Where to Begin - Secondary Dominant Chords

[@j.rodriguezpico]

Clear and precise. Thanks!! from Barcelona (Spain)

[@ImpliedMusic]

You are welcome!

I have spent so many years trying to get by without a deeper understanding of music, using certain techniques and not actually understanding them. Your lessons and approach have completely welcomed me into bridging those gaps and into a whole new world of creativity and inspiration. I came to your channel for Phillip Glass and Steve Reich and end up at Mozart- and that is just fantastic!! I finally have an understanding of the techinque that Mozart and the other greats use to develop much longer form ideas. I suppose this feeds into the idea of sitting on certain chords for longer periods and exploring ideas rather than just rattling through chords in a few bars at a time.

Absolutely fascinating! 🖖 The Tritone of the Dominant 7th chord, that's the devil of it!!🍏

[@fischergreen4134]

It really is music theory for everyone I cannot play but I have a basic grasp of music theory and I have my software tools to help me compose. Your channel is helping me to develop my knowledge so thank you 🙏

[@ImpliedMusic]

Thanks so much. That means a lot to me.

Thank you Chris for your kind and good work. The secondary dominants alteres the music in a form that brings me surprise and enjoyment. Sometimes mystery too.

[@NeuroPete]

Thanks. I am beginning to understand.

[@asynchronicity]

Great explanation/exploration of this concept, brother! Most appreciated.

[@jeffreybaer3746]

Musical fluency-yes!

[@lauraroberts2250]

'Meander'! Yes! Just lost myself there! 😂 But really: thanks for this. I'm starting to get it.

[@ImpliedMusic]

Good luck!

[@robertbrook439]

Thanks so much for these videos. The information is concise but more than anything your own joy and love of music is practically radiating from the screen

[@ImpliedMusic]

Glad you like them!

Hello again. Id also love to see some videos where you build a track arrangement from scratch. Using various sample libraries, and talking about what your thoughts are along the way. Even if its an hour long I believe we as fellow creators could benifit and enjoy such content. Theory and Sounds becoming a Song😊 God Bless

[@ImpliedMusic]

I absolutely should do that.

[@CraigPMiller]

Secondary… only in relation to the primary 😃🎸

[@DCPImages]

Bach is hokey pretty!!! hahahahaha!

[@bwashburn1972b7]

Love this ...thx

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I'm using Bach Chorales to practice my sightreading. And he used harmonic and melodic minors often, and in trying to analyze them I've always thought that the accidentals were his use of those minors. Is there a relationship between secondary dominants and these minor scales?

[@ImpliedMusic]

In a word yes. Though what you say is more complicated. Bach’s minor sonorities usually have a major 7th degree, which will always call for an accidental.

[@andrewstrasser]

Here's something i don't get... Does the dominant always go to major? Does D7 go to G7 or to g major 7? I know it's not that rigid but maybe you can explain this to me if you get my gist. Is there a secondary dominant for a minor?

[@andrewstrasser]

I guess you answered my question in the second half of the video but I'm curious to learn more about this aspect of it

[@andrewstrasser]

Are the secondary dominants in harmonic or melodic minor?

[@ImpliedMusic]

excellent questions. secondary dominants may point to major or minor tonalities. your choice. the scales associated with minors could be your choice as well, though the leading tone, a half step below the tonic, implies harmonic or ascending melodic minor.

[@andrewstrasser]

@@ImpliedMusic doesn't the 7th chord have even MORE energy leading to the tonic than the 5th? do people work with that to do this kind of thing more forcefully?

[@ImpliedMusic]

@@andrewstrasser any dominant chord will tonicize the two resolutions of its tritone, regardless of the previous key levels or scale. I’m not sure I completely understand your question, just hoping this thought helps.
