How Music Works 3 - Harmony - Part 4

[bayreuth79]

The reason why we haven't got used to certain dissonaces is because P Boulez's music is not music. "Music" without a harmonic context is just noise.

[aakkoin]

3:45 i don't adore that feel... then again, i adore captain beefheart...

[wld0]

"Unless you're some kind of rebel" lol

[bookheaven1000]

KEN LEEEEEEEEEE. TULIBODIBODOUCHOOOOOOO.

[Kevexation]

YAY!. The missing part 4. Thanks for that.



[adamjenson4500]

isn't he referring to apoggiaturas rather than suspensions?

[STRAVOLTY]

@adamjenson4500 Sorry brotha but an appoggiatura is accented and approached by leap resolved by step in the opposite direction.

[adamjenson4500]

@STRAVOLTY it doesn't have to be accented nor approached by leap and a suspension is where a note is tied over to a new harmony and then resolved and that is not what is said in this video

[STRAVOLTY]

@adamjenson4500 Im not trying to be a troll but I was always told that an apoggiatura was accented and approached by leap. In retrospect if you give suspension that kind of loose definition really you could put neighbor tones and passing tones as types of suspensions. Really i suppose both definitions work but whatever the point gets across either way

[STRAVOLTY]

@adamjenson4500 sorry for the double post

[jlaci]

what happened to part 3??

[Kevexation]

@jlaci yes, what happened. Trying to get it on truththeory site as well. Again no luck it just jumps to part 4, shame.

SPOILER ALERT: Tristan and Isolde die at the end of the famous play??? What an asshole, he could have warned us first.

[vigiyoung]

eh.. sony jump off a cliff

[vigiyoung]

What the fu ck is wrong with SONY? and all this copyright SHIET? They'd rather uphold some stupid copyright law than let us fuc king learn? I have searched everywhere for EPISODE3 part 3 Harmony and it's one of the most important sections of the episode. I'm starting to resent music because of that shit and this comes along to revive and this Sony sticks their fucking nose in? For fuck's sake SONY. Go focus on playstation 4 assholes.

[wezos]

FU Sony!

I want part 3 mofos!!

this is free education.. not lucrative stuff with ur fcking copyrights!

[chrisptik]

I HATE SONY. Thumbs if you agree for them banning part 4.

[ShittiestChannelOnYT]

Wow.. are you serious? Part 3 has been blocked in my country due to copyright grounds.. yes I'm SURE Channel 4 or whoever made this documentary used that music without permission.. thanks Sony.

[anore]

@anore seems my comment is being removed... well;

search: "How_music_works_3_Harmony.avi­­" This is the whole episode, and you will find part 3 for those of you who are blocked.

[ibanezxiphos700]

@anore

we want part 4 not part 3 

[BabyBoiQue]

@anore looks like those rat bastards got to that video to. its no longer working

[1one1republic]

using musical suspension to depict sexual frustration, how come i never thought of that?

[KILLAKUSH93]

this film has straightened out my view on music. this film has changed my world lol

[admentlore]

For some reason I can't stop listening to the unsuspended version of the song at 5:05. It sounds nostalgic. prob cause I'm so use to the supsensions.

[8942712]

Howard Goodall  is a talented guy, funny too

[idmangqn]

Wow, this documentary just hit my spot so well! Epic music + epic analysis = the best documentary of all time!!!!!

[gokebe]

5 star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[NoodlePowa]

suspension is delicious indeed

[AlexChiusday]

No you are delicious.

[antoniomal]

This surely has to be the father of jazz music and fusion.

[glennw1002]

NAUGHTY NOTES

[martinbizarro]

Oh, not Mariah bloody Carey's version! She should suspend all her notes in perpetuity.

[FretboardToAsh]

I like these series a lot but all the coldplay is getting the on my stomach.

[poutybean]

I love them.. Seems like Howard does too!

[AnasTangi]

@FretboardToAsh and Maria too

[BearWindAppleyard]

6:06 sounds briliantly sad

[Pahis1]

The Beatles were the master of suspension. I think

[IpkisStanley]

why does this comment get thumbed down? they were masters of suspension! Not "the master" obviously though!

[Pahis1]

Yup. Sorry for the definite article. I'm sure there are more of a masters of suspension than Beatles, but that was what came to my mind after every example.

[PeterInglisGuitar]

The dissonance in Boulez "Sonata No.1 for piano" is obvious and grating. Church composers used "passing notes" to introduce dissonance into conventional harmony (Bach: "Kyrie, Gott Vater In Ewigkeit"). Melodic suspension in Mariah Carey's "Without You" and Antonio Lotti's "Crucifixus", which uses 49 suspensions in just 41 bars!

[PeterInglisGuitar]

Wagner in his 1865 opera "Tristan and Isolde" raised hackles with a deliberately unresolved set of suspensions which portray sexual frustration. The band Coldplay use the same device in the song "Politik".
