DO IT AGAIN: SEQUENCES IN GERSHWIN AND KERN’S POPULAR SONGS MAXWELL RAMAGE mericans George Gershwin (1898–1937) and Jerome Kern (1885–1945) both A succeeded as Broadway composers but began as “song pluggers” on New York’s Tin Pan Alley.1 Their popular-song output, however, was far from hackwork; indeed, their chromatically inflected, extended tertian harmonies enriched the expressive palette available to song composers at large.2 Gershwin and Kern seem to have influenced one another: Gershwin idolized the elder composer3 and stated that his early songs “paid [Kern] the tribute of frank imitation.”4 Conversely, Howard Pollack hears in Kern’s song “Whip-Poor-Will,” for example, suggestions of Gershwin’s “From Now On.”5 In view of the special regard in which Gershwin held Kern, I will compare and contrast their popular songs.

From "White Christmas" to Sgt. Pepper: The Conceptual Revolution in Popular Music David Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 13308 August 2007 JEL No. J01 ABSTRACT Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and other songwriters of the Golden Era wrote popular songs that treated common topics clearly and simply. During the mid-1960s Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney created a new kind of popular music that was personal and often obscure. This shift, which transformed popular music from an experimental into a conceptual art, produced a distinct change in the creative life cycles of songwriters. Golden Era songwriters were generally at their best during their 30s and 40s, whereas since the mid-'60s popular songwriters have consistently done their best work during their 20s. The revolution in popular music occurred at a time when young innovators were making similar transformations in other arts: Jean-Luc Godard and his fellow New Wave directors created a conceptual revolution in film in the early '60s, just as Andy Warhol and other Pop artists made painting a conceptual activity.

In America, one of the most prominent forms of music in the early 20th century was Jazz. It was (and still is) a characteristically ‘American’ art form, that has its roots in African/American and European styles of music, especially the blues, which bears many of its foundational chord structures (for example, the 1-4-5 progression which was very prevalent in Jazz music and the “blue note”/blues scale, which are used universally in Jazz) (Welchez, 2019). After its preliminary conception, the Jazz idiom began to spread throughout the world and evolve upon meeting different regional and cultural styles of music. The most notable being Bossa Nova, which was conceived in Brazil by such musicians as Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto when they began to merge traditional Brazilian music with Jazz voicings, with the most notable of these being the entirety of the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto in which American tenor saxophonist Stan Getz is featured alongside Brazilian musicians Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Astrud Gilberto.

    Transformations in Tonal Jazz: ii–V Space * Michael McClimon NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: h%p://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.17.23.1/mto.17.23.1.mcclimon.php /E0WO2DS: 3azz, harmony, transformational theory, ii–V–I progression, tritone substitution, 6Ceora,8 69lues for Alice8 A9ST2ACT: This article presents a transformational model of 3azz harmony based on the ii–V–I progression. This progression is fundamental to 3azz harmony, and to its improvised performance. It serves as the foundation for a more rigorous transformational approach, developed in the first two sections here. This approach is easily extensible; the final section suggests a few such extensions. Received September 2016 Volume 23, Number 1, March 201, Copyright © 2017 Society for Music Theory A0.1] Consider the set of chord changes in Figure 1a : the bridge of Jerome /ern and Oscar CammersteinDs 6All the Things 0ou Are.” If we imagine ourselves for the moment to be 3azz improvisers, we might consider approaching this passage in a number of diEerent ways. One approach might be to realize the chord changes as simply as possible ( Figure 1b ), and then to play a melody highlighting these chord tones. Another might notice the eFcient voice-leading implicit in the harmonic structure ( Figure 1c ), and highlight this in our improvisation. A third might instead divide the music into smaller units, each in a single key ( Figure 1d ), and use these units as the basis for an improvised melody. These three techniHues for understanding the changes are all valid, and an experienced musician might move Iuidly among them (and countless others not enumerated here) in the course of an improvisation.

  • Four Studies of Charlie Parker's Compositional Processes
    Four Studies of Charlie Parker’s Compositional Processes Henry Martin NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hp://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.18.24.2/mto.18.24.2.martin.php KEYWORDS: Charlie Parker, jazz, jazz composition, bebop, jazz analysis, “Ornithology,” “Blues (Fast),” “Red Cross,” “My Lile Suede Shoes” ABSTRACT: Charlie Parker has been much appreciated as an improviser, but he was also an important jazz composer, a topic yet to be studied in depth. Parker’s compositions offer insight into his total musicianship as well as provide a summary of early bebop style. Because he left no working manuscripts, we cannot examine his compositions evolving on paper. We do possess occasional single parts for trumpet or alto saxophone of pieces wrien for recording sessions and four Library of Congress lead sheets copied in his hand, and, as an introduction, I show examples of such manuscripts. The article continues by exploring what we can infer about Parker’s compositional processes from those instances where he made revisions to improve or create the final product. In particular, there is one instance of Parker revising a work already completed (“Ornithology”), one instance of Parker combining two pieces by another composer into one of his own (“My Lile Suede Shoes”), and two instances of Parker composing in the studio where we can hear his revisions immediately (“Red Cross” and “Blues (Fast)”). The middle part of the paper explores Parker in these creative seings. Parker’s methods sometimes differ from traditional composition and suggest that we reconsider the usual distinction between improvisation and composition.

  • Passar Dos Limites? Harmonias De Mediante E Repertório Popular No Brasil
    DOI 10.20504/opus2017a2305 Passar dos limites? Harmonias de mediante e repertório popular no Brasil Sérgio Paulo Ribeiro de Freitas (UDESC) Resumo: Harmonias de mediante (digamos, o acorde ou área tonal de Mi maior na tonalidade de Dó maior) são escolhas formais que agregam valor nas disputas que se operam nos domínios da música popular? Para pensar a questão são apresentados breves comentários analíticos que sinalizam que, estimadas como singulares e inovadoras, tais harmonias se destacam no plano tonal de choros e canções produzidas no Brasil ao longo do século XX. Relativizando as funções da mediante, e suas capacidades de sugestionar e ser sugestionada por outros elementos da composição e seu entorno, são citadas obras de personagens canônicos, tais como Anacleto de Medeiros, Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Nelson Cavaquinho, Copinha, Canhoto da Paraíba, Custódio Mesquita, Vadico, Noel Rosa, Ary Barroso, Ismael Neto, Antônio Maria, Johnny Alf, César Camargo Mariano, Tom Jobim e Chico Buarque. Percebendo que entre obras e personagens, em perspectiva transnacional e transepocal, ressoa uma espécie de longa conversa, destaca-se como mote a canção Vitoriosa de Ivan Lins e Vitor Martins, pois nesta canção emprega-se a região de mediante justamente para ambientar o verso “Quero toda essa vontade de passar dos seus limites, e ir além, e ir além”. Palavras-chave: Mediante (acorde ou região). Harmonia Tonal. Teoria e crítica da música popular. Música popular no Brasil. Cross the Line? Mediant Harmonies and Popular Repertoire in Brazil Abstract: Are mediant harmonies (say, the chord or tonal area of E major in the C major key) formal choices that add value to the ongoing disputes in the field of popular music? In order to contemplate this issue, we present brief analytical commentaries that indicate that these singular and innovative harmonies stand out in the tonal plane of choro music and songs produced in Brazil throughout the 20th century.
