Description

Melody and Rhythm is a two-year course of study in sight singing and aural skills. This is Semester 3 of 4 (Chapters 13 through 18). Semester 3 is compatible with all systems of pitch and rhythm pedagogy. Rhythmically, Semester 3 covers irregular rhythms (such as quadruplets and three against four) in Chapter 13, changing meters in Chapter 15, and odd and composite meters (such as 7/4 and 2+2+3/8) in Chapter 17. Melodically, Semester 3 begins with basic key relationships (such as modulating to the parallel major/minor and to the dominant) in Chapter 14, more key relationships (such as modulating to the subdominant, supertonic, submediant, and mediant) in Chapter 16, and modes of the major scale in Chapter 18. Distinguishing features: High quality examples: 90 rhythms and 240 melodies; Wide range of styles and composers: from Renaissance counterpoint to funky grooves; Smooth pacing; Ample minor key material; Duets and canons for sing-play activities; Listening examples to ground concepts in music from popular culture; Examples with figured bass, harmonic analysis, and lead-sheet-style chord symbols; Jam sessions for group improvisation; Consistent structure for ease of use; Emphasis on music by women; Text Outline: 13 Irregular Rhythms 1 Three in the Time of Two, Two in the Time of Three 2 Three in the Time of Four, Four in the Time of Three 3 Three Against Four 14 Basic Key Relationships 1 Parallel and Relative Major/Minor 2 Tonicizing the Dominant 3 Modulating to the Dominant 4 More Movement to the Dominant 15 Changing Meters 1 Changing Like Meters 2 Mixing Simple and Compound with a Constant Division 3 Mixing Simple and Compound with a Constant Beat 16 More Key Relationships 1 Tonicizing the Subdominant 2 Modulating to the Subdominant 3 Secondary Key Areas in Major 4 Secondary Key Areas in Minor 17 Odd and Composite Meters 1 Quintuple and Septuple Meters 2 Composite Meters 3 Changing Composite Meters 18 Modes of the Major Scale 1 Lydian and Dorian 2 Mixolydian and Phrygian 3 Modal Melodies Written in the Parallel Major Key 4 Modal Melodies Written in the Parallel Minor Key
