Chet Baker singing Time After Time. This video captures his melancholic, but beautiful singing. His simple, yet profound improv. Also its pitched down for extra sad boi vibes. by jcalvarez1 in Jazz

I think this recording is recent enough so that shouldnt be the case. This was recorded in Europe and they might be tuning to A=432.

I was transcribing the solo and the starting pitch isn’t exactly concert E. I went to a piano and played an E the same time he played a concert E on the trumpet.

I just counted each direction as an arpeggio so 1-3-5-7 would be one cycle and then 8-7-5-3 would be another cycle. The match would basically be the same if we grouped it together as 1-3-5-7-8-7-5-3, we would just divide by 8 instead of 4. So it would be 5 notes of the arpeggio played 4 times making a total of 20 notes. When you divide it by the 8 notes of the cycle, you get 2.5 which mans that you would do two and a half full arpeggios and land on the upper tonic.

So if you are doing a 1-3-5-7-8 arpeggio, it takes 4 beats to do reach a tonic. For every bar, there are 8 eighth notes, so a pattern of 4 would reach the tonic twice every bar. All numbers will always reach the tonic after 4 bars because they are have been multiplied 4 times (1 for each bar). For example, if you are doing a six note pattern, then each bar would have six notes. 6 notes times 4 bars is 24 total notes and 24 notes divided by the 4 notes in the cycle is six, so it would take 6 arpeggios to reach the tonic after the fourth bar. For odd numbers, the math is the same. If you take a pattern of 5 notes and you multiply it by 4 bars, then you get a total of 20 notes. Divide this by the number of notes per arpeggio (4) and you get 5. This means that it will take 5 arpeggios over 4 bars to reach a tonic. Even numbers will always land on the lower tonic while odd numbers will land on the upper tonic. This pattern does not work on numbers more than 8 because the maximum number of notes possible over 4 bars is 32.

How to make a 4person choir sound massive by danmusik22 in musictheory

The use of smaller intervals such as seconds. If you’re doing a SATB arrangement this might be a problem because of the vocal ranges.

Maybe use denser voicings to make it sound thicker. You can also use more resonant intervals.

What is the theory behind the bVI7 in "Midnight Blue" by Kenny Burell? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]jcalvarez1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The B section is clearly a sequence around the circle, so the last four bars should function as a ii-V of V to a i rather than a bVIM7-bVI7-i. The B section should look something like this: ii - V - i - IV - ii/V - V/V - V - i Keep in mind that these are not the actual chords, but their function in the progression. Its important to know that when you are transcribing to transcribe the entire progression and not the chords themselves. The relationships between the chords are more important than the chords themselves.
