Aprašymas

A complete all-instruments guide to cycles in popular music including guide tones, voicings with and without roots, Drop 2, passing chords, and melodic phrases based on pairs of seventh chords in all keys moving through the cycle of fifths. Features charts on visualization techniques with superimposed seventh chords and upper structure triads, melodic studies and comping chords for All the Things You Are and Autumn Leaves, cycles of thirds, composition exercises, and music for analysis. Level - beginning to advanced. 140pp. "With extraordinary concision, this book presents, not only to pianists, but to any instrumentalist with a basic knowledge of music theory, the base of the pyramid of harmonic consciousness, starting with cycles, the basis for tonality, which is in turn the basis for modality - the very substance of popular music. Its principal merit lies in its discernment of the essential. If this book did not exist, it would have to be invented, so fundamental is its importance." Ian Guest "Full of fantastic information for aspiring jazz pianists." - Russell Ferrante (Yellowjackets)
