|  | Assignment 7 1) Sight Singing 2) Dictation: The following three tunes have notes in them that are from other scales or borrowed from a minor scale. First write out the tune, as best you can, then identify the non-scalar notes and state what scales they come from, finally, try to assign chords to the tunes. Some of you may find this hard. Just do your best. 1) In Bflat major, starting on the downbeat, in 4/4 time. 2) In D Major, in 4/4 time, starting on an 8th note upbeat. 3) In G major, in 4/4 time, starting on the downbeat. 3) Composition: Take the dictation tunes you wrote down for part 2, and using the chords progressions you determined, compose a new version of each tune, prolonging the same chords. If you had trouble with the dictation, then just experiment writing 3 tunes that use scale shifts/tonicization of one sort or another. Remember, the scale shifts are usually quite short and temporary. Be sure to try and sing your tunes. If you have trouble singing them, make them easier to sing. Above and beyond: find a song or two that uses scale changes/tonicization and/or modal mixture (borrowing from the minor) and write out as much as you can. |
