Week of Nov. 14

Hey gang,

This week we're covering the basics of how to voice a chord, types of structure, spacing, & parallels.

A few points:

Open structure: soprano & tenor are an octave or more apart.
Close structure: soprano & tenor are less than an octave apart.

Spacing: there cannot be more than an octave between soprano & alto or alto & tenor.

Objectionable parallels: 5ths & 8ves (parallel, parallel by contrary motion, unequal, direct)

We'll also sit in on Ms. Woolf's lecture recital Wednesday for some applicable chord analysis.

See you soon!
