Mark Reid<p>I’ve been using diminished 7th chords more and more in my playing over the last year or so and have been slowly realising just how important they are in jazz harmony. </p><p>This video very clearly and concisely summarises many ways of thinking about diminished 7th chords in functional harmony. I’ve seen several of these touched upon in other places but not in such a well organised way. Well worth a watch!</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/rCpJYOj_a9M?si=h2kJf0Dud_ruji5p" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/rCpJYOj_a9M?si=h2kJf0</span><span class="invisible">Dud_ruji5p</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musictheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musictheory</span></a></p>

Cassana 🍻<p>A wonderful taksim on Arabic oud in maqam Saba by Hesham Hamra.<br>Saba is a very interesting maqam, which has been explained in Arabic and Turkish <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicTheory</span></a> in various awkward ways, including devising a diminished tetrachord and separate maqam family, because it breaks various structural rules (range of a minor 10th, dominants on minor 3rd and 6th, no octave). Even so, it's a popular maqam, which some people describe as "bluesy".<br><a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Ethnomusicology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnomusicology</span></a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/WorldMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldMusic</span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERtSDNI4fe4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=ERtSDNI4fe</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p>

katch wreck<p>of course, you can pick locrian (the "darkest" mode) or lydian (the "brightest" mode) and use those as a reference, too. for example, six sharps starting from locrian can get you to lydian through all the other modes (5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4) and similarly, six flats can get you from lydian to locrian through all other modes (4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5), with Dorian in the center. so the symmetry of the Dorian mode occurs not only in its intervals but also in its modal relationships <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musicTheory</span></a></p>

During my <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Ethnomusicology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnomusicology</span></a> studies I took lessons in tabla, which has a different rhythm language called Bol used for reciting cycles and compositions, though I find Konnakol, which I got into with kanjira, a little bit more flexible, e.g., internalising a fast 9/8 (2+2+3+2) by saying "takadimitakitajuna", or playing around with rhythm without needing an instrument. <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicTheory</span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4mxt4xBgdc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=I4mxt4xBgd</span><span class="invisible">c</span></a></p>

Pauliina Lievonen<p>I’ve got a week off which means time for bassoon practise. This might only amuse myself, but: I first learned music theory in Finnish, which like German uses H for the note just below C. But I now mostly teach in Dutch and English where the same note is B. But B in Finnish means a B flat. So in order to know for sure what I mean, in my own markings I write H and Bes.

Georgiana BrummellI think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it.<br><br>Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such.<br><br>Studying Music: Part I<br><br><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html</a><br><br>My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study.<br><br>In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.<br><br>Studying Music: Part II<br><br><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html</a><br><br>Finally, since I mentioned the exercises, here they are, for anyone who wants to try them.
