LJS Assignment 2

Assignment3

Melody and one chorus of Memories of Tomorrow showing use of scales and guide tones in a semi improvisational  setting. Its a very interesting composed song that is very tightly composed and thus difficult to use for improvisation and one chorus just doesn't allow for use of all techniques in the 24 bar setting. I think I managed to get at least examples of all the rubric elements present. 

Assignment 4 take 1 Memories of Tomorrow

Pandiatonic on the white notes playing over the A sections of an ABA structure (three groups of 8 measures with the same pandiatonic application on the first and last groubs. and the B section split with pandiatonic of C over the common scale sections in the first 4 of the B section and the pandiatonic base of Ab (f minor) with adjustments for the Harmonic scale in the end of the section. 

Assgn 4 MoT "on the white notes" see description and analysis.

A simple motif known to everyone. Just thought it would be a good one that was easy to follow and illustrate the development of a single motif (sometimes called a theme) through the stipulated bullets. I used some fragmentation and development of fragments as well and I hope you enjoy it and can see the bullets outlined in preparing the lesson.
