 Voice leading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, voice leading is the continuity between pitches or notes played
voice " rises from E to F while the top "voice" rises from G to A, this being a way to "lead" those voices.
Instead of thinking of the two successive chords vertically as separate, we are concentrating on the "horizontal" (temporal or linear) continuity between notes.

 CUTTING EDGE TO LEADING EDGE: Voice Technology Emerges
Early buyers of voice were industry leaders who either were willing to take the initial risk of a new technology or could put enough weight and resources behind their choice to be fairly confident in attaining the results they sought.
Voice, as the term is used here, comprises software applications in which a human operator (the user) interacts with some version of an automated aural communication system.
Voice technology is not new, but distribution centers have been slow to adopt it.

 Voice Leading
Direct octaves may be permitted in the outer voices if the soprano moves by step and the progression is IV-I or V-I. Direct fifths may be permitted in the outer voices if the soprano moves by step.
The leading tone is never doubled, because this leads to parallel octaves, an undesirable effect (compare with the discussion on scales and tendency tones).
Each part is referred to by the voice name:

 Tom Pankhurst's TonalityGUIDE (pilot project): Template
Leading notes have a tendency to resolve upwards by step and in some styles there are quite strict rules governing, for example, diminished seventh chords.
The tension of the suspended c2 is the result of delaying the alto voice in a chord progession from I to V.
In the example below, the c2 in the alto voice is prepared in the first chord, suspended in the second and resolved to b1 (downwards by step).

 Music 15100, Harmony and Voice-Leading
We shall eventually learn the syntactic contexts for each of these chords, as well as the proper voice leading associated with them, but for now the taxonomy of these critters should be enough to keep us busy.
The text for the course is the third edition of Harmony and Voice Leading by Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter, and Volume I of the Workbook for the text.
I also stressed the importance of keeping in mind the profoundly vocal character of this counterpoint: to understand the exercises one must really sing through them (playing one voice on the piano, for instance), play them on the piano or guitar, and otherwise cultivate one's aural imagination for what they sound like.

 ChopsFactory-Voice Leading
When notes in one chord move to notes in the next chord in a progression in a musical and logical way, it is known as voice leading.
To voice lead effectively, you need to be able to play chords in the same area of the neck, without having to jump from the third fret to the tenth and back, for instance.
Many voicings will not (and shouldn't) have the root contained in them, and when they do, not in the extreme lower register.

 Voice Leading
The upper voice of the left-hand pattern is a good example of step-wise voice leading providing the harmonic momentum within the same chord--as the 5th (G) moves through the 6th (A) up to the 7th(Bb) and back down again of the C7 chord.
Voice leading in this context relies on the frequent stepwise motion of the stacked chords.
Although the linear aspects of the progression become less apparent, the concept of watching and listening for the direction of individual voices in a chord progression is important in all musicmaking!

 VOICE-LEADING SPACE
This paper studies networks of pitch-classes that model voice leading-the progression of pitches to form horizontal "voices" or "lines." While tonal voice leading depends on distinctions between step and leap, consonance and dissonance, chord-tone and embellishment, voice leading in post-tonal music simply and non-normatively describes the motions of pitches, one to another.
After studying various transformations of the tonnetz, voice leading is implemented by the use of another type of compositional space, two-partition graphs.
The result is a collection of voice - leading spaces, a new category of compositional space.

 Tone and Voice: A Derivation of the Rules of Voice-leading from Perceptual Principles
Over the centuries, a number of theorists have explicitly suggested that voice-leading is the art of creating independent parts or voices.
Huron (1989b) found that as the number of concurrent voices in a polyphonic texture increases, expert listeners are both slower to recognize the addition of new voices, and more prone to underestimate the number of voices present.
The question of whether the ear has adapted to the voice or the voice has adapted to the ear is difficult to answer.

Therefore, it is important to get your ears accustomed to hearing how tension and release is created through voice leading, so that it will come automatically to you on the bandstand.
Here is an example of how voice leading techniques are used in a complete improvisation on a chord progression.
Therefore, while this section discusses some common guidelines for voice leading, do not get locked into treating them as rules that must be followed.

 Voice-leading for Roots a P4 Apart
Have them copy the C in the upper voices into the C in the second chord (if the C is in the alto in the first chord, it should be repeated in the second chord).
The remaining upper voice will move by step to complete the spelling of the chord with the root doubled (in our example the remaining voice will move by step from a G in the first chord to an F in the second chord).
When this voice leaps, it is important to make sure that it does not "leap" out of its range.

The voice leading underlying these patterns resembles the note-against-note relationship found in the first species of counterpoint.
This paper offers a modification of the network representation in which the structural voice leading of the passage plays a prominent role.
Frequently, the intervallic relationship between the outer voices produces voice-leading paradigms--contrapuntal/harmonic formulae that consistently support recurring patterns.

In Example 11, which is adaptedted from Harmony and Voice Leading by Aldwell and Schachter, the altered voice leading in 11a for instance, results in parallel octaves and an augmented second.

 Voice Leading - Basic Concepts
When playing ii-V-I progressions, the simple type of voice leading shown on the previous web page has the Root moving in 5ths down (or 4ths up) while one voice on the treble clef moves and one does not move.
As graciousy pointed out by jayemar in a post on the CharlieHunter.com Message Board, for those who are new to voice leading with 7th chords it helps to know that:
Notice in the first measure of the example, the Dm chord is voiced D-F-C (R-3-7), then the G7 chord is voiced G-F-B (R-7-3), then the CM7 chord is voiced C-E-B (R-3-7).

Finally, here is an example of lead sheet notation of a melody with chord symbols, in which the melody notes and chords from Example 4 are shown in a modern "fake book" sample in Example 5.
Spelling (names of the notes) and voicing of chords (position of the notes in the chord) are left to the skill and ingenuity of the performer.
Although it is not preferable for the final performance of the piece to continue in such a studious and predictable voicing, this example immediately illustrates all possible pitches available for a simple but rich harmonization.

Thus it is anticipated that the patterns identified and collated at the foreground and higher middleground levels may lead to the recognition of a vocabulary of chains of interconnected voice-leading patterns.
A third goal of the study, really an outgrowth of the previous two, is to assess the manner in which these voice-leading patterns and chains of patterns coalesce into deeper structural patterns.
Indeed, preliminary work is already beginning to show such results, and to indicate that some of these voice-leading patterns typically form identifiable chains that span larger structural units.

He was the most significant political voice for the physics community during the war, more so than Einstein because he was directly involved in the research which finally led to the physical creation of nuclear weapons.

 Guitar Tab Universe - Forum -> 03 - Advanced: Voice Leading
The voice leading away from a triad with a doubled 3rd must be handled carefully because the conventions discussed thus far all assume doubled roots.
In the major mode, if the leading tone or M7 is in an inner voice, it may be moved down by step to an M6, as in the third example.
I'm not against powerchord riffs at all, however, I hate the ones that are all in the same voicing, because they go against every voice leading theory rule in the book.

 Re: Misleading Voice Leading
Well one area where shell voicings sound thin as accompaniment to a melody is when the melody itself is the 3rd or the 7th of the chords, as happens frequently in ATTYA.
Honestly, I find > this voicing too sparse, and it does not seem to be harmonically > complete, especially when you are playing thick and lush slow ballads > like "Misty" or "All The Things You Are".
These voicings do not give you any type of a well thought out bass line but they do sound more or less complete.
