Who Can I Turn to (When Nobody Needs Me) Â.Song from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless) Â.The ultimate collection for jazz keyboardists to learn 40 Evans classics with exact note-for-note transcriptions. Or as we say in Virginia 'It's as easy as pie.' Read even more details on our blog.Will the Circle Be Unbroken Bury Me Beneath the Willow All the Good Times Are Past and Gone Don't This Road Look Rough and Rocky Amazing Grace Over in the Glorylandīill Evans Omnibook for Piano. With three keys to choose from you can also find a harmony part to suit yourvoice.Along the way we offer some helpful hints such as 'What key do I sing in?' 'How do I find my harmony part?' and 'How can I get a good blend?' At the very end Murphy and Bill break out their banjos for a rousing quartetversion of 'Over in the Gloryland.' Very entertaining!If you've been wondering how to sing harmony we've made it as easy as possible. Sometimes the men (Bill Chris) take the lead sometimes the women (Murphy Janet) take the lead. We sing several songs in three different keys so no matter what your vocal range you can tryyour hand at singing the lead part. You learn your part by singing along with us. First you hear thethree (or four) voices blending together then you hear each harmony part sung separately. Murphy and friends Bill Evans Janet Beazley and Chris Stuart join together to sing some beautiful trios and quartets. Perhaps other musicians do analyse lines in terms of the key but I have found my approach to be very effective due to the reasons above.Harmony Singing Made Easy teaches you to sing harmony by ear. I’m not saying that my approach is the definitive and correct way to transpose lines. So you would have to analyse the material in terms of the individual chord, not the key. There are two consecutive 251s on the first line, but the rest the chords do not fit into 25s, or 251s as it it is a modal composition. But my point is that most of the form does not follow traditional harmonic frameworks such as 251s. Incidentally, I did transcribe this line from one of Bill Evans’ recordings of this tune. Something else that has just come to mind… using your approach, how would you analyse a line over a tune such as Blue In Green: ? I would recommend thinking of it on a per-chord basis. For example, when I am thinking in terms of scale degrees of each chord, I know which scale degrees will sound nice (primary chord tones, extensions, perhaps alterations over the dominant chord.) Now to do that whilst thinking of the key, seems super difficult to me. In addition, it may limit your ability to change, modify, or extend the line. Whilst I’m not discrediting your approach of analysing it in terms of they key, I think this would be a harder task. I think it’s very important to see and visualise the point of transition from ii-7 to V7, and in particular the point of resolution from the V7 to the Imaj7 chord. It’s very common to resolve into the 3 of a major chord. The 2 key bits of information there, are that the first note I play on the V7 chord is the 6/13, and then the first note I play on the Imaj7 chord is the major 3. I also make note of the scale degree where the chord changes, and I find this helps me apply it to new keys because I have these ‘anchor points’ in mind.įor example, with this line I think of it as the upper extensions over the ii-7 chord (9, 11 & 13), then i hit the 6/13 of the V7 chord and fall down the basic triad of the V7 chord before resolving into the 3 of the Imaj7 chord. When transcribing, I have always analysed the scale degree in relation to the underlying chord, not the underlying key.
