4. Triads over tensions

Approach Voicings

2. Different rhythms and string combinations are examined.

1. Modal and diatonic approaches to quartal harmony.

2. Musical examples including II - V - I situations.

Song Examples

- Examination of chromatic motion in each voice or voices of four-part harmonic structures.

Fourth Voicings

New Voicings

1. Organization of major and minor triads over various bass notes.

Altered Dominant

1. Various rhythms and chord omissions (rests) are suggested to be used over the existing examples throughout this text.

1. Chromatic guidelines over a single chord:

1. Harmonic Foundations

6. Symmetrical motion

one line / two lines / three and four lines

3. 32-bar song form demonstrating the various uses of fourth voicings.

3. Contrary motion: various contrary chromatic combinations are presented in II - V - I examples and some extended chord progressions.

Triad over Bass Voicings

2. Enharmonic possibilities of each structure.

3. "Upper-structure triads" - triads over different 7th and 6th chords.

5. Triads over bass arpeggios

7. Diatonic motion

8. Contrary motion

9. "Unavailable" half-steps

10. Doublings

11. Reharmonization

- A combination of the voicing techniques and substitutions presented in this text will be used to reharmonize various chord progressions found in different songs.

Conclusion

- Suggestions for continued harmonic study including different voicing sizes and string combinations

Section I - Harmonic Concepts and Voicing Types

Rhythm

- Completes the available voicings within this text's established framework on the middle four strings.

Enharmonic Substitutions on 9th Chords with omitted third or fifth

- Examination of the various functions in these non-drop 2 type voicings

Tension Additions on Diminished 7th Chords

- Symmetrical and diatonic approach to the addition of tensions on diminished chords and examination of various functions.

Constant Structure Harmonic Motion

1. Multi-function examination of a single voicing and chord type

Symmetrical Dominant Substitutions

- Dominant functions of whole-tone and diminished are examined.

- Examination of harmonies derived from the "altered" scale; 1 Flat 2 Sharp 2 3 Flat 5 Sharp 5 Flat 7.

- In depth examination of chromatic, diatonic, and dominant approach techniques relative to four-note voicings.

2. Examination of various scales for their quartal harmonic potential.

4. Different functions of fourth voicings derived from the Pentatonic scale

Chromatic Guidelines

- Various parallel and/or contrary chromatic motion combinations are superimposed over different string combinations.

2. Chromatic guidelines over chord changes:
