Ever wonder how many different chords you could derive from
any given scale? --Or how a standard chord can be used in all
keys? Do you want to discover new scales and structural
approaches to enrich your playing? Explore this book and you
will find all chords and scales reduced to 220 possible
combinations, with insights into the unique aspects of many of
them. A must own for any improvising musician.
"Sonic Resource Guide" is a reference book for the application
of set theory principles to jazz improvisation. It is meant
for the musician who wants to explore new sounds for
improvisation or composition.
The aim of "Sonic Resource Guide" is to bridge the gap between
highly mathematical pitch class theory books and the often
limited scope of jazz improvisation methods by demonstrating
various musical relationships that an improviser can use to
create fresh sounding musical content.
The book reduces note relationships down to two hundred and
twenty prime forms. Endless combinations of notes can be
derived from these prime forms which are commonly referred to
as pitch class sets.
The various melodic and harmonic relationships of these pitch
class sets are listed to help a musician locate and utilize
these relationships within their own playing. Along with each
pitch class set is a listing of possible related jazz chords.
Where appropriate a listing of all three and four note chords
can be found to aid in creating varied and unique harmonic
pallettes, as well as three, four, six and eight note subset
relationships to help in exploring subset based musical ideas.
Jazz musicians will find this book user friendly because all
relationships are listed as both pitch names and scale
degrees. Set theory students will find each pitch class set is
also expressed in its prime form.
An index containing a simplified set list is also included to
help in locating a prime form's scales from any note
combination. There is also a brief theory section exploring
some of the uses of the information presented. Further books
will explore these theoretical relationships in depth.
