How to practice transforming themes, scalar mapping

A set of exercises to practice transforming themes by moving between different underlying scales, combined with some guidelines for harmonization and orchestration. This is the fourth video in a series on transforming themes and scalar mapping. To get the most out of this video, I recommend going through the playlist "How to transform and develop musical ideas" in order the order given. That playlist includes a detailed explanation of scalar mapping https://youtu.be/6joUB_0BOiE and the full demonstration of scalar mapping on the hymn Amazing Grace (including the original hymn and a pentatonic mapping) https://youtu.be/Ve-ASqMnT6U In addition to that videos in the playlist, there are also accompanying worksheets available in the Patreon shop (free for members) which may be helpful to try before attempting these exercises. https://www.patreon.com/GalenDeGraf SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE USED Graphic design/animation: Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro Music notation: Dorico Audio examples: Cubase with Native Instruments Noire and Orchestral Tools Berlin Series Microphone: Shure MV7 https://amzn.to/3WoVPlm RECOMMENDED/RELATED READING Dmitri Tymoczko, "A Geometry of Music" (a fabulous book, but abstract and mathematical, see especially Chapter 4, "scales") https://amzn.to/3UkNXi0 CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 1:51 Exercise 1 5:48 Exercise 2 7:08 Exercise 3 9:58 Exercise 4a 12:02 Exercise 4b 13:28 More options Disclaimer: Some links found in this description may be affiliate links, meaning I will make commission on sales you make through my link at no cost to you. #musictheory #composer #orchestration
