As a composer/arranger across a wide spectrum of musical styles, from large jazz orchestras to smaller chamber ensembles and compositions for solo instruments, Franz Roehmann and Spectrum Music Services strive to meet the needs of all music performers.
Franz wrote these woodwind compositions in a pandiatonic style that is both lyrical and mildly dissonant.
The level of difficulty is suitable for the professional and college level musician.

Main Page Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 From: Mark Hodgson Subject: Re: Using Pandiatonic harmony for Modes.
The violin lends itself to this, of course, but it would take some time to perfect the fingering and ear to reproduce the pitches, and I think my ear would need some help to conjure up the melody and harmonies under a new pitch system.
I am curious about the subject of your posting - I've never actually heard of the term "Pandiatonic" before, and am only guessing that my experimentation would fall into the same, or a similar, category.

 Four hands, two pianos looking for a repertoire: The golden 20th Century
Even the unrelenting accompaniment of staccato sixteenth-notes in the first movement and the ostinato of the third movement (fourth variation) suggest progression, since they are combined with other rhythmic elements.
As for harmony, Stravinsky’s relatively neoclassical stability soon gives way to a pandiatonic idiom sometimes bordering on atonalism, as in the variations.
This sonata is a wonderful example of modern counterpoint and pandiatonics, a method already encountered in his concerto (see the figure in the fourth variation).

There are six dances, five fast and one slow, played without a break and with a 'symphonic' structure ; a set of variations built on a simple series of three bass notes.
They are cast within a single mode (as for the key of D major) and have pandiatonic 'white-note' harmony throughout.

It doesn't sound like it in the least, but at the time I was interested (subconsciously) in pandiatonicism.
Added to this pandiatonic (pseudo)idea, I stole/borrowed rhythms from some of my favorite Pat Metheny Group tunes.
I don't think it's obvious in the least bit, which is why I feel comfortable revealing that little secret.

It is the prime example of the populist style developed by the previously modernist composer in response to the Great Depression and World War II.
Though individual intervals may be intensely dissonant, the overall sound of the piece is pandiatonic -- encompassing all the tones of the diatonic scale in a pleasing homogeneity.
The orchestra was augmented substantially for the symphony, featuring 14 brass players, five percussionists, two harpists and two keyboard players, as well as an unusually large number of string players.

It also helps that the C is stressed as a sort of drone which makes it feel like the root tone.

In Take A Back Country Road I play seventh chords on the DX-7 periodically, while Brian Charles on oboe and I on the Casio sax meander to find landing points of disso/consonance with the resting points of keyboard chords.
I like this kind of microtonal chromaticism, beginning and ending in the pandiatonic realm, but wandering through various kinds of splits of halftones.
Timbral changes brought about by electronic processing contribute to the in-betweenness of some of the scalar movement and to slightly canted chords.

 Peter Hulen - Composition
Progression and voice leading in Impressionist music are modal; its elements and procedures provide an introduction to materials in their own right for students of tonal harmony.
Impressionist styles incorporate extended tertian and quartal harmony and provide a natural basis for introducing synthetic, secundal, pandiatonic, atonal and dodecaphonic styles and procedures.
In all these, application and control of dissonance are separate from the dominant-tonic axis.

The Busoni influence seems profound in the opening of the Opus Clavicembalisticum and I find that I want to hear more -- the whole thing, in fact.
In the Hothouse amounts to an early (1918) post-Impressionist essay but with a fascinating end combining augmented fourths with pandiatonic elements.
The 1920 toccata is a kind of moto perpetuo study with whole-tone aspects and fleeting bits of jazz that's almost Ivesian in ambiance.

Thus, the opening retrograde is the lullaby theme in reverse as it compels the listener to enter this realm of mystical existence.
The music in this movement is pandiatonic due to the use of mirror technique restricted solely to the white keys of the piano.

 A Theory on Open Modality
In actual practice, there are many ways this is played out by composers.
Some pandiatonic music is polyharmonic, some is pretty close to diatonic but isn't, and some is really no-pitch-center white-note music.
I suppose you could say that "diatonic" and "modal" music are `subsets' of pandiatonicism, i.e., more specialized versions of the larger pandiatonic universe." -Rick StClair From: Newsgroups.

I know the term pandiatonic, but that is different from what you seem to imply, which is seemingly what is called playing 'outside' the changes.
I guess this long harangue is an attempt to discover where and what, your blockage or 'rut' seems to be, and an attempt however feeble, to suggest ways around it, or out of it.
I know these are very old threads, but lately I've been creating "melodic lines" over standard changes or modal, with Pandiatonic Progression.

Chords, not keys, are the building blocks of much of rock harmony.
Although pandiatonic seems restricted to root progression based on the diatonic scale.
In rock, chords are generally diatonic but their root progressions are chromatic.

You might think, America being such a big place and there being such a diverse range of musical styles operative there, that you'd get a wildly eclectic collection.
But all the composers included, with one exception, represent the same sort of aesthetic; a sort of pandiatonic approach that is mostly introspective.
The exception, of course, is wild man William Bolcom, who really is eclectic, and his piece shines by comparison--in this one piece there's more variety than in the rest of the CD.

You can have so much art that no one really listens to it.
I had a composition teacher who had me write all these pandiatonic, atonal, weird string concertos, with seven saxophones in the background -- all this weird, weird mess.
And I wrote it, and I abided by all the rules of 20th Century music, and it was really "out there." But in the end, he criticized me for wanting to write pop music, because he didn't think it was art.

I have little idea what pandiatonic means, but from this and other similar posts, I am becoming aware that I will need a new approach to the OM, different than I use on mandolin, anyway.
It's also one of the reasons why, more often than not, two accompanists playing simultaneously at an Irish session will clash a bit - it can get pretty pandemonic rather than pandiatonic.

11:42 AM With all my railing against pandiatonicism -- I'm even one of the first pages to come up on Google when you search for it -- I thought I ought to mention a pandiatonic piece that I actually like, namely Sones de Flor by Peter Garland from the Walk in Beauty CD.
Listening to it now, perhaps I'm not as struck as I expected to be, but I still enjoy the way the piece feels in some sense "wide open".
