Voici un traité de contrepoint rigoureux mettant en oeuvre les principes de base de l'écriture tonale. Les règles en vigueur, en accord avec celles de l'harmonie, sont intégrées au contrepoint d'espèce. Nous nous éloignons donc du contrepoint modal dont traitent de nombreux ouvrages et entrons de plain-pied dans le monde usuel de la tonalité. Comme chez Fux, l'apprentissage se fonde ici sur le jeu des espèces. Mais l'exercice est remanié de sorte que la pratique d'une espèce se trouve intégrée à la suivante. Au total, l'on compte cinq espèces combinant graduellement différentes valeurs de note, auxquelles se greffent au passage les emprunts tonaux aux degrés les plus forts. Après un chapitre consacré à l'étude du contrepoint renversable, on trouvera de nombreux Cantus Firmus, spécifiques aux espèces ! Le volume propose également plusieurs exemples tirés du répertoire mettant en lumière les aspects fondamentaux du langage tonal.Sous la supervision du maître, l'étudiant doit découvrir la progression harmonique suggéré par le Cantus Firmus, la noter sous la portée, et composer un contrepoint fondé sur les principes de complémentarité des contours, de fluidité syntaxique et de conduite des voix précisés dans le volume. Les règles claires et concises l'amènent à comprendre les bases de l'écriture contrapuntique tonale. De ce fait, l'apprentissage du contrepoint peut se faire en symbiose avec celui de l'harmonie puisque leurs fondements sont les mêmes. / Formation Musicale

Inside Improvisation : vol. 6 Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language. The first chapters of this volume on learning the language of jazz focus on the prerequisites of chord scales, approach notes to chord tones and target notes, scale motives and sequences, and lines. Part two qualifies improvisational techniques into three areas; melodic, harmonic and sonic (rhythmic devices are the focus of Vol. IV, Melodic Rhythms) and it is designed as a menu of soloing devices from which you can select your personal course of study. Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, laying back on the... The CD contains twelve standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos. Renato Chicco - piano Dave Santoro - bass Adam Nussbaum - drums

The Melakarta System-Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory. It demonstrates a new archetype in music composition for composers of any genre aswell as composition teachers and anyone interested in ethnomusicology. This book contains a set of 12 etudes for piano and transcriptions for classical guitar. Each etude is about one minute in length and utilizes notesfrom a particular Indian scale. An intermediate to advanced skill level is required to perform each etude. Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one?s musical perspective beyond traditionaldiatonic scales. Indian music has intrigued the West for a long time but hasn?t always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire. Just as the Western harmonic system iswell developed the Indian melodic system is very advanced and equally established. The intermingling of these two worlds can inspire new exceptional sonic landscapes. Useful literature on the evolution of the Indianmelodic system is also included with notes on how it can be used as a modus operandi by Western musicians who wish to apply Indian scales in Western compositions and improvisations. Includes access to online audio.

Cet ouvrage permet d'associer étroitement Formation Musicale et apprentissage instrumental dès le 1er cycle.

L'originalité de ce manuel progressif réside dans la possibilité, pour chaque élève du cours de Formation Musicale (1ère année)
- de lire dans la clé de son instrument tout en approchant les autres clés
- d'intégrer les schémas rythmiques par des jeux d'improvisation vocale et instrumentale
- de découvrir la pratique collective (instrumentale, vocale) par des duos, trios, canons.

Ainsi justifiée par sa relation directe avec l'instrument, la lecture solfégique apparaît sous un jour nouveau, re-dynamise l'enseignement musical et place le jeune musicien en situation immédiate d'instrumentiste. / Solfège / Livre / Spirale /
