If used, simply barre across all 6 strings with your index finger. The roots (lowest black diamonds) of these barre chord voicings can be aligned to any fret- line to produce the desired letter named chord. For example: the Major barre chord shape that looks like the open position E Major chord (top row, root on string one or low E) can be played at the first fret for an F Major chord, or at the third fret for a G Major chord. Likewise, the Major barre chord shape that looks like the open position A Major chord (second row, root on string two or A) can be played on the second fret for B Major or on the third fret for C Major. This principle applies to all barre chords, Major, minor, seventh, etc. That's the beauty of barre chords, they're movable and universal. Memorize the letter names and locations (fret number) of the notes on strings one and two, low E and A (first twelve frets). Consult the Guitar Fretboard Note Speller.

  • Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment
    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

  • On Modulation —
    — On Modulation — Dean W. Billmeyer University of Minnesota American Guild of Organists National Convention June 25, 2008 Some Definitions • “…modulating [is] going smoothly from one key to another….”1 • “Modulation is the process by which a change of tonality is made in a smooth and convincing way.”2 • “In tonal music, a firmly established change of key, as opposed to a passing reference to another key, known as a ‘tonicization’. The scale or pitch collection and characteristic harmonic progressions of the new key must be present, and there will usually be at least one cadence to the new tonic.”3 Some Considerations • “Smoothness” is not necessarily a requirement for a successful modulation, as much tonal literature will illustrate. A “convincing way” is a better criterion to consider. • A clear establishment of the new key is important, and usually a duration to the modulation of some length is required for this. • Understanding a modulation depends on the aural perception of the listener; hence, some ambiguity is inherent in distinguishing among a mere tonicization, a “false” modulation, and a modulation. • A modulation to a “foreign” key may be easier to accomplish than one to a diatonically related key: the ear is forced to interpret a new key quickly when there is a large change in the number of accidentals (i.e., the set of pitch classes) in the keys used. 1 Max Miller, “A First Step in Keyboard Modulation”, The American Organist, October 1982. 2 Charles S. Brown, CAGO Study Guide, 1981. 3 Janna Saslaw: “Modulation”, Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 5 May 2008), http://www.grovemusic.com.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Major and Minor Scales Half and Whole Steps
    Dr. Barbara Murphy University of Tennessee School of Music MAJOR AND MINOR SCALES HALF AND WHOLE STEPS: half-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that are adjacent on the piano keyboard whole-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that have another key in between chromatic half-step -- a half step written as two of the same note with different accidentals (e.g., F-F#) diatonic half-step -- a half step that uses two different note names (e.g., F#-G) chromatic half step diatonic half step SCALES: A scale is a stepwise arrangement of notes/pitches contained within an octave. Major and minor scales contain seven notes or scale degrees. A scale degree is designated by an Arabic numeral with a cap (^) which indicate the position of the note within the scale. Each scale degree has a name and solfege syllable: SCALE DEGREE NAME SOLFEGE 1 tonic do 2 supertonic re 3 mediant mi 4 subdominant fa 5 dominant sol 6 submediant la 7 leading tone ti MAJOR SCALES: A major scale is a scale that has half steps (H) between scale degrees 3-4 and 7-8 and whole steps between all other pairs of notes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 W W H W W W H TETRACHORDS: A tetrachord is a group of four notes in a scale. There are two tetrachords in the major scale, each with the same order half- and whole-steps (W-W-H). Therefore, a tetrachord consisting of W-W-H can be the top tetrachord or the bottom tetrachord of a major scale.

  • Flamenco Music Theory Pdf
    Flamenco music theory pdf Continue WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:1) Andalusian Cadence is a series of chords that gives flamenco music its characteristic sound: In Music, a sequence of notes or chords consisting of the closing of the musical phrase: the final cadences of the Prelude.3) This progression of chords consists of i, VII, VI and V chords of any insignificant scale, Ending on V chord.4) The most commonly used scale for this chord progression is the Harmonic minor scale (in C minor: B C D E F G))5) The most common keys in flamenco are the Frigian, known as Por Medio in flamenco guitar, and consisting of Dm, C, Bb. Another common key is E Phrygian, known as Por Arriba on Flamenco guitar, and consisting of Am, G, F, E. E Phrygian (Por Arriba) is often used in Solea and Fandangos Del Huelva.THE ANDALUSIAN CADENCE: Today we will discuss really common chords and sound in flamenco: Andalus Cadens! Learning more about this sound will help the audience better appreciate flamenco music, provide flamenco dancers with a better understanding of the music that accompanies them, and non-flamenco musicians some basic theory to incorporate flamenco sounds into their music. At this point, if you want to skip the theory and just listen, go to LISTENING: ANDALUSIAN CADENCE IN THE WORLD. I would recommend reading the pieces of the theory just for some context. MUSIC THEORY: CHORD PROGRESSIONThic series of four chords is so ubiquitous in flamenco that anyone who listens to it should know it when they hear it.

  • 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.
