Wonderful explanation - this goes a long way towards demystifying the score - which can appear so intimidating and complex on first glance! Also, you really explain the differences between the short score and open score. Just terrific - thank you as always for such a wonderful lesson!!
I play instruments that cause me to have to use all 4 standard clefs - cello uses bass, tenor, and treble. I also play the viola da gamba which add the alto to the list... Basically, the trend has been to simplify and reduce the number of clefs in use. We no longer use baritone, Soprano, or French violin clefs for example
Great explanation, thank you. In the initial piano part, as shown, why are there two bass clefs within the braces, rather than a treble and bass as there is in the subsequent bars?
Often a piano part uses a treble clef and a bass clef but quite frequently piano parts use two treble clefs or two bass clefs when the notes get higher or lower in pitch.
Very nice video! Question about placement of the dynamic markings - I see they are right in the middle of the staff lines, is this a choral convention? Instrumental music has them below the staff. I assume this is to avoid crashing with the lyrics.
I came across one of your videos a couple of days ago. I should tell that was one of the best RUclips recommendations in my life. I've been keep waiting your videos since that day and probably will and definitely click on that join button. I got a one tiny question. I saw your website any your courses. I am planning to have Keyboard Harmony course but is there a really big difference between here and there? Is there any video/content that we can watch it thru your website not in here?
Hi. Great to hear from you. There is a huge difference between RUclips and video course content. On RUclips there are tasters on a wide variety of musical topics. The website courses take you on a progressive A-Z journey ie it’s a full course.
Another great video! There are other clefs that were previously used that still seem like they would be useful for choral singing: the tenor and alto clefs, for example. Do you know why these have fallen into desuetude, at least for choral singing?
it's just easier..I actually started on a FLUTE...so got used to reading notes on the treble or ABOVE the lines.Then I transfer to a TENOR SAX. I sort of struggle reading notes BELOW the lines..and of course my music teacher had the bright idea that I should play the TUBA SAX ( i suppose he taught more variety of instrument in our concert/marching band would be better)...So I had learn how to read on the BASS clef. i thought it was a SHORE..but it help me over all as a musician. As a conductor...he would had to read everything in multiple octaves from multiple instruments.... He also had another student play the FRENCH Horn... Everything..she was reading was in a DIFFERENT KEY..becuase her instrument was tuned to a different KEY than mine...So he also had to TAKE the time to explain to her ...and me...and the rest of kids that was struggling. But...he would get us to ALTER or play different instruments as the years go on.. But he taught all of us from early childhood ( 2nd grade through High school) He was a good music teacher ( at the time I didnt think so.lol) Later in life I record my own music...There's all kinds of stuff happening in multiple octaves,..MULTIPLE TRACKS... different instruments. ect Then I learn about CLIPPING..Sound waves canceling out other sound waves. I suppose back in the days...They had to use a crap load ( flutes/violins) to PUNCH THROUGH.over the BASS. I play the electric guitar...when live...I'll use a BOOST or chorus... but the chorus has to hook to multiple speaker OUT PUT..to make it sound FULLER. Higher or distortion sound waves are THINNER. Some people...double track for recordings to solve clipping.

Another excellent lesson. Interesting discussion of when soprano alto tenor bass should be assigned to two versus four staves
Thanks!
Glad it’s helpful. Hope you’re well.
You always seem to know what I'm working on haha! Thank you very much!

The real question is why did we give up writing tenor parts in tenor clef? (Not to mention alto parts in alto clef!)
It’s probably a good thing we did. Many tenors would be lost in the tenor clef.
I play instruments that cause me to have to use all 4 standard clefs - cello uses bass, tenor, and treble. I also play the viola da gamba which add the alto to the list...

Often a piano part uses a treble clef and a bass clef but quite frequently piano parts use two treble clefs or two bass clefs when the notes get higher or lower in pitch.
Hi, Please, why does convention for open score write the tenor part in treble clef rather than bass clef to avoid need for the octave transposition?
Good question. It’s a convention we’ve used for a very long time. Using the treble clef reduces the need for many ledger lines in the bass clef.
Very nice video! Question about placement of the dynamic markings - I see they are right in the middle of the staff lines, is this a choral convention? Instrumental music has them below the staff. I assume this is to avoid crashing with the lyrics.
Thank you. Yes, you don’t want dynamics colliding with lyrics.
Thank for the videos most insightful useful , taken a while all watched.

I think it was basically a desire to simplify from four different clefs to two.
But as per the theory of harmonization, crossing over of voices is forbidden, isn't it?
It’s not forbidden but it’s something we would do sparingly when there is good reason to do so.
