Canon per due stromenti, nel Missolidio


Erratum. A syncopation was left out on the second line, after the first dotted crotchet or quarter note, the subsequent quaver or eighth note should be tied to it. My bad!

Une syncopation fut omise, deuxième portée, après la première noire avec un point, la croche suivante doit y être liée. Mes excuses!

One Disagreement with Tommaso


musicalia:Posting link, while video in premiere : Can We Write Songs "From Theory"? [with Diana de Cabarrus] (by Tommaso Zillio) · One Disagreement with Tommaso · If Anyone Is Paranoid Enough to Believe I Compose by ChatGPT? Watch This! · Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: What is Music Theory, Really? Is It Any Help? Yes, If the Right One

He said Jazz, Metal, etc, could be distinguished from, not just a specific Classical style, like Baroque, Viennese Classic, Romantic, but all of common practise. I e Classical from Baroque to Romanticism.

On one item, I'd actually concede the point. Much modern popular music actually does have a direction towards the dominant rather than from dominant to tonic. But that, in turn, is a return to something which was very currently done in Medieval and Renaissance music, it was called plagal cadence.

Apart from that, and for tunes that do not use this particular conceit, I would say, common practise extends from Baroque over Romanticism, over vaudeville, to modern pop. Any type, jazz, country, schlager, metal, rockabilly, has a high degree of common practise.

Atonal and other experimental styles are actually less classical than modern popular music. Aniara by Blomdahl or The Rite of Spring by Stravinski have less in common with the Opera and Operette I head in Vienna, than Hammerstein or Bernstein have.

So, like Romanticism, and unlike atonal, modern pop is a recognisable widening of the constraints inherent in common practise, but not a rupture from them. However, any given common practise style would be different from any given modern pop style, as having different extra constraints./HGL

Sonatine pour Violon α - Upcoming


The manuscript has been sent to SPUC, to get legal funds for "Lydia" who was pushed into an abortion by an evil doctor and who regrets it and is suing him.

On 15:00 Paris time, Holy Innocents, this sonatine will appear on this site, and be useable for all purposes except those I specifically exclude (such as adding text or drama without my consent - consent already there for SPUC - and such as using it for collecting money for Téléthon, March of Dimes or other medical research campaigns that support aborting the ones risking birth with genetic defects, as if that were worse than being aborted)./HGL

Why Burl Ives Didn't Give Chords for All Keys


What are Open String Chords? · Arpeggi Jumping One String · Summing Up the Use · Why Burl Ives Didn't Give Chords for All Keys

The obvious answer is, the Cowboys whose music he wrote down didn't use all keys.

But there is a more profound answer.

A guitar can be tuned in even temperament. Third fret will be the square root of the square root of 1/2 the string lenth, and first fret will be the cube root of that.

But it can also be tuned in some kind of pure temperament, Pythagorean or Just - the first has pure fifths "all along", the other has pure thirds.

This means, they will not work equally well for all of the keys. There is an enharmonic "fifth" which is not a pure fifth in either case - and you don't want that one into your tonic!

So, I think the keys he explores are eight keys - one flat to two sharps in the signature, major or minor.

F - C - G - D and Dm - Am - Em - Bm.

I have only given four common chords for the key of G major. There is in fact a chord progression, called the "Anatole" in France, which you can't do with only these, to the "Anatole" in G major, you need ...

/: G Em Am D7 :/

And as you can see, I left Em out. And I am leaving it out. I am not giving, unlike Burl Ives, chords for all they keys, and I only provided these as a service for beginners.

If you learn the strings and frets for the notes, and if you learn the notes of chords, you will be able to make similar "open string chords" for the chords I did not provide.

Rock bands (at least those closer to metal) typically instead have guitars played with touching frets fairly far down, perhaps around 12th fret or so, and not arranged in chords always, and chords made by arranging notes of them between different guitarists ... another thing I am not showing.
