412 THE MOST COMMON IN BRAZIL FULL CHROMATIC TONALITY OF 12 NOTES THROUGH 3 DIATONIC SCALES IN HARMONIC RELATION

 3 Diatonic scales in harmonic relation e.g.

G, C F.

Chords from the 3 diatonic scales  the numbers are the notes of the middle diatonic scale

G      7m      2M                      4#M

C           1M 2m 3m (3M7) 4m 5M 6m 

F                                               5m     7b M

Thus 6 chromatic chords

3M7,  5m, 7b M, 7m,  2M 4#M

2 ofthem are with roots outside the middle diatonic scale.

There are mainly 3 rules for the creation of melodic themes

1) Utlize 2 or 3 consecutive chords for none melodic theme

2) Make it connected by 2nds inside the main scale to give it naturality of singing

3) If one more of the 2 pr 3 chords are chromatic relative to the main scale make the melody pass from the external to the diatonic scale chromatic notes of the chords.

Basic Jazz Chord Progressions

·        Major ii-V-I  (2m-5M-1M) . The major ii-V-I is easily the most important chord progression to get a handle on when it comes to jazz. ...

·        Minor ii-V-i. This chord progression has the same function as the previous major ii-V-I, but of course is in a minor key. ... (In 6 Aeolian mode would give the chords 7m 3M 6m  and in the Ionian mode it would be 2m  5M  1m )

·        Major I-vi-ii-V. ...(1M-4m-2m-5M)

·        Minor i-vi-ii-V. (In 6 Aeolian mode would give the chords 6m 2m 7m 3M and in the Ionan mode it would be 1m 4m 2m 5M)

The next is an example of a chord progression for a song with full chromatic harmony based on 3 diatonic scales in harmonic relation e.g. G major C major F major

Here is an example of a paritioned chord progression with chords from 3 tonalities related harmonically (this is common inthe harmony of brazilian songs) e.g. C-F-G.

I have improvised at first these chords inthe ukulele,soI that i like them and make the necesary corections

The melodic phrase chords are 3 , and I write the chord progression so that each line is a traid of melodic phrase chords. 

For simplicity all chords have the same duration

1st verse minor feeling, the translation of t he melodic theme is upwards. It is inthe tonalitis C and  F (with harmonic minors)

Dm      E7      Am

Gm      A7      Dm

1st chorus resolution to a major triad, which is alower shift ofthe melodic theme

Bb       C7       F

Here the next verse moves to the tonality G

E7       Am        Am

B7       E7          Am

Again a chorus resolution to major triads of the toanlity G

C        B7         G

Am   D7          G

Chromatic shift to the 7nth degree of the toanlity G as a new verse

F#7    Bm     Bm

B7     Em      Em

And a resolution to tonal of G tonality

D7      G        G

Now we add the simplicial submelody notes of the melody , one note per chord

We try it in a convenient instrument . I did so in the ukulelel and also on the digital ukulele (Geoshred) in the tablet.  I try to whistle also  threr simplicial submelody

1st verse minor feeling, the translation of t he melodic theme is upwards. It is inthe tonalitis C and  F (with harmonic minors)

Dm  (f5)     E7  (g#4)     Am (c5)

Gm   (Bb5)   A7  (c#5)    Dm  (f5)

1st chorus resolution to a major triad, which is alower shift ofthe melodic theme

Bb  (d5)     C7   (e5)    F (a4)

Here the next verse moves to the tonality G

E7  (e5)     Am    (a5)    Am  (a4)

B7   (f#5)    E7    (g#5)      Am  (e6)

Again a chorus resolution to major triads of the toanlity G

C   (e5)     B7    (d#5)     G  (b4)

Am  (c5)    D7   (f#5)       G  (g5)

Chromatic shift to the 7nth degree of the toanlity G as a new verse

F#7   (F#5)  Bm   (b4)   Bm  (b4)

B7    (f#5) Em   (b5)     Em  (B5) 

And a resolution to tonal of G tonality

D7  (d5)    G (g4)       G (g4)

Finally we write all these in a midi editor and and we enhance the simplicial submelody to an actually rhythmic melody with transition notes also outside the chords. 

In this way it is as if we write a text first fromthe verbs then the subject  and obkect ofthe verb and then the relations of the phrases.
