    The easiest way to remember modal scales on the piano is.........Simply play the white-key scales.
    Ionian C-Cº, Dorian D-Dº, Phrygian E-Eº, Lydian F-Fº, Mixolydian G-Gº, Aeolian A-Aº, Locrian B-Bº.

    Tonality came at the beginning of the baroque era (1600). It’s a musical system based on hierarchy. Some keys are more important than other keys. **An organized system of tones in which one tone becomes the central point of all the remaining points.**
    There are 8 scales in modality 2:22

    "Modality is no good for creating dense rich harmonies" Miles Davis and George Russell would like to have a word with you.

    • @cristiangdc618
      @cristiangdc618 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha I was thinking the same about Miles. But I guess she's got a point there: while listening to classic modal jazz albums, like the almighty Kind of Blue, you notice that it doesn't stand out for having complex harmony structures or unexpected chord changes or such, but rather cause its melodies and the precise combination of instruments create these dense, palpable and uniform atmospheres throughout each the songs. I'd say it focuses more on solos; maybe that's one of the reasons you never hear "All blues" on the radio.

    • @ChristianBurrola
      @ChristianBurrola 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@cristiangdc618 To be fair it was the beginning of people using modality as if it was tonal functional harmony so it wasn't as developed as it is now. Back then people like Miles Davis and the minimalist composers used them the same way the impressionists did, as a bed for melodic development. But somewhere around the time of rock and roll and soul music we start to see more complex ways to use modes such as cadences, use of altered dominants to establish a modal key, and modal interchange.

    To me, one of the most pointed differences between modality and tonality is that modal music tends to feel more harmonically static. Tonal music goes somewhere, like from home (tonic) away (subdominant) almost back (dominant) and back (tonic). Modal music just finds a sound and explores it for a while before going to another sound. At least that's how I conceptualize it.

      Mads Ploug Jepsen there are a lot of great 3 voice fugues. I’d recommend no.2 and 3 (C minor and C# major, respectively) from Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier for starters.
      Anyway, the inventions and sinfonias (also called 3-part inventions) are specifically pieces that Bach wrote for students learning to play the keyboard. Contrapuntal works with fugal structure not strictly intended for education (by Bach, anyway) will generally have other names, sometimes arbitrary and sometimes descriptive; there’s the fugue, which is the umbrella term, the fughetta, or little fugue, the canon, which involves each voice playing the same thing, but a measure or two behind the last, contrapunctus, which is just a fugue but specific to The Art of Fugue, and others.

    There are a number of false statements in this video. The modern Harmonic Tonality did not come in 1600 but beginning of 1700 along with the formalization of the major-minor system. There is no impediment to harmonic complexity with modal writing. The modern usage of modes is completely different from the usage in XVIth century. It is ridiculous to present tonality as a progress. It is a different system and it did not prevent composers to write masterpieces without it, such as Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Palestrina, Frescobaldi. Bach has not been writing in harmonic tonality per the definition we give to it nowadays. The main principles have been formalized by Rameau in several publications from 1722 to 1750. Bach was in disagreement with these new concepts. Even if it is true that the sense of tonic and key as a fundamental cornerstone of the piece has an increased role in his compositions, so is also the counterpoint rules and the thoroughbass practice of his time. His harmonic relationships follow often the circle of fifth as theorized by Heinichen in 1710. In fact Bach is at the junction between the counterpoint writing herited from the renaissance and the emergence of the major-minor system based on harmonic tonality.

      Exactly! This video is phrased with a very modern-centric view of music. People ought to be more cautious about believing that everything has simply 'improved' over the centuries, since I've found that music education these days is full of misconceptions about earlier music. Like 'we needed the major/minor tonal system to make more intricate music', 'a shawm is quieter than an oboe', ' 'harpsichords fell out of use at the end of the baroque era', 'the organ lost popularity when Bach died' - completely 100% incorrect facts. She obviously doesn't listen to much early music other than modern piano recordings of Bach, and hasn't really talked to anyone that actually knows about this stuff.
