GCSE Music Edexcel - 24th May 2013 (Official Thread)

Miles Davis' chord structure is much more fancier than the traditional blues structure.
Traditional blues structure: C1, C1, C1, C1, CIV, CIV, C1, C1, CV, CIV, C1, C1
Miles Davis' structure goes: I7, I7, I7, I7, Im7, Im7, I7, I7, V7#9, VIb7#9 V7#9M, I7, I7

Now, it may seem confusing, but look here:
The 'C' stands for chords and the 'I' in the Miles Davis section stands for the chord number e.g. chord V means 5th chord

So, Davis uses the chords in G. This means the scale involves: G(I), A(II), B(III), C(IV), D(V), E(VI), F(VII) etc.

Now simply plug in the scale into his structure.
Davis' structure: I7, I7, I7, I7, Im7, Im7, I7, I7, V7#9 VIb7#9, V7#9, I7, I7
Plug it in: G7, G7, G7, G7, Gm7, Gm7, G7, G7, D7#9, Eb7#9, D7#9, G7, G7

Ta da! That's the chords MILES DAVIS uses.


CONFUSION: Chords that Moby uses
Moby follows an 8-bar structure rather than a 12-bar-blues structure

NOTE: Each chord lasts 2 bars IN THE VERSE that is why I have repeated the chords in the first chord set
The chords in the verse are: Am, Am, Em, Em, Gmj, Gmj, Dmj, Dmj
The chords in the chorus are: Cmj, Cmj, Am, Am, Cmj, Cmj, Am, Am
The chords in the chorus WITH LOOPS are: Fm, Fm, Cmj, Cmj, Fm, Fm, Cmj, Cmj
The vocal samples are in Am

How about chords in other set works

Rhythmic cadence? What on earth haha
I don't know what you mean but a possible answer could be a tihai? A short section played three times that ends on the Sam (first note of the tal) :s?

Well, I don't think there are chords in every set work however, if you're referring to harmony, here it is (by the way, I'm doing this from the top of my head so, I may be wrong)

Handel
It's in A major however it modulates to E major twice and B major once

Mozart
Most of this piece is in G minor however, in the exposition section, the 2nd subject, the bridge passage/transition is in Bb major
The development section has F#m.
The final section, the recapitulation, goes through various keys such Eb major, D major and Fm and returns to Gm for the Coda

Yes, you're right!

What does everyone think the 12 markers are going to be on? Hoping for Handel or Schoenberg for AoS1

You know what? I've always hated Peripetie but now I think it would be a great essay question to answer!

I know! It's so different from the others that I can think of points really easily, but I get pieces like Mozart and Chopin mixed up really easily because they're quite similar

Dude you do realise according to last years grade boundaries you would need like 27/80 to get a b and to get an a you only need like 50/80!

I swear the grade boundaries were like 86% for an A* last year? http://community.tes.co.uk/tes_music/f/29/t/483342.aspx
