About Music Theory and Composition 4
This core music theory course is the fourth of a four-semester curriculum that continues to build a foundation for your musical development. The materials covered here will help you express your musical ideas as applied to composition for film, TV and video games.
You will learn more about the essential elements of music theory and composition that will help you build your own musical language. You will further expand your knowledge of harmony and melody and expand your knowledge of scales, chords, and rhythms.
This music composition course is designed to take you from a strong review of level 3 topics-the standard deceptive resolutions of V7, classical and contemporary analysis techniques, polychord voicings, non-chord tones, approach tones, and approach tone harmonization-to topics like deceptive resolutions of dominant function harmony, contiguous dominant patterns, modal melody and harmony, hybrid voicings, quartal and quintal harmony, exotic scales, 12-tone technique, minimalism and other important twentieth century compositional techniques. We will review the rhythmic elements of Indian, Latin American, and African music and delve into the musical intricacies of the music of Indonesia, China, Japan, and Korea.
We will also continue the unique feature of blending and exploring both traditional and contemporary harmony in order to give you a historical understanding of current topics.
Music Theory and Composition 4 also features a topic called "Rhythm Jam" that will introduce you to many new and exciting rhythmic concepts such as nested tuplets, the Fibonacci series, metric modulation, hemiola, phase, Jahlas, and additive rhythm. Through forum questions you and your classmates will engage in discussions about musical creativity, craft, and inspiration.
Each week you will be asked to engage with your classmates and instructor as you work your way through the topics. Included in each topic are a number of activities and exercises designed to help you more thoroughly experience and understand the material presented.
Each week there will be a composition assignment, including many which will give you the opportunity to practice writing to short film cues.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Compose and notate your own musical ideas using advanced concepts
Construct advanced harmonies and melodies and apply them to your writing
Learn how to apply advanced musical concepts to your own writing
Apply advanced theoretical analysis to contemporary music and traditional classical music
Mixolydian Sharp 9 flat 9 flat 13 scale associated with dominant 7th chord which move to minor target chord
Yes. With all due respect to the instructor, and although my skills are far behind, in my humble opinion, this is all senseless. It has "organic chemistry" feel to the naming.. if somebody knows what I mean.
@@zeratulofaiur2589 The purpose of the naming is to understand the notes and qualities.
The Mixolydian #9 b9 b13 scale is telling you what the general harmony is dominant 7th and minor tell you the quality of the chords.
1 b2 2 #2 3 4 5 b6 b7 8 is Mixolydian #9 b9 b13 which is similar to
1 b2 2 3 4 5 b6 b7 8 the Spanish Phrygian scale
the dominant seventh chord (as it pertains to the key) is 5 7 2 4 and whatever minor chord 1 b3 5.
Without it you wouldn't know what notes to play over what harmony.
That scale is known just as Phrygian dominant by most musicians, which is a phrygian scale, although the tonic is a dominant chord. And it's the scale usually played over the V chords in a minor key.
I believe that man just wanted to flex on his musical knowledge and ended up being quite pretentious and misleading.
Can you repeat that in English
@@Wikitoube Not to disagree I definitely understand the benefit of simplicity, but some people call it beer, and others call it ethanol. Depends on whether it's a basic or a chemistry setting. Just because there's a common term doesn't mean there isn't value in a technical term.
Wow, these recommended algorithms have their issues, but it's all worth it for gems like this channel/resource to pop up every once in a while.
Wow...your explanation is so clear and thorough and your illustration in Spanish music opens door for me to explore my own music world...thank you so much!
2:00 I might as well stick to Maths.
Raj Harsh Lolololololol literally laughed out loud when I got to 2:00 lololololol
me too what a mouthful
Bruh, this just lost me too.
Thank you so much! I will definitely incorporate this scale into my GCSE composition which is a fusion of Latin and jazz music.
I'm here trying to research for my gcse here😂😂😂 if you have any recommended scales for latin american I would appreciate it😓
I would.like to hear ur composition in flamenco style. Pls share a link
start from Ab and you have the bebop major scale. ala Barry Harris et al.
Fascinating, and totally inspirational. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this wonderful explanation of the scale! Very thorough and clear examples as well! Fantastic!
very well explained
It's very intresting and useful lesson
Thank you sir for this I got exactly the whole story, the most important being to not lose the tonic in compositions
RXRA's song "A Little Light Of Love" (from The Fifth Element's closing credits) is based on this scale, too.
Really neat explanation of the theory, btw. Thank you for the lesson :)
I love how the more you know about a subject the more there is to know. One starts with Classicists insisting on Diatonic Tonality only. Then I find the Blues Major and Minor. Next Barry Harris 6th diminished an octatonic, then K-POP Phrygian now Spanish Phrygian. An open mind and ear produces magic .Now if I can just get my fingers to do it :-)
wonderful!! Thank you!
Leaving the minor 3rd out sounds better, I think.
