Agree totally. There's nothing that inherently sounds bad about, say, parallel fifths. Or crossing lines. And where would Wes Montgomery have been without parallel octaves? The SATB "rules" were mainly focused on avoiding things that might blur the independence of the parts.
I know this is late but by satb counterpoint you mean satb in general right? Like why learn satb in general right? I loved your answer and needed more context. Honestly I do not want to go through an hour of a video to know why i should learn it or a waste of time.
@@unknowninfinium4353 Yes, SATB in general. The "rules" i.e. guidelines are there to avoid things like parallel movement of voices, etc., which weakens the lines/voices. Now, that is not to say parallel movement is bad, as it can be very useful in creating certain types of harmonies and interesting effects. It's just in the context of a certain type of "counterpoint" (particularly from the Baroque era) independence of lines is highly valued. This is often referred to as "contrary motion," one voice moves up while another moves down. I think every minute you spend watching and learning from Rick Beato is time well spent. He is a rare type of genius who can do what he says, communicate and demonstrate it, and has a unique and deep insight into the workings of Western music.
Glenn Gould really caught my attention when he mentioned Bach was one of music's greatest non-conformists, but in a backward sense. While his contemporaries were moving away from 'lifeless' (my own description) church music, he further explored what complexities it could yield. I'd be interested to hear EDM applied with these principles. I would have posted the URL but I didn't want to unintentionally flag your video! Great live stream.
Rick, re: NYC: I'm from upstate, but will be in NYC this weekend for the AES meeting. They hold it there every two years in October. If you're still doing this in two years, maybe consider scheduling a visit around the meeting.
This is the type of stuff that I'm really interested in. When I first started music, I learned fugue and that led me to purchasing Fux's lessons of Counterpoint in the book, "The Study of Counterpoint." I dove head in and was extremely confused, especially since the teaching methods were a bit dated for someone in the 21st century to pick up without having a foundation of knowledge on theory. It's also coincidental since I've been thinking about revisiting Counterpoint as I'm a bit older now. Thank you!
love your channel! I like learning the rules. The rules make sense. And you can go by the rules to make something great. But the greatest will break those rules in order to get their point across. So keep talking about the rules, and everyone creative, keep breaking them. Says an old school writer and blues listener
Some people will argue that the tritone is the farthest note away, others will argue that 2 notes in the V chord are the farthest away (B & F in the V of C) and their tension resolves into the I chord. I argue that there is no note that is farthest away because all notes contain all notes and the problem is just about hearing it, i.e., if you have the sensitivity of a dog's ear. Bach smoked a lot of tobacco and drank a lot of beer and this would heighten his perceptions. His son PDQ Bach continued in that illustrious tradition of smoking and drinking a lot and became a virtuoso in drinking wine.... he practiced all the time.
What ? I just heard you mention 'Baden Powell' and my ears lit up. His Afro-Sambas are gorgeous in their deceptive simplicity. 'Negative harmony' ... gotta check that out.
Why I don't subscribe: Monday I thought today I will watch what Rick Beato has done lately. I looked over your latest videos and when I got one month back I recognised the video. This means that I haven't looked at any of your newer videos for a month. During that time you have made 20 videos. Meanwhile I have a backlog of your older videos that I am watching (Film Scoring, Music Theory etc.). Some of those videos I have watched several times. Receiving a mail for each new video would only annoy me - In due time I will watch it if it lookes interesting. -Ronny
+rys61se You know Ronny, I know what kind of videos you like but you can't tell by the titles. My Exotic scales video is really a Film Scoring video that I did one week ago but you don't know that because of the tile. Just because my videos don't say music theory or film scoring in the title doesn't mean that's not what they're about. That's the problem with scanning through titles. By putting those things in the title it actually limits who watches the video. I've made 360 videos in the past year and I don't make videos for one type of person. That being said, I'm going to lay off the live streaming for a while. their way to connect with people and answer questions but not a good way to present material. You will like the video I put out tomorrow. Thanks
Hey Rick, this is unrelated to the video, but have you tried getting your son into metal-centric keyboard soloing? I was always inspired by Sonata Arctica growing up, and if I started on the piano I DEFINITELY would have been inspired to play. Jens Johansson did some marvelous work on Sonata Arctica's early work. His keyboard tone is legendary. Jordan from Dream Theater is also fantastic as everyone knows, but has Dylan actually been immersed in that particular way of playing keys?
Hi Rick, greetings from argentina. I'm taking notes of every video about film scoring I see from your channel, I think its the best channel ever here in youtube about that topic. I have a request, can you analize the music from a composer called johann johansson? He made the music for sicarioa, arrival, theory of everything, etc. Its a great composer and wanted to know what are your thoughts about his tecnic. Thanks again for the awesome dedication. - Daniel
DepressedCapitalist Hey loco! Beato es un genio, sinceramente me veo cada video de el, aprendo de todo y Johanson que te puedo decir, si bien es minimalista el tipo tiene una personalidad muy única al componer que me cautiva. Un abrazo querido, lo mejor para vos
