I had this existential moment regarding composing in minor today. It started when I looked for a Renaissance progression to use, found The Romanesca, III-VII-i-V-III-VII-i-V-i. Ok, great. Tried going ahead using Harmonic Minor - sounded terrible! Researched a bit more, found it is in Natural Minor/Aeolian. (mostly see my reply to myself below...) The existential moment came from crashing and burning while trying harmonic, then researching to find the right scale or chords. Many sources wanted to give just the roman numerals, no chord types, no scale types. Like it was just implicit, I should know this. I ended up gripping my head saying to myself, we've only got 7 chords if we stay in key using harmonic minor.... why use the raised 7th and then have landmines in our set of available harmony like the augmented 3rd and the diminished 7th when you've got that nice major 3rd and 7th in Natural Minor/Aeolian? And might we ever use the raised 6th to build harmony based on melodic minor? And for all these questions, I meant, when picking a minor key and sticking with it, not for modulation. And then, wondering what would feel instinctively right to me, I grabbed my guitar and played some rock/folk stuff and came to the conclusion that in those genres, the 7th only gets raised in minor for V except some pretty rare occasions. And now I've come full circle to - see what sounds good to you. But sometimes it can be educational to determinedly adopt an established convention and stick with it to the end of a project.
@joebobhenrybob20002 жыл бұрын
Aaaand actually I feel dumb now and realize the renaissance people are doing the same thing as the modern rock folk people and raising the 7th for V but not VII nor III

@@MusicMattersGB haha agreed, and I smacked my forehead, because i kind of already knew all this. I read a couple years back about John Renborn (of Pentangle) doing research into traditional folk songs of Appalachia and elsewhere... he found MANY of the songs were actually 500 year old Renaissance songs! (and of course both the folk and rock we have now came from those roots) We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, unremembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea.

I don’t know if you already have a video on this, but it would help me to have a video on what notes sound good to play in the harmony. For example, in the first measure you choose to use an octave with an a on the top instead of D F# A. Or in the last measure you use F# D for chord Ic, instead of all three chord tones, F# B D. It seems like there are rules of thumb to what sounds good besides using the exact tri-tone chord.

In the harmonic minor scale we raise the 7th degree by a semitone - hence the G#. The E chord contains a G#.

it'll make more sense..if you learn more scales..aside from the MAJOR/minor scale.. It's just easier to COUNT from B min,...as B Harmonic min b2 ( C lyd #6 or C lyd #5, #6) vi...ii ..iii has the same intervals as I, IV, %...it's just visually easier to see and play on the fretboard becuase the lower strings are tune to perfect 4th... it' just depends....rather then play B min G Maj7 F#7 into B minor all the time I'll play B min C maj7 F# min B min...Then E7 A# dim into B min... Rather then B min E min A7 into D Maj The E7 ( lyd domintnat) is the IV of B melodic min There's other options/ways/sounds to play back to the B min chord. Use the C chord as a PIVOT ( reference PIVOT chord) C Maj7 F min F# min B min.. or I can even alter the C Maj7 to C min or min/maj7..or C dim ( C ly #2, #6) C min F min F#7 into B min Cdim C# min F#7 into B min C Maj G min F min A# dim into B min or C min G min F min A# dim into B min or C #4 8, #9..the 5th ( G note) is stack below and octave above slide down 2 frets....( same fingering) A# note as the ROOT Then play C Maj F# min B min..... Becuase I dont want to play F#7 into B min all the time .. or I dont want to play dominant chords all the time. It'll even do this ..it's just different sounds to me. C aug E maj7 F# min A Maj or A7 into D MAJOR... if you,,,rack your brain too much...you'll notice..the notes of E Maj7 as has B , maj 3, 6...in it. somtimes..it'll even play B7 into E min F# min B min or B7 into E min A7 into D MAJOR

Mr. Music Matters, would it be possible for you to devise a series in which you take a melody (or melodic basis) and harmonise it simply to begin with (e.g. using I, IV & V only) and then, with each new video, introduce a new aspect of CPP harmony with increasingly advanced techniques?

I’m seeing all uppercase Roman numerals. In D major an E minor chord would be shown as ii. I’m seeing II, which is an uppercase Roman numeral which normally indicates major, not minor which is what you are implying is to be played. Is this a European thing?
@MusicMattersGB3 жыл бұрын
There are two internationally recognised systems - Basic Roman and Extended Roman. To keep things simple I am using Basic Roman here i.e. all uppercase. In Extended Roman one makes the distinction you describe between major and minor chords.
@johnharringtonguitar65593 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your response. After I commented I explored playing the E chord as a major chord and it does work. It becomes E7 in support of the D melody note. The E7 leads to A in the next measure. I’m going to research the origin of the Roman numeral system. It may have started with all uppercase. It may be a more advanced way of thinking by not locking in the secondary chords as having to be minor. In jazz turnarounds the secondary chords can be played as minor or major. I’m thinking the same thing can apply to classical music during resolution. I will get back to you in a week with what I found out. Thanks for the great videos. I know I’ll be watching many more !
@MusicMattersGB3 жыл бұрын
The Basic Roman method is used in the interests of simplicity but you do draw attention to the fact that the tonality of chords is not as fixed as some believe, especially in minor keys.

Like all your video's, very clear and informative. I am currently trying to undertand harmony and how it is constructed and this video goes a long way in helping that. But whenever I pick up an existing score (simpler the better) I can get so far in understanding what they have done then hit a chord progression or harmonisation that does not make sense. Ok it's an art not a science so I have to allow for that, but do you have any videos that take an existing score and analyse what the author has done to produce the harmony. I'm talking simple beginner harmony here. Many thanks.