Try Major ascending, minor descending
That would be the phrygian dominant scale fyi
Thanks more you help to enhance my idea... GOD bless you
Thank you for sharing
Amazing. Thanks so much. It was exactly what I was looking for. Muchísimas gracias 💃
Muchas gracias por su aporte y compartir sus conocimientos .Jesus
I got here kind of by mistake. I happened to listen to the Concierto de Aranjuez, next to a brass-heavy version of la Virgin dela Macarena, and I thought to Google "What makes music sound Spanish?" After this lesson, I'm going to watch and read the whole series from the start!
Great lesson and sound, Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!
Bebop Phrygian, and that alt scale is a cool set. MBB
i love this!
amazing video.
In idian classical music we say it THAAT BHAIRAVI , that is the set of 7 notes on which raagas ( melodies) in Indian classical music are framed and improvised 🙏
cheers!
I thought the phrygian major or dominant was 1 - ♭2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - ♭6 - ♭7 - 1, but you're adding #2 I wanna know why?
It’s not a scale, it’s a key. All chromatics can come into play. There is Eb and E available as options just like in the F minor key. What is missing is B natural as Spanish music uses to tonicize C in this context. The Cadential sound is Db7->C where B natural is a leading tone. That is how F gravity is avoided and keeps subdominant relative sound.
Got to mess around with standard Phrygian. The major 3 was the note I wanted to add, and it usually ended up as part of v dim7.
The note I would have employed more if I found it sooner is natural 2. A quick trip back to natural minor is sort of the Picardy third of Phrygian.
Thats 2 different scales phrygian (mode of major) and phrygian dominant (mode of harmonic minor) and you switch between them using modal interchange or borrowed chords. It think thats how it should be viewed.
None the less a very interesting video thank you.
as in relating to dom 7s' you are saying like what we know as second dominant into the sixth degree that type of animal that leads into the relative minor of the tonic?
Is that a way to think about it like a major third being responsible from the tonic major to mode into minor?
Hi, I'm at college in the uk, not studying music but am mega interested in music theory and getting to grips with modes and theory on guitar and found this pretty interesting albeit very advanced for my current understanding. I was wondering if you've got any more material like this on your channel for other modes, like I say I'm getting into modes and started writing some material, love the content you upload, keep up the great work. Hoping I can make something of all this one day.

Oh Man i wish he would be my teacher he seems so nice...
Like how can I add harmony to a Phrygian scale example I ve 2 follow what like major scale chords pattern or minor pattern i.e C d min E min OR Cm Ddim D# the chords pattern ??? I m asking specifically
Javier reyes why are you playing piano?
Hey, isn't that the Mixolydian b9 #9 b13?
many Scales share the same keys. It just how you play them and what root your using
1:57
is that a actual piece at the end or is that a just a song for this video
nicely presented.
I'm going to transpose a rock song into salsa now.
Diego Kohl
If you think of it as, the 5th degree of Harmonic minor you get all of those notes as well minus the flat 3 (-3)
In your example C spanish phrygian
5th degree of Fmi & add the Eb (-3)
loved the lesson the visual imagery you provided, especially the bull fight analogy!!. Thank you Maestro.
Here are my attempts: th-cam.com/video/QAtoq0a8IOE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/p7clKJq_kKo/w-d-xo.html In guitar, many pieces use this scale with the major ascending and the minor descending. Same concept as the melodic minor scale.
1:37
Is this Lion King stampede “to die for” territory?
That mode is characteristic of the '60's hit song by the Ventures, "Miserlou".
07:54 Black and red? more like Gold and Red!
Radiohead use this scale in Pyramid Song and Everything in its right place, just wonderful!
Is Middle Eastern, Jewish, Arabic. Check Rodrigo’s Concerto De Aranjuez
thats our Bhairavi..
I swear this is the Andalucian scale? i may have spelt it wrong but why is it the "Spanish Phrygian" I'm sure its the Andalucian scale
1:45 i laughed
Isn't it Gflat instead of G?
@@tlz124 No, because this is a major scale.
Mmkay
Funny, I "invented" this scale by myself on keyboard when I was a kid. Mine didn't have the minor 3rd though. To comp myself I used genderless chords (like power chords on guitar) of the 1, the flat 2 and the 7. It was intended to sound "arabic" (in a cheesy, western, kind of exotica way).

If this guy is the kind of teachers u have at berklee I'd rather buy a Chick Corea album.
Yeah, my thinking exactly. He completely misuses 'do re mi fa' as well. Instead of starting the phrygian scale from 'mi' which is where it starts from if you try to translate that particular modal scale into 'do re mi fa' he starts from 'do' and ends up with ridiculous note names. If he started from 'mi' he'd only have to use one modified note name...
so its the dune scale. gotcha
Is anyone else really scared or is it just me?
Turkish Sir, not Turkick.
Raj Harsh it's Turkic
@@iHaveBeenRustled He said Turkic but this style of music he was referring to has more to do with Turkish culture than "Turkic".
