Was revisiting an older video of yours to refresh my mind on a topic I hadn’t used in forever. So glad you are still posting and always with the best predisposition to teach people! You have a wonderful talent to keep videos excellently paced. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you so much! It was definitely when you mentioned that the chords functions are "gone", that I finally understood the polychord concept. Before this video, I always saw them as extended chords. 20 years looking for an answer! You are great, good sir!
@@MusicMattersGB I’m being serious in case you’re unsure 😃 Would love to get your take on chromatic mediants. Would be an interesting video I’m sure 🙏🏼
Thanks Answer...When my Parrot joins in with my playing😅 Seriously, thankyou for the knowledge. I like to support people providing musical education for free.
Thank you for the clear explanation! (I'm wondering, might we one day have a video on Scriabin's piano music? Specifically the preludes. Gosh, I love them.)
Jay Beard Music has some great analysis vids on RUclips if Scriabin. I studied a few preludes and was shocked at how much of it was just the "mystic chord" and the octotonic set, great music though
Hi! You said it sounded great, but you wondered if you "can" do that? If it sounds good, then YES you can! Theory is subordinate to practice. Theory is derived from practice. In other words, practice is the first thing; much of our theory of harmony, almost all of it, in fact, came from a study of the "common practice" of composers from approx. 1650 to 1900 AD. But Bach, Beethoven, and company were all just writing what worked, and sounded good. The flip side is that something may be technically "correct" from a theory standpoint, but not sound very good. Always let "ear and flow" be your guide; what sounds good and what serves the music/song. Some groups like The Beatles, one of the many reasons they were so good is that they didn't "know" they "weren't supposed to try" certain things, like suddenly making the Dominant a minor, such as in "I Want to Hold You Hand." But I think we could all agree that it SOUNDS GREAT!! :)

Thank you so much for your support. Much appreciated.
Clear explanation of difference between function of extended cf polychord
😀
Thank you so much! It was definitely when you mentioned that the chords functions are "gone", that I finally understood the polychord concept. Before this video, I always saw them as extended chords. 20 years looking for an answer! You are great, good sir!
That’s great!
I believe it could be either way depending upon what you wanna do now that you see both ways it could go
😀
A great writing tool. Perfectly explained and illustrated by you as always. Thank you!
A pleasure.
That was very helpful. Your first example brought to my mind Stephen Sondheim, who seemed partial to that kind of writing.
Absolutely
Nice introduction to polychord and extension❤
😀
many thanks for the detailed explanation.
Glad it’s helpful. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
This guy's good man I like the way he teaches he's a teacher.
Most kind. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Really interesting. Thanks Gareth
It offers new harmonic flavours.
Thanks! I’ve always wondered about polychords.
😀

@annelouisemaclellan485 We could cover that.
A wonderful harmonic analysis of the verse of Billy Joel’s 1978 classic, Only the Good Die Young…
😀
You are a force for good in the world

@privacee1845 😀
I use often so chords, In my opinion, the most important thing is to learn to listen to them and solute them
😀
I once used Em and Am over each other and was like "wow, this sounds great in this context - but can I do that?" Now I understand what I was doing!
Excellent

@davidjohnson1654 I’m glad you agree that “if it sounds good, go for it”. I’m always saying that.
Thanks again, but do you have any further thoughts as to why parallel fifths do no seem matter when using polychords?
The advice on parallels primarily applies to four part harmony. Also polychords are often not functional in progression.
Does the musical cup play a tune?😂🤣, but seriously the video was interesting. The third example i wanted to add a melody.
😀
Thank you!

Sir did you posted any videos on modal modulation or is it in any course?
Not yet but it could be covered
Hi sir, Could you please upload about the sonata form

Another cool lesson, thank you! A great example occurs in #2 of "Three Score Set" by William Schuman. ruclips.net/video/-_rILvFPpN0/видео.html
