	Glossary of Musical Terms
		- a chord altered by raising one of the tones by a half-step (2-40).
		For example, a G chord lowered by a half-step would be G diminished, or G dim.
		Inversions are named based on where the root note is placed; a chord's first inversion puts the root note at the top of the chord, its second inversion places the root in the middle, and so on (1-29).

	Chords
		Barre chords are a type of guitar chord where one or more fingers are used to fret (press down) several or all of the strings across the guitar fingerboard in order to play a chord not restricted by the tones of the guitar's open strings.
		The term chromatic chords is used to broadly describe chords used to harmonise a piece of music that are not drawn from the true notes of the scale of the key of the piece but are based on chromatically altered notes of the scale.
		In tonal harmony, the function of a Neapolitan chord is to prepare the dominant, substituting for the IV or ii chord.

	Jazz Orchestra & Big Band Arranging: Block Voicing
		Block voicing is where the inside or harmony parts always move in the same direction as the lead.
		As the melody of the Bb chord on beat one of bar 2 is the root, it has to be Bb6 not a Bbma7 to avoid a semitone interval at the top of the chord.
		The harmonic impact of the passing chords become less important at faster tempos, but the need to minimise repeated notes in inside parts where the lead is moving becomes greater and it is usually possible to create movement in all voices.

		The rule is the same for the different chords, move the 2nd note from the top an octave down.
		Notice that sometimes the eighth note on the off beat are part of the block chord.
		The next step is to add a note to the block chord and then drop the 2nd note and the 4th note.

		Chord is designed to provide ease for the additions and withdrawals of nodes, and the core concept for achieving this is to find the new predecessor and successor nodes on the identifier circle after addition/withdrawal of nodes in the network.
		Chord acts as a library with two main functions accessible by DHash: a lookup-key function which returns the IP address of the node responsible for the given key, and a notify function to tell applications of changes in keys.
		Chord organizes nodes as a logical ring, according to the node identifiers derived from a hash function and the maintenance of successor indices.

		For each chord that is written in standard notation (musical notes), another is included with the same chord in block (graphic) form.
		The deck should include all the chords neccessary to allow players to create standard progressions, and/or complete chromatic movements if the intent is to learn styles that rely on chromatic movement (like jazz).

		substituting one chord, or a series of chords, for harmonies in a harmonic progression.
		Such chords are frequently used by jazz musicians to add tension and sophistication to harmony.
		Another famous example is John Coltrane's harmonic improvisation on the chord changes to his tune, "Giant Steps." Coltrane's melodic line effortlessly adjusts to find notes that are consonant with the chords in the rapidly moving harmonic progression: Audio

	Piano Technique & Kinesthetic Imagery
		This multi-leveled perception is a safety net. Players who know the chords as independent kinesthetic events have added capacity to recover from a slip, whereas players who depend solely on the stimulus-response chain can lose their way if a single chord goes awry—just as a "wired-in-series" light string goes out if any bulb malfunctions.
		In complicated passages, it is wise to heighten each chord's cognitive independence. Practice the chord series in ways that disrupt the stimulus-response chain: Play only the odd (or even) numbered chords; play the series backward; play the chords in random order.
		When a note block's keys are to be played successively—not simultaneously, as above—its kinesthetic image is more sophisticated. Added to the feel of the note block is: (1) the feel of the order in which the fingers depress the keys and (2) the feel of the mechanical action by which they depress them.

		Sixth chords are symbolized by a 6 next to the major or minor chord symbol.
		An altered chord is formed by flatting the fifth of the major triad or dominant seventh chord.
		When a block chord is used in a selection with another accompaniment pattern, a vertical line to the left of the chord symbol identifies a chord to be played as a block chord: C, A, Em, etc.

		With chord diagram 3 of the first line, there is a "1" to the right of the chord diagram, which means that you strike the entire chord again.
		With chord diagram 4 (of the first line) you will notice that your third finger is doing a "hinge-bar" on the first 3 strings at the 12th fret.
		With chord diagram 2 of the second line, the "dot" to the right of the chord means to play the highest note or in this case, the first string, again.

		In the first chord diagram of line 2, your left hand thumb is actually going to fret the 6th string at the 1st fret.
		In the 2nd chord diagram of the 4th line, the dot after the chord diagram means that you would play the highest note of the chord (which is the 2nd string) again.
		The double dots after the 2nd chord diagram of the 6th line mean that you would repeat from the double dots at the beginning of the piece and this time play to the very end.

	Creating KORG i-series styles with KIT application (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Let me clarify right from the start that a style you are creating does not have to have chord variations which use all 8 permitted tracks, nor does it have to have all the possible chord variations which are available for a certain style element.
		The chord (key) in which the chord variation was written is called the original chord and must be specified by means of the "CV: OriginalKeyChord" text event, written in the first tick of the first measure of the chord variation.
		This means that either the header block of the file or the setup measure of the first style element determine the program for each channel.

		A Chord Block is nothing more than a way of dealing with groups of Chord Containers — for example, identifying them for reharmonization or performing standard cut, copy, and paste functions.
		A Chord Block usually corresponds to a complete musical phrase or subphrase, typically from four to eight bars.
		The first 13 suggestions were variations of the first chord with the rest of the phrase harmonized simply as I — ii — V — I — ii — V — I. The next 135 patterns varied the first two chords while keeping the remaining six bars constant.

	Conducting Music, Part 2
		What we hear depends on several factors: the overall pace of the activity, the number of parts, their contoural and rhythmic independence, their spatial and timbrel proximity, and the number of pitch classes presented per unit of time.
		As complexity increases, there is a decline in our ability to hear music as a series of discrete chords. Vertical pitch relationships recede into the background; horizontal pitch relationships move into the foreground.
		To deal with vertically conceived passages, you need a clear image of each separate chord and an understanding of the role each instrument plays in it.

	Block Chord Technique
		This is a big-sounding technique that is achieved by playing octaves in the right hand filled in with an open 5th (or 4th), while the left hand plays a 4 or 5 note chord at exactly the same time.
		The right hand plays the melody in the first or second octave above middle C, with a harmonizing 5th or 4th between the two octave notes.
		Meanwhile, the left hand plays a multi-noted chord which includes one or more color tones along with the other chord notes, and the hands play simultaneously.

		It might be a chord or chord quality I'd never used, a wierd scale, an odd meter, nonstandard structure, a strange sound, etc. I avoided diatonic harmony like the plague; I don't think there was a V-I in any of the songs I wrote for several years.
		I think every single 4 chord chorus progression has already been used in some type of music, so it is time to progress to new ways of playing progressions.
		Another one to try is keeping a simple chord progression but concentrating on the higher notes of the chords.

		In Example 1, we have a chord progression over which your left hand plays block chords while your right hand plays a melody using descending arpeggios.
		Also notice that since the arpeggiated chords contain only three notes each, you get a natural rhythmic emphasis every time you play the top note of each arpeggio.
		Since we’ve been working strictly with three-note chords so far, I’ve illustrated a few of the four-note chords in block form in Example 3, for both hands.
