What to Do With the Rule of the Octave - Music Composition

This music composition lesson follows on from an earlier video about the rule of the octave and you may well want to watch our other video first. In this lesson we examine the linear implications for part writing using the chord scheme presented by the rule of the octave, with one voice centred around the tonic, another centred around the third, and yet another centred around the fifth. The video covers the logic behind the choice of melodic notes then goes on to show how the parts are combined in the first, second and third positions. Ascending and descending patterns are covered, along with examples in both major and minor keys. This video offers insight into harmonic thinking that will illuminate Baroque style and the writing of harmony more broadly. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tNKI... 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this:    / @musicmattersgb   🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro:    / @musicmattersgb   👕 Merch store:    / @musicmattersgb   🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to what to do with the rule of the octave 0:40 - Centre on the tonic 6:18 - Centre on the third 8:52 - Centre on the fifth 10:30 - Putting parts together 11:40 - Upper parts in first position 11:51 - Upper parts in second position 11:59 - Upper parts in third position 12:06 - Importance of linear direction but with harmonic thinking 13:04 - Descending 13:45 - Centre on the tonic 14:56 - Centre on the third 16:08 - Centre on the fifth 17:33 - Putting parts together 17:51 - Upper parts in first position 18:01 - Upper parts in second position 18:10 - Upper parts in third position 18:19 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