Ironically enough I went ti get a music local in my college to play piano for fun. I went by my ild bass teacher in high school in college I throw at her the question on how to write proper inverted chords on the first degree and second degree. I think I'm on the right way to fully understand it, but I just need a little lore time assimilate all of that information. But I asked her what are parallel fifth and also think I finally know what parallel fifth are well I think!!! After all this time of hearing that word parallel fifth I think I really get it now well almost. Ahah that was all I had to say. lol Anyways you sir keep up the good work with your vids I think I'm really starting to understand music theory by the way don't go too hard on my with that cause I'm actually learning music theory by my own with the ethernet and and asking question to real people that enlighten if I was write or wrong about my interpretation of music theory.
But other then that with iut your vids I wouldn't be where I'm at now. Ahah still not a fan of Jazz-y stuff (quoting Aime Nolte Music quote) yeah the J word. :P I'm not where to understand and play with jazz chords and all of that but still I really like watching your videos even though I might not always understand everything but I can still always come back to it to re watch it once in a while. :) Hopefully soon enough I'll understand jazz and be able to play around with it. I don't really like all genres of jazz but the old one of the 50s 60s is kinda a blues I don't know that's the one that puts a smile to my face. Hopefully I'll get to understand the structure of this style of jazz one day at a time one day at a time. Thanks for the videos again Rick! :)
Hey Rick, interesting topic. You mentioned you had an 'academy' where you will teach this topic. Can you please provide the details. I'd love to learn this proper like :p
Hi Rick. Incredible channel, btw. Your videos make me feel like I really should get into a conservatory somewhere and put in the time and effort required to flow with you as you explain these core concepts. Here's my question though: Can I live a life of music composition (on the order of Wagner/Bach), plus music performance (Rock, Blues, Jazz, Pop, etc) on the Guitar and the Piano/Keyboard, AND still do a 9 - 5 job doing something else (like IT Support, for example)? Does that sound feasible...?
"Jambalaya" by Hank Williams uses a sixth in the main part of the melody, and it works, but it is a rare exception. He moves to a five chord, which is how he gets away with it.
What I have thought for years is that even though there is a very evolved theory for harmonic progression and counterpoint, there does not exist and equally well developed theory for melodic progression or rhythmic progression in order to create the most pleasing music possible. There are theories to be sure, but most theory books just the say that the melodic and rhythmic elements are engaging and dynamic and or interesting which doesn't really tell you much. In other words music theory is still 2/3 unfinished by my reckoning. If it was completely finished then anyone who understood such a theory would by able to write compositions that were equal to the best masterworks every created. In other words it's not gonna happen. Neural Nets with massive parallelism anyone?
Yes he does. And more than that as well. Too bad when he died, most of his stuff died with him, or was left with students like me. Due to copyright, I can't give it away unfortunately.
Hey Rick, you talk a lot about Tom Petty and the Beatles and their importance but we lost another great, very influential musician this year, Greg Allman. With you living in Georgia and the Allman Brothers being one of the greatest bands from that state, what are your thoughts on the Allman Brothers and their influence on what we know as “southern rock” and the Jam band/modern improve music? Also thoughts on Duane’s influence on the guitarist that followed.
I though they would be right up your ally as they rely heavily on improvisation and draw from jazz but I just haven't ever heard you speak about them and I have watched a lot of your videos. I keep meaning to ask you on your live chats but always seem to miss them or my questions get missed
it seems like they don't get as much recognition, outside of a select circle, as other bands of that era but essentially started the southern rock genre and greatly influenced the Jam band scene along with the Dead
and speaking of Jam bands you should do a sounding off with Trey Anastasio of Phish. I know you mentioned you have worked with him! I'm sure he was influenced by ABB
I don't understand why you constructed an overtone series by stacking major thirds. That seems completely different to the overtone series I learnt about
For me, Bach's great genius, perhaps more than any other composer, except maybe Beethoven?, was to reuse the past. In BWV 54, I hear echoes of Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Is it just me. I feel Bach distilled the spiritual essence out of the most advanced techniques. Why shouldn't we do the same?
Everytime he hits that sixth over the A major chord I can't help myself singing "Bohemian Raphsody" (the piano melody in the "Mama...just killed a man" part). funny thing is it actually resolves to the fifth, and without that, it would just become a "too stable" and not a very progressive sound for the harmony.
Bb7 sus4?? But there's a D in it and I thought in a sus4 chord the replaces the 3rd? Couldn't that chord be an Eb maj7 sus4 (add 2)?? I'm talking about the bach chord around the 22min mark
+sahsplishsplash It's acting as a Bb7 chord because of where goes. The whole first section is in E flat. So it's a dominant over tonic. The most obvious structure is a Bb7 chord in second inversion.
Not quite sure if the question in the subject of the video actually got answered.. Love these talks and associative talks about music but they are sometimes too much off topic. I listened 52mins and didn't really hear about why it's important to be aware of tonal harmony, except that it's practical when you're voicing stuff. This comment is meant to be constructive, not negative, I hope I succeeded in that.

