companion work to Music Theory: The Language of Sound

KarrArikh Tor • Boek • loose-leaf

  • Samenvatting
    This book displays all the naturally occurring chords in each Major Key, along with the relative modes and modified minor Keys associated with it. Each Key has 2 pages. Left side contains Key name, Key Signature, notes in the Key, triad chords, seventh chords, suspended chords, and all relative modes. Right side contains all “added” note chords and extended chords in the Key.

    Each column contains all chords built from the scale degree shown above the chords in a coloured circle. Each row contains chords of a similar layout. The type of chord is stated in text above the rows. A cell contains only one chord. Dark blue numbers in the grey top bar are the scale degrees used in the chord, with triad numbers above the added numbers. Dark red letters below the symbol are the notes in the chord, shown in same manner.

    Graphics in this reference book use colours to separate the Scale Degrees. Red denotes the 1st scale degree, the tonic of the Major Key scale. This is the note that the Key is named after. Pink denotes the 2nd scale degree. Purple denotes the 3rd scale degree. Blue denotes the 4th scale degree. Green denotes the 5th scale degree. Yellow/Lime denotes the 6th scale degree. Orange denotes the 7th scale degree.

    Looking at the chords built from the Major Key scale, there are 3 Major triad chords (built from the 1st, 4th, and 5th scale degrees), 3 minor triad chords (built from the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th scale degrees), and 1 diminished chord (built from the 7th scale degree) naturally occurring in a Major Key. In Western Traditional music theory, chords built from the scale degrees of the Major Key are noted using Roman numerals. Using Capital Roman numerals represents the Major chords, as with the I, IV and V chords. Using the lower case Roman numeral represents the minor chords, as with the ii, iii, and vi chords. Using a lower case Roman numeral with an added diminished symbol represents the seventh scale degree chord, viio.

Fragment

Transposing songs from one Key to another
The Key of any melody on a staff can be changed to any other Key by raising or lowering all the notes involved by the same number of half-steps. Let us transpose Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from the Key of C Major to the Key of G Major. We will transpose the song up 7 half-steps to G Major from C Major (we could also transpose the song 5 half-steps down to G Major from C Major). Every note in our melody must be moved seven half-steps higher than we saw in C Major. We can transpose note by note or by using the scale degrees of our Major Key. In any Major Key, the scale degrees are built from the tonic note. Therefore, the easiest manner to transpose is to use the scale degrees.

Here is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in C Major with scale degrees.

scale degrees 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th
C Major C D E F G A B
G Major G A B C D E F♯

chords
C Major C Dm Em F G Am Bo
G Major G Am Bm C D Em F♯o

Now we can work on our melody in the Key of G Major. From the previous staves: all C notes become G notes, all D notes become A notes, all E notes become B notes, all F notes become C notes, all G notes become D notes, all A notes become E notes, and all B notes become F♯ notes. In G Major, our I-IV-V7 chords are G Major, C Major and D7. The G Major arrangement is identical in the relationship between the tonic note of the Key and the melody as the C Major arrangement is.
