Basse fondamentale ( Primarily, a bass note indicated a major triad of which that note was the "root". Those "Alberti" notes are not to be regarded as bass notes (comparable to those of the baroque Generalbass music) but as arpeggized chords that in turn represent virtual bass notes. He regarded the basse fondamentale as an "implied" or "inferred" auditory feature of sound which nevertheless has psychological reality and is of crucial significance in tonal music. www.mmk.ei.tum.de /persons/ter/top/basse.html   (860 words)

CONK! Encyclopedia: Dominant_chord   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) For example, in the C major scale (white keys on a piano), the dominant is the note G; and the dominant chord uses the notes G, B, and D. In music theory, the dominant chord in its root position is symbolized with the Roman numeral V if major and v if minor. As defined by Joseph Fétis the dominante was a seventh chord over the first note of a descending perfect fifth in the basse fondamentale or root progression, the common practice period dominant seventh he named the dominante tonique. If the roots are in the bass and the tonic is in the highest voice, it is a perfect authentic cadence. www.conk.com /search/encyclopedia.cgi?q=Dominant_chord   (233 words)

Encyclopedia: Chord (music) Chords are also distinguished and notated by the scale degree, pitch, or note of their root and bass, although there are many different conventions for indicating the quality of the chord, and the inversion of the chord (determined by which note of the chord serves as the bass note); see Inverted Triads below). Figured bass, or thoroughbass, is a kind of integer musical notation used to indicate intervals, chords, and nonchord tones, in relation to a bass note. The listener is not aware, that without the chords (along with the bass guitarist and the drums and percussion), there would be no melody, since the melody uses the chords as a backbone around which to structure itself. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Chord-%28music%29   (4431 words)

AMARCORDES - Rameau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) Towards this end, Rameau conceived of the basse fondamentale, which is perhaps less properly to be seen as an original invention than as a unification of received practical and speculative traditions in music theory. The ‘irregular’ cadence (cadence irrégulière) inverts the motion of the perfect cadence by ascending a perfect 5th in the fundamental bass from the fourth degree to the tonic, while a ‘broken’ cadence (cadence rompue) thwarts the expected resolution of the dominant 7th chord with a deceptive cadence on the sixth degree. While the bass note would be understood as the chord’s fundamental sound when it resolved to the tonic as an imperfect cadence, the added 6th could also be inferred as a fundamental (on the second degree) if the chord moved to the dominant. www.amarcordes.ch /compositeurs/rameau_grove.htm   (16070 words)

Root (chord)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) In music the root (basse fondamentale) of a chord is the note or pitch upon which that chord is perceived or labelled as being built or hierarchically centered upon. This feeling of centeredness is readily aurally perceivable for the culturally trained (those who grew up with European music) and its verbal labelling is a basic skill for the musically trained. When the root is the bass note, or bottom, of the chord the chord is said to be in root position. nba.servegame.org /en/Basse_fondamentale.htm   (202 words)

Encyclopedia: Bass note While the bass is often the root, the root, or basse fondamentale, is often not the bass note. In pre-tonal theory, root notes were not considered and thus the bass was the most defining note of a sonority. Tonality is the character of music written with hierarchical relationships of pitches, rhythms, and chords to a center or tonic. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Bass-note   (186 words)

artangles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) In this example the root is the same whether we define it as the bass of the "root state" (ordering the notes in thirds), or as the representative of the function of the chord. But the bass of a chord ordered in thirds is not always the same as the root defined representative of the function of the chord. Rameau says of "basse fondamentale" that "each sound of this fundamental bass represents a generator and is recognised at the same time as the immediate cause of all the musical effects" (chaucun des sons de cette basse (fondamentale) représentant un générateur, se fait reconnoitre en même-temps pour la cause immédiate de tous les effets musicaux). www.webcom.com /musics/artangles.htm   (7383 words)

[No title] From considerations of what he calls the *resonance* (the production of harmonic partials), he deduces not only that progressions by a second must be forbidden (except in special cases), but also that progressions down a fifth or a third are better than those up the same intervals. The bass roots are arranged on horizontal lines following the cycle of fiths, and connected either by thick lines (main progressions) or by dotted lines (substituted progressions, with a vertical dotted line linking the implied root to the real one). The fundamental bass is written on an additional staff--which in this case allows one to verify that it is almost identical with the real bass or, in other words, that most of the chords are in root position; this fact can be seen as a justification of a procedure which, otherwise, might seem anachronic. music-theory.org /mto/issues/mto.00.6.1/mto.00.6.1.meeus.art   (2270 words)

