The modal or scalic section demonstrates how the Major Scale ( Ionian Mode) and the Lydian Mode can be used of these chords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDreaming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This piece demonstrates how one diminished 7th chord shape can be used as a link between four seemingly unrelated keys. The chord used is C diminished 7th. When inverted the chord can also be seen as, E Flat diminished 7th, F sharp diminished 7th and A diminished 7th chords. The keys used in the piece are B Flat Major, D Flat Major, E Major, G Minor and finishing in the original B Flat Major key. The tune uses a broken left hand figure, and makes use of the other chords covered in the previous two compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGliding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work uses both Major 6th and Minor 7th chords, which are in fact inversions of one another. The title comes form the gliding movement in the right hand melody line, which use triplets to glide through the D sixth chord. The rhythmic features of the tune include eighth note triplets followed by either straight eighths. The scalic section uses Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Aeolian modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleaming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The featured chords in this work are the Minor 6th and the Half-diminished seventh chords. The piece has a modern feel to it, and could be accompanied by a light eighth-note rock rhythm. Features of the work include syncopation. It is a through-composed piece, in four main sections. Which begin at measures (bars) 1, 11, 22, and 30 respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese pieces have been recorded and are available on Margaret Brandman's Sonorities CD\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Susan Brandman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0949683191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780949683199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jazzem Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.05d","brand":"Margaret Susan Brandman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438046720255,"sku":"9780949683199","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19295751-7cfb-440b-912b-baa6116f43e4.jpg?v=1777168441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dreamweaving-margaret-susan-brandman-9780949683199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
