Many
polyrhythms and
polymeters simultaneous
combinations of more than
one rhythmic pattern
exist in todays music,
with some being so common
they could be referred to
as rhythm licks. This
book presents a unique
and comprehensive
approach to polymetric
applications of various
rhythms over common chord
progressions and song
forms in 3/4 and 4/4,
written primarily for
instruments with chordal
capabilities. Non-chordal
instrumentalists
interested in rhythmic
development and
contemporary phrasing may
also benefit. Polymetric
rhythms will force a
variety of harmonic
anticipations and delays
which can have a profound
and beneficial effect on
harmonic, melodic, and
improvisational phrasing.
In addition, the focused
attention and expanded
awareness needed to
master these exercises
can also help in your
sensitivity and response
to the surrounding
environment and your
interactions with other
musicians and
audience.
