How Music Works 1 - Melody - Part 2

[DrTorture28]

"The answer is: Yes, you would!"

Made me laugh for some reason.

[TheGrotesqueReality]

4:08-4:20 sounds exactly like the way I play the piano!

[Eschatosguitarist]

7:00 in latin, LIKE A BOSS

[painxtreme]

@Eschatosguitarist He may have learned it in Catechism. Each Sunday began: Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum...etc. (Obviously the start of the Lord's Prayer). It gave me a real hunger in learning Latin, which is taking most of my life, being self taught, along with some tutelage. Since I had to stop working, Ive given more to it. Useless pursuit of a dead language? Maybe it helps to keep an endangered language species alive? I dunno, but I like it. :)

[aakkoin]

i want that guy to review some hiphop song

"Here you can here an expample from 2010"

"BOOTY IN DA CLUB GIRL GET DAT ASS BABY YEA"

[adrianfarraday]

[BggProductions]

[SicreeDeviantArt]

:33 sounded like a combination between Fergie.. and Jesus

[lawrencewraith8]

i love this guy

[pantsuck10]

the Bulgaria singer is ugly 

[spinal2650]

@pantsuck10 she is mad fuck ugly bro

[gwaur]

I want a record of Goodall singing and playing on the piano all kinds of music in different modes! He makes them sound so solemn and epic.

[wtdakata]

The song at 1:45 was it sang by a Bulgarian or she was from a different country. I am Bulgarian and i can't tell.

[Sivaks9]

I thought that the 2nd 3rd etc... are notes of the major scale. Is he getting this wrong?

[shymanskij]

its only on youtube that the video just wont start!!!!!!!!!

[shymanskij]

Wierd hair cut

[MatheusDinizsr]

Hail the virginal.

[vas1275]

I was searching for answers concerning music analysis

Why certain types of melodies work and provoke specific emotions in all humans etc

Thanks I found out about a lot of things today.

My music teacher could not explain me half as much.

[luckystrke]

I wanna smack the bitch on 2:04

[MrGuitarZeppelin]

@luckystrke Amen

[FreeGuitarLicks]

@luckystrke And yet she is infinitely more skilled than you are.

[ForTheFallen2000]

6:54 Here it is in Action, damn this guy is a good teacher.

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

semitones. like A to A# sound pretty awkward. unless you play it pretty quick. of course it all means what kind of music and how you're playing it.

[stockcar5472]

What is the music at 5:14?

[chrisptik]

this guy is great.

[HaumesserFilms]

Wow! I agree with DEVIMON111213. It's like having Juliard on my computer. Thank you very much for posting these awesome videos!

[JonBrooksComposer]

Synth at the beginning sounds nasty! lol Interesting video though. :-)

How Music Works 1

[ctimur]

He says "sad but lovely" for Aeolian mode. It reminded me of something which made me really surprised when I'd heard first: in archaic greece and a little after, phrygian mode (we call kurdi in turkish music) was something to cheer up the audience.Well, I think it sounds sadder than aeolian.

[waynewallace08]

love the piano at 9:05.

[DaveHealey1]

Harpsichord...

[guscaldas2]

Theory in music is hindsight. It is deduced from the natural, spontaneous phenomenon. When men discover the formula for making great and powerful melodies, we will no longer need inspiration. Of course I don't think this will ever happen. Nobody can explain what makes a great melody, no matter how deep we get into musical analysis.

[SirSampsonSimpson]

wise words

[CompleteAbstractionZ]

@guscaldas2. That's a very good point.

[gbraae]

That simple rendition of Veni Veni Emmanuel made me cry. Just like that. Was in utter shock and had to rewind to find out what had just knocked me for six then. Beautiful tune!!!!

[irulehyrule2]

8:29 - This sounds like the melody used in Elliott Smith's song "Everything Means Nothing to Me". Weird!

[DEVIMON111213]

wow i feel like having juliard in my pc.. thanks greatly....

[wilkyx]

variable rung mad...i know the feeling...

[ruukaoz]

I love the latin tune with the good ol' bri'ish acctent :)

[Xondar11223344]

A harpsichord? Neat!

[lautour]

what he's playing from 2:44 to 2:59 sounds really nice

[jazzguy618]

He's just demonstrating intervals that become popular in the middle ages.

[fromwkfsmouth]

I agree - he used to be a percussionist in the youth orchestra, and also a clarinetist! (Gosh, I want to see him play the clarinet!!!)

[monsieurtechnical]

A glockenspiel.

[reigatespongebob]

we watched this in class today

[jarkkkoo]

thank you

[eerieyellowlights]

LOL, "they went variable rung MAD"

[brainac0cult]

that man is a great musician!

[whizkidforte]

I agree! I love his singing too!!! =D

[PeterInglisGuitar]

... also, the concept of storytelling in music is introduced.

[PeterInglisGuitar]

Melodic Intervals and their origins in Western music are explained - Semitones, tones, Christian Plainsong, Bulgarian folksong, particularly the emphasis on the whole tone. Touches on the introduction of melodic thirds, fourths, fifths and sixths.

As usual, the music examples are beautifully presented.