Bunch of Classical music back in my music conservatory days. It always sounded as if the composer thought they were being clever, but it came off like a bad pun to my ears.
I use Neapolitan chords sometimes. It used to be a pretty common progression to end a song with: b6 - b2 - I. In the key of C major, it would be AbM7 - DbM7 - C2 sounds great to me. I like to add the Major sevenths and the sus2. From what I understand, the mere fact that it is build on the b2 of the scale qualifies it as a Neapolitan chord, but I could be mistaken. I don't think I've ever used a Neapolitan 6th chord, however, but you just mentioned Neapolitan chords in general.
Yeah, that progression is OK. It was what I heard in "Classical music" that sounded lame. As I recall, it was the chord used prior to the Neopolitan that typically the progression sound wonky.
The main reason for using SATB counterpoint is to maintain independence and interest in each line of music.
Agree totally. There's nothing that inherently sounds bad about, say, parallel fifths. Or crossing lines. And where would Wes Montgomery have been without parallel octaves? The SATB "rules" were mainly focused on avoiding things that might blur the independence of the parts.

I never thought about the overtone series implications of using the 6th in a melody. Good point.

Glenn Gould & Russell Oberlin: Bach Cantata BWV 54/Widerstehe doch der Sünde (Just resist sin),BWV 54
Very impressive to hear how well you're embedded in the history of music! Glad I found your channel!
When you played the 6th over the A triad, I heard the 6th in the song "The Way We Were." There are nice songs that use the 6th over a simple triad.
Can you please make a video of you playing the pump organ. Those things are so cool.
Rick I'd love to come see you if your in NYC. Look fwd to hearing more about it.
I saw your channel growing the last few months, congrats man!! You deserve by your effort and wisdom...:)

And yet the 6th is really common in melodies in early 20th century popular music, and swing era jazz. Why is that do you think?

Check the wikipedia, it lists some popular songs using the chord and popular uses for the chord. Sounds quite smooth to me to be honest!
Yeah, that progression is OK. It was what I heard in "Classical music" that sounded lame. As I recall, it was the chord used prior to the Neopolitan that typically the progression sound wonky.
