![]() The contents of this course are just one perspective of the harmony, and there are numerous other ways to the same result, which is a better understanding and hearing of music. Course Summaryīy using only one melody, we managed to find a lot of material to use, and it has hopefully opened our mind and our ears to the different keys and harmonic relationships. A little disclaimer these choices might not work with the melody of the tune, and in general, you should use them with caution. This is most commonly applied in the last 4 bars of the B Section, let’s see how this sounds. We can apply the descending 25 progression to the tune “There Will Never Be Another You”. Apply to “There Will Never Be Another You” We will extend this basic progression with the chromatic 25 progression and discuss how we are substituting the chords. The descending chromatic 25 can appear in several situations, one of the most common of which is replacing a descending diminished chord. CHROMATIC MEDIANCE (a general designation that refers to both the mediant and submediant triads) is a simple process of merely changing the quality of these two chords. In this course, we are going to focus on the descending 25, as that is more common to be used in tonal jazz The Descending Chromatic 25 There are two different kinds of chromatic 25s, descending 25s, and ascending 25s. We will now take a step away from the related dominants and we will explore the chromatic 25 progression. Bye-bye for now.Welcome to the last part of this course on Advanced Harmonic Concepts. See you tomorrow with another tip like this. The four basic sequence types can be pleasantly chromaticized with secondary chords. If you get to the middle east and the far east, you get into more chromatic kinds of harmonies and they’re organizational structure of music is different than ours. One more thing, diatonic harmony is used in western music and by that, I don’t mean country western music, I mean, Europe and the Americas. If you enjoy these little tips, come on over to and sign up for tips. This type of chord usually has a short duration in the bar, serving only as a passage to the. For example, in the sequence Dbm7 Dm7, the Dbm7 chord has the chromatic approach function. ![]() That’s really all you need to know about that, so that’s for being with me. Chromatic approach chords (or approach chords) are the chords located one semitone above or below the chord to be resolved, having the same structure. They’re basically diatonic, but they get into chromatic harmony once in a while too. Okay? Now, most songs are made out of both. Diatonic means the you’re based in a given key and you’re only using the notes of that key. That’s a submediant chord, and that’s a leading tone. That’s the fourth chord called a subdominant. If I build a chord on the third degree of scale, that’s E minor, all diatonic because we’re not using any notes that aren’t in the scale. That would be a diatonic chord too but that happen to be major, that’s a D minor. The tonic chord of the key is C, guess what it is? Of course it’s C, isn’t it? That’s a home based court, it’s tonic. If you’re in the key of B, it’s still whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. In diatonic harmony, we have eight keys, eight notes, but they’re always arranged like this, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step, no matter what key you’re in. It’s not diatonic anymore because it goes out of the key. For example, if I’m in B flat and I want to play (plays piano) that note, that’s an augmented chord, but it’s also a chromatic harmony. The contrast to that is chromatic harmony where you use some notes that aren’t in the scale. If I play chords made out of just those scale notes, that’s a diatonic. For example, if you’re playing in a key of B flat so (plays piano) that’s a diatonic scale. ![]() Tonic of course means the tonal center of a key you’re playing in. That word, diatonic, and it puzzle some people, it’s actually made out of two parts dia, D-I-A like diagonal, means across or through. ![]() Today, we’re going to take a look at diatonic harmony and chromatic harmony. You don’t always use all these things, but it’s good to know what other musicians are doing as well. We’re focusing on music theory, some things that every piano player and every musician needs to know. Again, this is Duane and we’re doing a series called Good Stuff You Really Ought to Know About Music. Most Songs Are a Combination of Diatonic Harmony And Chromatic Harmony
