Par LEVY ERNST. Ernst Levy a constitué au fil du temps une réflexion importante sur des aspects de la musique abordés d?une manière sensible et originale. Des notes ont été rédigées en français sous le titre Connaissance Harmonique, traduites par Sigmund Levarie qui en a tiré un ouvrage devenu un classique A Theory of Harmony. Malgré des démonstrations parfois complexes et des postulats qui bousculent quelque peu notre approche habituelle de l?harmonie, Levy ne perd jamais de vue que la musique, avant tout, se passe dans l?âme. À quelque chose d?intérieur, de spirituel, correspond un quelque chose d?extérieur, de physique : le son. Et la musique se produit lorsque les deux sont en harmonie. Il aborde ainsi une étude sur les propriétés du son via le sonomètre et la table de Pythagore. À partir de la série des harmoniques, il propose une série imaginaire symétrique par inversion des intervalles, qui aboutit à ce qu?il appelle les harmoniques inférieures. De cette série naîtra la conception de l?harmonie négative. Elle s?applique aussi bien aux accords qu?aux gammes (phrygienne, éolienne?), mais aussi aux cadences. Le cycle des quintes nous sera d?une grande utilité pour trouver toutes les correspondances de l?harmonie négative. L?auteur établit ensuite l?importance de la tierce au sein de la triade. Ainsi que les relations mineures-majeures, avec une exploration des chaînes de cadences ? coté négatif, contre-direction, symétrie, accords réciproques avec réciprocité absolue des mineur et majeur. Levy explique aussi sa conception des accords consonants et dissonants, lesquelles dissonances sont illimitées/ Théorie / Harmonie

Ce Tome 2 s'adresse à tous les instrumentistes, arrangeurs et compositeurs disposant d'un solide bagage et qui souhaitent acquérir de nouveaux éléments de langage. Il est le prolongement logique du Tome 1 sur lequel il s'appuie et dont il reprend la plupart des principes et des termes. À travers cet ouvrage, nous vous proposons de découvrir des notions pédagogiques rarement abordées ailleurs?: - un système modal basé sur l'analyse de cinq gammes mères (dont le majeur harmonique et le majeur double harmonique)? - - l'étude exhaustive des échelles à transposition limitée? - - les différents types de pédales? - - les mouvements horizontaux (conduites de voix et conjonctions mélodiques)? - - les accords d'appoggiature. Pour optimiser l'apprentissage, le livre se présente comme une méthode progressive, chaque notion étant exposée, mise en contexte à l'aide d'un exemple (fichiers audio écoutables en ligne) puis validée par une série d'exercices (avec leurs corrigés). Il explicite et rend accessible bon nombre de principes et de techniques qui permettent de comprendre et de s'approprier le langage des plus illustres musiciens de jazz. En Harmonie a pour ambition de stimuler la créativité de chacun en proposant des outils originaux, efficaces et immédiatement utilisables. Vous trouverez à l'adresse Internet un fichier audio d'une sélection d'exemples musicaux signalés dans l'ouvrage par un pictogramme. ' Grâce à cette méthode, le précieux legs de Bill Evans et de Bernard Maury est désormais accessible à tous. ' Enrico Pieranunzi / Orchestre D'Harmonie

George Self. This book recognises that aural work is essential to help pupils derive the full benefits from class music. The 17 lessons are designed to be used with students of varied ability. Most questions are based on the comparative method; for example a short melodic shape is played pupils identify this from three or four shapes printed in their own books. Gradually structural elements are introduced and the book draws its examples from different musical periods and cultures.George Self.
