五个简单和声的招数,帮你写出动听的音乐。
1 / Inversions 转位
Still stuck in root position? The easiest and quickest way to break out of boring chord progressions is to use inversions. For
example, in a chord of c major, try the e or G in the bass rather than the normal c.
你的低音还停留在根音位置(原位)吗?打破枯燥的和弦进行最简单,最快捷的方法是使用转位。例如,在Cmajor和弦,低音尝试使用E或G,而不是通常的C。这样你可以得到一条不一样的低音线条。
2 / Bi-Chords 和弦叠加
Sticking two chords together one on top of the other. Play a chord of c major with the left hand and a chord of d maj with the right. Throw them together however you like and hear the weird and wonderful chromatic effects you can create.
把两个和弦中一个放在另一个的上方。例如左手弹奏Cmajor 和弦的同时,右手弹奏Dmaj。只要你喜欢,就可以创建怪异和奇妙的色彩效果。其实就是高叠和弦,上例的实际效果是1-3-5-7-2-4-6,C13和弦。
3 / Progressions By 3rds 三度进行
A very filmy thing to do is the move by 3rds. So from a chord of c, move to a chord of eb or c to Ab, d to F.
Mix that up with normal diatonic chord movements i – iv-v (c – F – G) and you’re in business.
一个很朦胧的事情,“三度进行”。如从C和弦,向上移动到Eb和弦或向下移动到Ab,D到F等。把它带入到自然音阶的和弦运动 I - IV-V(C - F - G)中,听听效果。
4 / Devil In Music 音乐的“魔鬼”
That’s what they used to call the augmented 4th – that means the interval between c and F sharp for example, or Ab and d. That might have put the willies up medieval clerics, but it has done wonders for danny elfman. That umpah bass line in the Simpsons and lots of his other scores of that era, uses the Aug 4th all the time. chord progressions of d to Ab are also useful, particularly in comedy.
这种状态习惯上称作增4度 - 即C与F#之间的音程,同样 Ab 与D之间的音程也是增4度。这样的音程被称为“魔鬼”,可能已经让中世纪的教士心惊肉跳起来,但Danny Elfman已经这样做了。这样的Bass Line在他的“Simpsons”和许多其他那个时代的乐谱中,有许多采用增4度的例子。D和弦进行到Ab也很有用,特别是在喜剧中。
5 / Pedals 踏板
Play c with your left hand and now start putting all kinds of other chords in the right. c bass with a d maj, c bass with a Bb. keeping a low constant note going under a chord progression is called a pedal in harmony and it works great.
Give it a go.
左手弹奏C,右手弹奏其他和弦。低音C配 Dmaj,低音C配Bb。和声进行中保持一个恒定的低音音符直到下一个和弦称为“Pedal in Harmony”,就像低音使用了踏板(延音)的效果。试试看。
These are all quick and dirty fixes that shows you the real potential of harmony to change your music. Harmony is an essential part of your personality as a composer. This is the musical equivalent of Star Trek, to boldly go etc. The more you learn about this the more options there are open to you.
这些都是快速的修改,体现你的和声能力,也会改变你的音乐。和声是你的音乐个性中的重要组成部分。就像“Star Trek”中的音乐一样,大胆地去改变。对于这些你了解的越多,更多的选择越会向你敞开。
以上“招数”,在认真看完任意一本和声教程,你都可以学会!
