Each Chord Has a Double Function

04/05/2019 6:26:25 AM Friday


If Each Chord Has a Double Function


should we invert the numbers of the chords:

1-5-3-7flat

and their inversions in the octave

1-4-6flat-2


this kind of tritonic mystery is best left to
General J. J. de Virués y Spinola and his klavier

for the Pythagoreans will battle
Aristoxenus till the cows come home
if the demi-tones are left to
gather the morning dew as jewels on
spider webs bridging my ivy runs

it's like comparing the present state of
world politics to chord progressions:

first, we have the preparation of the chords
second, suspension systems are locked into place
third, resolution is heard as intervals
ride the creative train to the Final Tonic

the crashing cymbals punctuating the Ear's
last vibrating air

however, not all combinations of chords
produce a harmonious sequence of sounds

loud-mouthed contra-buffoons yell - Fire!
where there isn't one

not even a tiny puff of smoke

the drums of the national marching bands
decline into a cacophony equal to
the roar of a volcano blowing its top

rules of relations and progressions
become indistinguishable from white noise

or the hiss of a nuclear power station
approaching core meltdown

yes! that's it!

there is a language that leads to harmony!
observation of humanness
roots of life studies
commonweal motion machines
extremes and means challenged
combining beneficial mental diagrams into
the "Big Picture Show"
the proof is in the art
the Spirit is ever present

the child can teach the adult
the necessary counterpoint at
any playground with
a sandbox and swing

"Pump your legs in and out, daddy! and you'll
rise higher and higher!"

our system of "worldly progress" runs at about
2 to 3 percent over a thousand year
time-line.

Go figure.

Las descripciones vanas son
pintadas con manos inhumanas.

Go figure.



Mark 14:12

And the first day of unleavened bread,
when they killed the passover,
his disciples said unto him,
Where wilt thou that we go and prepare
that thou mayest eat the passover?
