Hi Guys

This may be a post that could be moved to the new Music Theory forum rather than Production forum
Sascha, others ...what do you think ...shall I leave it or move it there? Seems a prime candidate to me for the new forum, though there is a bit of overlap with production techniques also.

Anybody mind if I move it?
Paul

Sure, move it.

Sascha - I may have said some time in the past when you expounded on musical theory at KvR, but I'd love to just insert all your knowledge in my head - Matrix style.

Today I'll learn "Music Theory according to Sascha Franck"......ziiiiiiiiiip! Done!

I'm going to go back and read your posts scattered throughout this thread and if I'm energetic enough, collate it into a text file.

Regards
Caleb

Yeah Sascha really has a knack for teaching theory, what he wrote is truely clear and it really got me started, I hope he gets his posting about it further.

Well, seems Compyfox had not all that much of a further interest in it so far.
I'll try to see what I can come up with in the theory forum one day...

Well, I didn't followed all that it was written on this thread and maybe I'm gonna repeat what was allready said, but looking at the score I would go with the "almost" major D scale. I'm saying almost because there is that B flat that doesn't fit in. It's an altered modal scale constructed on major D for the first four notes: D,E,F#,G, and harmonic minor D for the next four notes: A,Bb,C#,D.
There is a G# in the second part, but it has only a secondary role (melody coloration).

As for a simple chord progression (of course this can be done in many ways, but this is just a simple alternative):first part
D-D-D-D-Gm-Gm-A4-A
D-D-D-D-Gm-Gm-A4-A
second part
D-E(!)-D-D-Gm-Gm-D(4)-D
D-E-D-D-Gm-Gm-D(4)-D

As I said this is just a very simple harmonization, the only somehow surprising thing being that major E chord on the second part, bar 2 and 10.

Really, nothing against you, but over the holidays I moved a step back and now I rather try to get into some books and videos ("How music works" with Howard Goodall, I can really recommend that).

So your help is definitely appreciated, no doubt. I just take it down for now and if I have further questions, I simply ask. There're no stupid questions, just stupid answers and the stupidity not to ask.

Well don't hesitate to pay me a visit in my thread

(My first "post-theory" homework), your knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Compy, forget your game melody.

and spend 5 min coming up with your own simple melody (in one key) and I'll send you $20 if you can't easily find chords to support it.
