I've finished my final project for my theory class. Its a simple song called Inevitability that is in Sonata Allegro form (AABA). Its written for piano and cello. A strange combo perhaps, but it seems to work.

Mark and I scored a piece of music called "The Raven" which is based on the last verse of Edgar Allen Poe's classic poem of the same name. You can find the MP3 here. It is scored for 4 voices, a piano intro and a two part string section (violin and cello).
The score itself is here. Courtesy solfege notes are included above the words for sight reading ease.
Enjoy!

Chorale 17 is next... but if you look closely, its identical to chorale 15, except that its just a half step lower...
So I am not going to post MP3s for chorale 17. Just use the MP3s for chorale 15.
My friend Mark and I have been enjoying a wonderful site on the web called "Ear Plane". Its a site that has many little ear training tests, both melodic and harmonic. It goes from the very simple to the extremely complicated to the impossible (well, for me anyway... heh).
If you are looking to improve your ear, this is a great place to do it! Check it out at http://www.earplane.com
Chorale #10 is online and ready for your enjoyment! You can listen to it here:

This time I've provided all the parts. To listen, just click on the little speaker icon, or click on the the link and download the MP3 for use in your iPod or other MP3 player.
Chorale #3 is online and ready for your ejnoyment! You can listen to it here:

The first week of school has passed and I am starting to shake off the summer vacation and get back into study mode once again. This semester has pretty much the same classes as last time, Music 1 has become Music 2 and Piano 1 is now Piano 2.
I've just put up a new page in the resources area for the new chorales and solfege for the new class here: http://www.xeeban.com/resources/chorales2.html
Enjoy!
Here are four last progressions for your study.
Progression 1
Progression 2
Progression 3
Progression 4
Good luck on finals =) Summer vacation is just around the bend!
Here is Riemenschneider #74. We're nearing the end of these chorales. Sorry to all of you who are not in the music class where these are being used, there will be more regular news and items here soon. Its been quite fun singing the solfege to these pieces, I hope we do more next semester!
Chorale #4 has been added to the Resources section. I know, not a very descriptive name... but its all that was on the music to identify it besides the score. Enjoy!
This one is more difficult than the others. Lots of movement in the bass voice, the tenor jumps around a lot. The MP3s are here is Riemenschneider #186. Get them while you still have time to practice! =)
They keep on coming! Here is Riemenschneider #73 for your choraling pleasure.
I've just uploaded Riemenschneider #73 to the resources area. Enjoy and happy choraling!
I just uploaded the MP3s for Riemenschneider #72. Again, only tenor emphasis, tho the second MP3 has all parts. If anyone out there wants the other parts with emphasis, just let me know and I'll produce it.
I've uploaded the MP3 for Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind in the Resources -> Chorales section. Its has only emphasis for the tenor part as I don't have time to be nice and do all of them.
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.
The progressions are the root and 1st inversions. These in major and minor form one of the cornerstones of your harmonic grid.
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.
This was in my old blog, and it is important enough, I wanted to make sure it was here. I've run across some neat tutorials on solfege that are a great introduction to the whys and hows of it all. Read them here:
Introduction to Solfege
Solfege - Part 2
Solfege - Part 3
I've reconstructed the solfege section in the Resources area. I'll be adding more to it in the coming days, but the basic files are back. I'll try to add some more tutorial materials as well to make it more complete. Enjoy.
