I love that the melodies of the examples in all of your videos may look simple and unassuming but when harmony is applied effectively it brings out the beauty!

Slightly related. The 5 of a minor key is also a 5 in a different key. So if you were to use chord 5 in A minor that's also chord 5 in A major which would be very interesting for modulation purposes.
@MusicMattersGB Жыл бұрын
Absolutely. The dominant chord is the same for its tonic major and tonic minor

True for harmonic and melodic minor, but not natural, technically … yes? Though ‘minor key’ really refers to whatever use/borrowing you like, as between these 3 minor scales, as I understand it … ?
@MusicMattersGB Жыл бұрын
Yes. V is major for the tonic major and tonic minor in the harmonic form. Obviously it’s minor in the natural minor or descending melodic minor.

Great video. I've always been fond of using secondary dominants and diminished sevenths. The first phrase of your example sounds a lot like John Dowland's "Now, O now my needs must part" (one my favorites of his). Thanks so much!
@MusicMattersGB Жыл бұрын
I’d not thought of the Dowland connection but see exactly what you mean. The 7ths are great, I agree.

In fact, it would be great to have a website with all of your video catalog. Even if someone could find the same lessons for free, as is currently the case, I think many would gladly welcome a pay-to-access site, for a reasonable fee, distinguished from the current free offering, on the basis of specific lessons offered and organized according to specific lesson plans and objectives. I learned theory, harmony and counterpart lessons from long out of publication books originally published around 1911. Each of those books was very thin. Similar subject matter today, especially after all of the publisher mandated update editions, have produced almost encyclopedia sized books which seem to obscure what might otherwise be basic information sought to be taught. In my opinion, it’s generally difficult to find the kind of information your channel provides in one place. It would benefit aspiring musicians, music listeners and the public, in general, to have even greater access to the information you provide in manner outlined above. In addition, you’ll never run out of topics to present, pieces to analyze and examples to hear.

That’s a very interesting idea. We do have the videos organised in playlists which should help people find their way around the material. The main reason we haven’t done what your suggesting is that on KZbin we’re not presenting complete A-Z courses. Rather these are a series of one off videos. If anyone wants A-Z courses they’re all available at www.mmcourses.co.uk

Great video! Very practical especially tying in 4 part harmony into it all. I am very glad you touched on the voice leading issues. I also really liked the "secondary diminished 7" idea. I never thought about how the V7/IV is a very interesting secondary dominant since the 7th of the V7/IV (in this case F) excludes the "new sharp" of the original key. And simultaneously the V/IV is basically the same chord as the Tonic chord of the original key except that one note difference in the 7th. But at the same time G7 to C is something our ears recognize as the perfect cadence to C. I find it extremely fascinating how these nuances can bring such a difference in how we perceive the harmony. Music is just too interesting.

Kind of a "dumb" question but related to what you said about the d-flat major. Can't I do a sequence of secondary chords in a different key and go back to my home key on a common chord between my new key and original key? I mean isn't secondary dominant like a momentary modulation?

Hi there ! If we are in a minor key ... Is that technically good to use the five (major) dominant to do for example the V7 of iii, or the V7 of III, or the V7 of iv ?

Yes. It works very well to use the major V from the harmonic minor scale.
