Add colour, and sophistication to your chord voicings. Learn to use fourths, clusters, upper-structure triads, and other advanced arranging and performing techniques for three to six parts. Through a step-by-step process with exercises and recorded examples, the authors guide you through the intricacies of deriving "non-tertial" voicings from the right chord scales and applying them to various musical situations. Become fluent in these techniques and use them effectively to express your own music. Experiment with unusual combinations and non-traditional alignments, mixing in other textures, including solo, linear, and contrapuntal passages; listen to arranging techniques performed on the CD and follow along with corresponding notated examples. The definitive text for the Chord Scales course at Berklee College of Music.
