Hi Guys,
Today, a look at employing 12 tone rows for Quartal and Quintal improvising and composing.
Here is the first row: Notice the movement of 5ths and 4ths.
Now, we will play it backwards with retrograde motion or reversal: Also, notice the use of changing register.
Full 2 bars:
In this next example we will employ Triadic movement and semitone connections.
In the following part we connect triads directly:
Finally, we will add some non 12 tone notes to complete the phrase:
From here we will exploit the tone row and make 4 bars of music from it: Here is the 12 tone row:
We will now copy it and change register: Notice that the last four notes descend:
Now, that we have this we will reverse both bars and create another 2 bars of music:
Lastly we will join together 2 different rows: We will break these up a bit with the first part acting more like a vamp:
The second part employs quintal and quuartal movement once again:
