggio Is the Notes of a Chord Played Individually
    Arpeggios - Defined & Application An arpeggio is the notes of a chord played individually. You can get creative with arpeggios and generate all kinds of unique sounds. Arpeggios can be utilized to outline chords, create melody lines, build riffs, add notes for color, and much more - the sky is the limit! KEY POINTS: There are a few key points to consider when playing arpeggios. The first is you want to hear the arpeggio one note at a time. You don’t want the arpeggio to sound like a strummed chord. You want to hear each note of the arpeggio individually. Arpeggios are the notes that make The goal is to infer the color of the chord with the arpeggio. Kill each note after it is played by muting the strings so the notes dont bleed into each up a chord. other. Another key to good arpeggio playing is mixing arpeggios together with scales, modes, and licks. Mix them into your lead lines as per the video lessons from this course. Try creating musical phrases combining Be sure to sound arpeggios with scales and licks. each note of the arpeggio Another key point is knowing where the arpeggios “live” within a scale. You want to be able to grab arpeggios quickly. Over utilizing the same individually. You three note triads up and down the neck can often sound a bit sterile and don’t want the non-melodic. So be sure to mix the arpeggio in with other scales and licks. arpeggio to sound Often when playing arpeggios you may need to utilize the same finger for like a strummed two or more adjacent strings.

The two- page songs were moved so they could be seen at the same time when the book is open flat. There is a table of contents to point you to the right page for a song. S.N. stands for Starting Note - the 1st note of the melody. It is at the top of each song along with the time signature and other information. N.C. stands for NO CHORD. Don’t play chords during the lyric section with this abbreviation over the phrase. “Ritard.” Ritardando —slowing down (abbreviation: rit. or ritard.) This symbol is used at the end of a number of songs and usually means: give each bar or word of the phrase designated twice the normal length – 4 beats, vs. 2. Used as an ending to some songs. A Coda is a symbol used to show the concluding passage of a piece or movement, it is used as a directional sign on a few pages. Repeat Symbols: ||: :|| Anything between these two symbols are repeated – usually at the end of a song – to indicate that we repeat the last line on or more times to end the song.

  • When the Leading Tone Doesn't Lead: Musical Qualia in Context
    When the Leading Tone Doesn't Lead: Musical Qualia in Context Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Claire Arthur, B.Mus., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: David Huron, Advisor David Clampitt Anna Gawboy c Copyright by Claire Arthur 2016 Abstract An empirical investigation is made of musical qualia in context. Specifically, scale-degree qualia are evaluated in relation to a local harmonic context, and rhythm qualia are evaluated in relation to a metrical context. After reviewing some of the philosophical background on qualia, and briefly reviewing some theories of musical qualia, three studies are presented. The first builds on Huron's (2006) theory of statistical or implicit learning and melodic probability as significant contributors to musical qualia. Prior statistical models of melodic expectation have focused on the distribution of pitches in melodies, or on their first-order likelihoods as predictors of melodic continuation. Since most Western music is non-monophonic, this first study investigates whether melodic probabilities are altered when the underlying harmonic accompaniment is taken into consideration. This project was carried out by building and analyzing a corpus of classical music containing harmonic analyses. Analysis of the data found that harmony was a significant predictor of scale-degree continuation. In addition, two experiments were carried out to test the perceptual effects of context on musical qualia. In the first experiment participants rated the perceived qualia of individual scale-degrees following various common four-chord progressions that each ended with a different harmony.

Recent evidence suggests that when listening to Western music, subjects cross- culturally experience similar emotions. However, we do not know whether cross-cultural regularities in affect response to music also emerge when listening to the building blocks of Western music, such as major and minor chords. In Western music, major chords are associated with happiness, a basic pan-human emotion, but the relation has not been tested in a remote non- Western setting. Here we address this question by measuring the relation between (i) listening to major and minor chords in major and minor keys and (ii) self-reported happiness in a remote society of native Amazonian hunters, gatherers, and farmers in Bolivia (Tsimane’).

  • Secondary Leading Tone Chords the Most Typical Way to Tonicize a Major
    Secondary Leading Tone Chords The most typical way to tonicize a major or minor chord (NOT a diminished chord!) is to approach/precede it with a secondary dominant. Approaching a chord (such as a ii, iii, IV, V or vi) with its own relative dominant emulates the recognizable and strong push that a regular V has as it moves to I. So when a V/V goes to V (as it should), the V chord is arrived at in an emphasized way, and the V/V chord stands out because it has a chromatic note in it–that musical moment stands out in the texture. But similar to V (or V7) moving to I (or a V/V moving to V) is when viio moves to I. Recall that viio can act as a substitute for V(7); viio is also, in fact, a type of dominant-functioning chord. Because viio also functions as a dominant, it can function as a secondary dominant, and tonicize a chord a half-step above it–in the same way that viio resolves to I up a half- step. In that capacity, we call it a secondary leading tone chord. In as much as there can be a V/V, or a V7/V, there can be a viio/V (or viio/anything). (There can even be a viio7/V, or a viiø7/V, but we’ll just focus on the triad version...). Just as a V/V is built off a root a 4th below the V chord, a viio/V is built off a root a half-step below the V chord.

  • 1 GET STARTED PLAYING ARPEGGIOS -Written
    GET STARTED PLAYING ARPEGGIOS -written by David Taub Lets get started with a few basic arpeggios. Arpeggios are notes of a certain chord or scale usually played quickly one after another instead of strummed all at once. Arpeggios are the notes that make up chords, but played individually, or one at a time. Many times they are played from the lowest sounding note to the highest sounding note. Arpeggios are quite useful as they can be utilized throughout your soloing and improvisational lead lines, you can build riffs out of them, or create melody lines with them - the sky is the limit! I have found the key to being able to phrase your arpeggios fluidly into your playing is being able to grab them quickly – knowing where they are at and what scales they live in so to speak. So in this lesson and the ones right after this, we will examine arpeggios that have first finger roots or pinky roots on the 6 th , 5 th , or 4 th strings. I have found students are able to grasp these the fastest and insert them fluidly into their playing. You certainly want to learn the arpeggio in all positions, much like your scales, but to get started these are what I have found students grab the fastest. Another key to good arpeggio playing is mixing them in with your scales, modes, and riffs – not necessarily just playing a certain arpeggio up and down and up and down in full as that can get very sterile after a while. So try and mix them together with your modal or other scalar lead lines, that’s how they sound best in my opinion – mixed in.
