I wonder if some expert in contemporary classical music could address me to some examples of that voicing used also in instrumental compositions. I would like to know who was the "inventor" of this harmonic solution Il 23/03/2016 15:04, Don Hart ha scritto: > It really depends on harmonic context

Yes! Gene Puerling largely used that thing, besides of many "unconventional" harmonization tricks. I rehearsed yesterday that arrangement too, very hard to pick those intervals for the singers singing the harmony parts Il 23/03/2016 15:04, Don Hart ha scritto: > It really depends on harmonic

It really depends on harmonic context and function. Was at a rehearsal the other day of Gene Puerling's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and he used a similar voicing for the tonic chord at the end of a cadence--9th in the bass. Seems this is an example of where chord symbols fail. In most

From a jazz perspective, I would call it a C9sus4 chord, or Bb/C (these two symbols are considered to be interchangeable and mean the same chord function.) It’s a suspended dominant chord, where the suspensions don’t need to resolve, but sometimes they do, to a C7 or some other form of C7

Thanks, in fact I was not clear. In terms of chord symbol I know where I am, I meant if this sequence of intervals gas a specific academic name. Thnx I would use C sus. All the best, Diddi Sigurdur Jonsson 27, Von der Heydt 66115, Saarbrücken Deutschland diddiste...@gmail.com > On 23. mar.

A simple way of defining it would be B flat/C [B flat major with a C in the bass] or B flat major 2nd inversion, with C in the bass. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? David McKay On 23 March 2016 at 18:40, Marcello Noia wrote: > Hi, due to my huge lackness

Hi, due to my huge lackness in harmonical theory, I ask this: is there a technical term to define a chord formed by (starting from low note) perfect fourth-perfect fourth-major third (for example C-F-Bb-D). I see it often used in vocal arrangements (Jonathan Rathbone for Swingle Singers for
