Xeeban’s Musings

I’ve posted MP3s for G Major and G Minor. These are for solfege practice. There two MP3s with just the arpeggiated notes, one at a slow tempo and another slightly faster. The other two MP3s are blocked with chords to sing the arpeggiated solfege against, one slow and one fast.

G Major
G Minor

The progressions are the root and 1st inversions. These in major and minor form one of the cornerstones of your harmonic grid.

The Sci-fi channel is making a mini-series on Larry Niven’s Ringworld!

RINGWORLD: Based on Larry Niven’s RINGWORLD series of novels, a four-hour mini-series is in development. In the future four explorers crash on an artificial structure in deep space, a mammoth ring that circles a distant star. Exploring this strange place, the humans discover that there is life here and secrets that could change the universe forever.

I’ve added two new harmonic progressions to the solfege page in the resources area. Progression 1 is an ascending progression. Progression 2 is a descending progression. I’ve included two MP3s for each. One at 80 bpm and faster one at 100 bpm. The solfege for the progressions is indicated below the MP3 links.

The progressions are:

Progression 1: i – ii73 – V6/III (VII) – III – i6 – V6/iv (I6) – iv – i6 – ii73 – vii6 – i
Progression 2: i V6 – v6 – IV6 – iv6 – i64 – V4-3 – V – V6 – i

Enjoy.
