Luis Hernández Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Lately, I've been studying Linear Harmony, what it is and how to use it. The best way is to write pieces. This is an example. Yes, I know there are some b9 intervals, I wrote them on purpose... This is a wonderful tool... #3 - SCORE.pdf MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu #3 > next PDF #3 - SCORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Interesting... I'm not sure how you learned linear harmony, but you filled in the passing chord tones with some strange intervals at times. Measure 13, for example, obviously fills in space before the next chord tone with a step-wise motion, so that part works, but juxtaposing minor seconds and such within the bounds of one passing chord is strange the me. The results are cool, though, definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks @Monarcheon ... I have to study a lot more about this, yet. I know sometimes the non-chord tones resolve in non traditional ways. But I think the concept can be taken further. Not many information available about linear harmony. The course on you tube (free) by Alan Belkin is wonderful. I've been reading a book by Bert Ligon "connecting chords with linear harmony" but this is more oriented to outline phrases in jazz, also interesting... This concept works fine in classic and contemporary environments and I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark101 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi Luis, I'm always impressed by and jealous of your thirst and capacity to learn and absorb and put to use, as many different and interesting aspects of music as you possibly can, I wish I had that ability.

markstyles Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi Luis; With the descending melody, and the chord resolutions. I feel like I'm drifting down slowly thru space. The floating in/out of consonance/dissonance is intriguing.. I also appreciate your seeking out musical processes, exploring them, and creating a short piece of them..
