Examples of Quintal Harmony

[@WillsJazzLoft]

I was very pleasantly surprised to hear how much ambiguity a composer can introduce using quintal harmony. I was so used to hearing ambiguity when I would play quartals

[@vincentcucheval]

Your cadence in your mass Agnus Dei is stunningly beautiful 😮

[@exalted_kitharode]

Thank you so much for this Bartok example. This is The Sound I was looking for. It was scattered across music I listen but no such example were there, before I watched your video. Appreciate it.

I'd never heard the Carl Vine work before. Just the short excerpt was thrilling . Thank you for the link. The Qui tollis from your mass inspired me to look at the score. I'm very grateful for your videos.

[@DavidBennettThomas]

My pleasure. Yes, the Carl Vine sonata is magnificent!

[@vine2197]

yes

[@Darrenowsley]

This is great stuff!

[@MrSteven2945]

This is very interesting... Gotta look further into this concept

[@unboundboundarie211]

Excellent video with great examples!

[@MrSteven2945]

Absolutely beautiful...Wow

[@richiebeirach3671]

david another great teaching video ,i love the bartok example ,,i thought of another amazing example of this quintal harmony ,CENTRAL PARK IN THE DARK from charles ives ,,maybe you thought of it and had to decide between the bartok etc ,,but great job !!again

[@DavidBennettThomas]

Thanks Richie! I actually used Central Park in the Dark in my video of quartal examples, since it has both quintal and quartal stuff in there. Love it!

Those parallel fifths and unresolved ninths trigger me. It's a most unpleasant experience, though quite interesting.

[@cellularautomaton.]

interesting, i hear the ninths as consonanced in a quintal context

Hi ,I can't find Gardner 's Tao,can you help me ?

[@IAMIOfficial]

That bartok example is just splendid. I feel like I'm in some mental magical jungle

[@DavidBennettThomas]

Yes, that Bartok piece is really cool. It is interesting to follow how the fifths move in contrary motion (often) in the two clefs, and how they go in and out of some recognizable quintal voicings

[@WEEBLLOM]

Rautavaara got a lot of inspiration from that section. For example, the introduction of his third piano concerto is almost the same thing

[@IAMIOfficial]

@@WEEBLLOM ohhhh i love rautavaara! his sound (and stuff like yoshimatsu) is the stuff i crave

[@WEEBLLOM]

[@Whatismusic123]

[@vine2197]

Great

[@ThomasLock-n2r]

What book is Tao in? He has a number of books.

[@DavidBennettThomas]

Jazz Piano- Creative Concepts and Techniques. It's an enormous book...!
