  • Andy Cohen – Techniques of the So-Called Piedmont Style and Repertoire
    Andy Cohen – Techniques of the so-called Piedmont Style and Repertoire Cohen’s Law and its corollaries The thumb strikes the low root on the 1, regardless of where the accent falls, almost all the time. Corollary I: When Blind Blake rolls his bass, the second note, not the first, is 1. You can conceive of the first note as either a grace note (a teeny little one beside a normal sized one), which has no associated time value; or the ‘-a’ of the previous measure’s ‘4-e-&-a’. Corollary II: on a plain D chord, there is no bass D, so you either use the higher open D string, or the F# on the low E string for a bass note. It’s okay, it’s a third… Corollary III: Like when you do a two measure break at the end of a phrase, you have established the beat already in the listener’s mind, so you simply omit any bass notes, and proceed to the next place where there is one. Corollary IV: there isn’t a rule for where the thumb has to be at any other time in the measure. Here are some things the thumb may do when it’s not obliged to do something else, or in conjunction with something else: It can brush back or forth to establish a rhythm I ascribe Cohen’s Law to Myron Cohen, the Borscht Belt comedian. It amounts to the observation that in most varieties of guitar (and piano) playing, the low root is expressed in the bass, on the one beat.

  • Lucas Stephen M 2014 Masters
    TRIPLE SYNTHESIS by Stephen Lucas A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2014 © STEPHEN LUCAS 2014 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisors and committee members Professor Michael Coghlan and Professor Alan Henderson, for their guidance and support in the development of this thesis. I must also thank committee member Professor Holly Small for her generous input and support. In addition, I wish to thank my graduate studies Professors Dorothy de Val, Pat Bradley and David Mott for their advice and expert instruction in my coursework at York University. iii Abstract This thesis investigates the result of merging three musical approaches (jazz fusion, breakbeat/IDM and Electronic Dance Music) and their respective methodologies as applied to music composition. It is presented in a progressive manner. Chapters two to four identify and discuss each of the three styles separately in terms of the research undertaken in the preparation of this thesis. Chapter 2 discusses, through a close examination of selected compositions and recordings, both Weather Report and Herbie Hancock as representing source material for research and compositional study in terms of melody, harmony and orchestration from the 1970s jazz-fusion genre. Chapter 3 examines breakbeat and Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) drum rhythm programming through both technique and musical application. Chapter 4 presents an examination of selected contemporary Electronic Dance Music (EDM) techniques and discusses their importance in current electronic music styles. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 each present an original composition based on the application and synthesis of the styles and techniques explored in the previous three chapters, with each composition defined by proportions of influence from each of the three styles as in the Venn diagram shown in the introduction.

  • Chord Names and Symbols (Popular Music) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Chord names and symbols (popular music) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Various kinds of chord names and symbols are used in different contexts, to represent musical chords. In most genres of popular music, including jazz, pop, and rock, a chord name and the corresponding symbol are typically composed of one or more of the following parts: 1. The root note (e.g. C). CΔ7, or major seventh chord 2. The chord quality (e.g. major, maj, or M). on C Play . 3. The number of an interval (e.g. seventh, or 7), or less often its full name or symbol (e.g. major seventh, maj7, or M7). 4. The altered fifth (e.g. sharp five, or ♯5). 5. An additional interval number (e.g. add 13 or add13), in added tone chords. For instance, the name C augmented seventh, and the corresponding symbol Caug7, or C+7, are both composed of parts 1, 2, and 3. Except for the root, these parts do not refer to the notes which form the chord, but to the intervals they form with respect to the root. For instance, Caug7 indicates a chord formed by the notes C-E-G♯-B♭. The three parts of the symbol (C, aug, and 7) refer to the root C, the augmented (fifth) interval from C to G♯, and the (minor) seventh interval from C to B♭. A set of decoding rules is applied to deduce the missing information. Although they are used occasionally in classical music, these names and symbols are "universally used in jazz and popular music",[1] usually inside lead sheets, fake books, and chord charts, to specify the harmony of compositions.
