I'm surprised at not only the quality of your videos for their technical content, but your calm manner to explain these concepts. My piano teacher has remarked on my music theory knowledge, and it's because I discovered your channel early on and watched concepts that were way out of my pay grade. But not for long. And you really do have a great sense of humour, and it's a pleasure to watch your presentation. And your comments section is second to none. Félicitations, tout le monde.
absolutely amazing!! I've been gaining a lot of sense since the first video I watched from here. Gonna watch 1 video a day whenever I am eating :p Thanks a lot! you are truly genuine and also you've got a lot inside you :))
I just joined a choir and this has given me an idea to break free from singing the melody and start learning the tenor lines in a creative way. The trouble I’m having is that the logic of the inner voices seems very different and not as interesting to the ear. Maybe some passing notes can help keep my concentration on the right line.
And suddenly "God save the king" (with the use of non-chord tones in the first bar) resembles Nina Simone's "My baby just cares for me" ...passing notes are so effective😊
Hi Gareth, I’m a 15 year old who is really into my classical music, and I love your videos! Although I appreciate your probably cannot, would you please do an analysis of Pamina’s lament ‘Ach Ich Fuhl’s’ from Mozart’s Die Zauberflote? It’s got some really interesting sounding harmonies after the Neapolitan 6th towards the end, and I’d love to hear your insights. Don’t worry if not! Thanks
Indeed. I have played that exact bass line, by ear in octaves, for years. I always thought it came from Ives, so I’ll have to listen to his and compare!
I was wondering, If you haven't already, do a video on how Mozart uses strophic form? Mozart's sonata no.11 k331 would be a good example. Maybe you could deconstruct it?😊
At the end of bar 3, putting the passing A in the bass turns the chord into an Am7 chord, as you say. The G in the tenor then becomes the seventh of the chord, so wouldn't you expect it to drop a semitone in moving to the first chord of the fourth bar? I realise, of course, that it can't drop to F# because that note doesn't figure in the next chord. Maybe one might hear the reiterated G from the end of bar 3 to the beginning of bar 4 as a suspension and expect it to drop in the next chord, although again the voicing of the succeeding chord doesn't permit that (although maybe its voicing could be re-jigged to allow it). I'm not saying that what's shown here doesn't work, although I do seem to find the move from a chord of Am7 to G a wee bit anticlimactic!

and the bar 4 sounds so sweet.

This national anthem sounds like Mr. Handels composition !
Thankyou for helping all of us ..sir 🎉

Thank you!
Great lesson. Bass lines are the root of our entire system.

We will see what we can do. Thanks for your positive feedback. Good luck with your music making.
"It's passing note time!" That would be a great intro for a kid's music show. Charles Ives is someone else who's livened up God Save the King.
😀I love that Charles Ives piece.
Indeed. I have played that exact bass line, by ear in octaves, for years. I always thought it came from Ives, so I’ll have to listen to his and compare!
😀
@@rubberlegs It’s humbling to think that Ives composed and performed his version when he was just 17. And he was even using bi-tonality then.
😀
Informative and helpful as always 👍
Many thanks
Very useful thank you very much

12": bass a third lower prodoces a different chord - that's what we were discussing a few days ago.
Absolutely
Can I use bassline for instruments like bass guitar? Or do I have to make a separate music sheet for it? Do you have any video instructions for this?
You can do that
I was wondering, If you haven't already, do a video on how Mozart uses strophic form? Mozart's sonata no.11 k331 would be a good example. Maybe you could deconstruct it?😊
Will put that on the list.
@@MusicMattersGB thanks for the awesome content. Such helpful music videos.😊

Resolutions of 7ths down a semitone are important for Dominant 7ths but not so necessary in relation to other 7ths.
The additions to the bass line reminds me of Beethoven's variations on the theme (especially variation 1).
Good link
As a tuba player, I get handed a lot of boring bass lines to play- something like this is much more interesting!
Absolutely!
I like the tuba lines in the Termina Field theme from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Fabulous
Great video

If you had a double bass, what could you do apart from copying the cello part?
Rhythmic interest.
The double bass can drop in and out. It can do things like play pizzicato independently of the cello etc.
@@MusicMattersGB I love the sound of pizzicato bass
Great sound
at 9", the 5 7 chord: Der Dichter Spricht!
😀
Of course, given how fond Tallis and Byrd were of them, having a simultaneous false relation in your national anthem would be quite patriotic 😊
Good point!
My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of Liberty
Of thee I sing.
😀
hahaha sorry about Christmas false relations.
😀
I wonder what Paul McCartney would have come up with.😊
It’s certainly worth looking at and listening to his bass lines