MTO 7.5: Dissertation Listings ABSTRACT: The fundamental bass or abstacted mental representation from the lowest note of a triad in the root position is represented by the fundamental note. The fundamental bass is not a theoretical invention but a way of thinking which was elaborated collectively and takes its source in the double melodic and harmonic reality of the interval. The most progress of the fundamental basses can be reduced in the Well-tempered Clavier in primary extensions of the cadence, completed with the addition of fifths over the dominante tonique, and in secondary extensions. www.societymusictheory.org /mto/issues/mto.01.7.5/dis.7.5.html   (2800 words)

Huron's Review of R. Parncutt's "Harmony: A Psychoacoustical Approach" The premise is that both tones and chords are species of vertical sonorities or simultaneities, and that the perceptual difference between tones and chords is a matter of degree rather than kind. Rameau in essence employed this premise in relating the root of a chord (basse fondamentale) to the fundamental frequency of a harmonic series. This conditioning is offered as an explanation for the predominance of lower bass notes falling on the beat (as in a `stride bass' accompaniment). music-cog.ohio-state.edu /Huron/Publications/huron.Parncutt.review.html   (2069 words)

Playing Bach's Secco Recitatives Properly One example where the bass note is held for its full value and it forms the lower part of a double stop while another finger intones the remaining parts of the chord in sequence. The musicians translated the long bass notes in their minds to the shortened notes, because ‘this was part of the general custom.’ Being a doubting Thomas and having found a long list of primary sources, none of which, to my knowledge, have mentioned anything closely related to this point, I remain entirely skeptical. One is from the autograph score and shows a bass note in the continuo held out with tied whole notes and a quarter note for a total of 9 beats. www.bach-cantatas.com /Articles/Recitatives-Braatz.htm   (4079 words)

Lorsque la Basse monte de Tierce après l'Accord de la Septiéme, la Notte montée porte ordinairement un Accord dérivé du précédent, comme cela paroît à (C) où l'Accord de la fausse-Quinte n'est autre que celui de la Septiéme qui a précédé. Dans les Basses figurées l'on fait souvent passer plusieurs Nottes dans un tems; mais c'est sur la premiere de chaque tems que l'Accord doit se faire; et la main droite qui frappe un Accord à chaque tems, bat pour ainsi dire la mesure. music100.music.indiana.edu /tfm/18th/RAMTRA4_TEXT.html   (7505 words)

Examen de deux principes avances par M. Rameau Quoique la basse détermine quelquefois avec plus de promptitude et d'énergie les changements de ton, ces changements ne laisseraient pourtant pas de se faire sans elle, et je n'ai jamais prétendu que l'accompagnement fut inutile à la mélodie, mais seulement qu'il lui devait être subordonné. Mais si les voix sont remisses et basses, il peut affecter l'âme sans le secours de l'harmonie ; car une voix remisse et lente est une expression naturelle de tristesse ; un choeur à l'unisson pourrait faire le même effet. Il y a pis encore, c'est qu'aucun de ces deux sons fondamentaux n'étant le vrai fondement de l'accord et du mode, il nous faut une troisième basse la qui donne ce fondement. www.osk.3web.ne.jp /%7Enityshr/ecrits/examen.htm   (4678 words)

MTSE 1998 Abstracts If past and present students of Jean Philippe Rameau's fundamental bass theory could make one request of the great master, they would likely agree on one particular wish to be granted: provision of a practical guide to composition using fundamental bass principles. Though none of Rameau's theoretical publications was devoted exclusively to composition, one particular manuscript source of Rameau's was: "L'art de la basse fondamentale" (MS2474, Institut de France). "L'Art de la basse fondamentale" is believed to be the textbook draft for a six-month composition course that Rameau taught between 1739-1744. music.uncg.edu /mtse/html/abst98.html   (2238 words)

Schiller Institute—Bach and Kepler: The Polyphonic Character Of Truthful Thinkng By such rearrangements, we get a whole series of chords, known as inversions, which are all derived from the same bass tone, or "basse fondamentale," and which Rameau regards as essentially equivalent. This sort of transformation of intervals, known as inversion, was of course known long before Rameau, as a principle of development in vocal-based counterpoint. First, you invent a fundamental bass, according to your own good or bad taste. www.schillerinstitute.org /fid_97-01/002-3_bach_kep.html   (4863 words)
