Happy Face 29 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Why do some rhythms get our toes tapping, while others make us feel mellow? How does a love song bring tears to our eyes? What links African drumming to J S Bach? In this new four-part series composer Howard Goodall strips music down to its essential parts to find out how music works. We all respond to music – whether clicking our fingers, humming along or dancing – there's something out there for everyone. In this series Goodall looks at melody, rhythm, harmony and bass to establish how music is made and how it comes to reflect different cultures. Setting out on a journey that spans the globe and moves through the centuries, Goodall uncovers the elements that are shared by all styles of music. Following a trail of diverse musical talents from Mahler to David Bowie; the blues to Bulgarian folk songs; medieval choral music to disco; he reveals the tried and tested tricks of the composer's trade. Sounds canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13921 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Sounds like very basic compositional theory for the masses. Spoils the mystery though doesnt it? Is David Bowie an alien? Well actually he operates within numerous scales and rhythms to sell his product to the masses..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
