The Hidden Symmetry of the 43 Octatonic Scales and 43 Tetrachords
Author: Dave Creamer
Publisher: Bellasonic Publications LLC
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 838
Book Description
In The Hidden Symmetry of 43 Octatonic Scales and 43 Tetrachords, Creamer provides an extensive explanation and analysis of his system of octatonic (eight-note) harmonizations and melodic organization as well as a series of exercises, complete musical examples and original compositions utilizing the system. While the book includes the diminished scale and all of the eight-note bebop scales, Creamer goes well beyond their traditional use in a jazz context and introduces a vast new musical language where all eight notes are utilized as scale tones creating thousands of chord combinations, tonal colors and melodic possibilities that can be used by improvisers and composers in any musical context for generating new ideas and expanding traditional harmonic and melodic approaches. Guitarists will also benefit from the inherit symmetrical fingerings of the system (eight-notes-per-two-strings) as well as full tablature for all examples have been provided. Much more than a series of possible mathematical combinations, the book is presented as a complete system, and while a thorough theoretical framework is presented for contextual understanding, the music is first and foremost the focus of the work as articulated in the book’s Foreward by Tuck Andress. Perhaps not since George Russell’s book, Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization, has a book had such tremendous potential for modern composers and musicians.

Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns for Guitar
Author: Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation
Publisher: Music Sales Amer
ISBN: 9781780389332
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
(Music Sales America). This book is a condensed, made-for-guitar version of Nicolas Slonimsky's publication Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns the book that musicians as diverse as John Coltrane and Frank Zappa used for ideas and inspiration. Musicians familiar with the original Thesaurus know that it contains a daunting amount of information crammed in its over 230 pages. But there is a definite symmetry and logic in these Slonimsky examples. What appear to be random patterns are actually mathematical combinations of some or all of the twelve notes in music. As the musician/student plays through the examples, the patterns will unfold and become more obvious.

Symmetrical Scales for Jazz Improvisation
Author: Masaya Yamaguchi
Publisher: Masaya Music
ISBN: 0967635322
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Much ink has been spilled on the study of symmetrical scales, producing many method books which at best offer a superficial examination of this broad subject. Regrettably, the few studies that do exist focus on the more familiar symmetrical scales such as the diminished and whole-tone scales. Olivier Messiaen, a distinguished French composer, penned The Technique of My Musical Language, which outlined his own system of symmetrical scale organization as it related to his compositional approach, and thus this system is limited in its usage for more general application. My book is the first of its kind, to my knowledge, to institute a complete system whereby one can examine all the possible symmetrical scales, and hence serves as a companion volume to my former book, The Complete Thesaurus of Musical Scales. This book is intended for musicians, composers and music teachers (and their students), to stimulate their creative impulses towards the exploration of symmetrical scales, as a reference guide and/or a source of inspiration. Although this study focuses on the application of symmetrical scales as they correspond to jazz improvisation, the concepts introduced in my book can be applied to many styles of music and realized on any instrument. I hope that this publication will act as a catalyst to your individual development as a musician. Bon Voyage!

ISBN: 9781105483448
Category : Chords (Music)
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Scott Collins' GuitArchitecture method replaces the standard approach to learning guitar, rote memorization, with a simple, intuitive two-string approach that anyone can learn. This method, where players can actually see scales on a fingerboard, is called sonic visualization, and it can be applied to any scale or modal system.In this book of the GuitArchitecture series, "The GuitArchitect's Guide to Modes: Harmonic Combinatorics", Scott explains how to construct and analyze chords and how to create thousands of variations and progressions from a single chord using his unique visualization method."Harmonic Combinatorics" is a vast harmonic and melodic resource for guitarists. With this approach, you can create an almost infinite number of unique melodic phrases and harmonic devices to compose or improvise your own music.
