Book 1




CREATIVE MUSICIANS EVERYWHERE:

 There are periods in every musician's life when creative ideas for
improvising, arranging, and composing become increasingly difficult to
obtain.  When improvising, do you sometimes find yourself playing cliches,
 uninteresting patterns, or unimaginative runs over chord progressions? In
 arranging or composing do you find it difficult to create new melodic
ideas  over chord progressions?  If your answer is "yes,"  217 SEQUENCES
FOR THE CONTEMPORARY MUSICIAN can help stimulate your imagination and
creative instinct for a more interesting and exciting improvisation,
arrangement, or composition.    

 The book contains 217 sequences and is arranged in four sections:  1).
1-56. TRITONE INTERVALS, 2). 1-43. AUGMENTED CHORDS, 3). 1-34. DIMINISHED
7TH CHORDS, and 4 ). 1-84. ASSORTED PATTERNS.  Every sequence is written
out in all 12 keys using the cycle of perfect 4ths
C-F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db{C#}-Gb{F#}-Cb{B}-E-A-D-G. 

 There is an explanation of each sequence group and examples of how to use
each pattern over a chord.  A chordal chart at the end of each sequence
section, explaining the possible uses of the particular sequence, makes
this book very easy and practical to use.

 The book has: 1) a complete listing of Duple and Triple meter sequences
with articulations for wind or string players, and  2) for composers and
arrangers, a paragraph explaining the possible ways in which a sequence
can inspire new creative techiques.

 All in all, the range of the sequences ( G below middle C to D above the 
treble staff) makes them easily accessible for most instruments,  and can
be played by all levels .
       
THIS  BOOK  IS  A  HELPFUL  TOOL  FOR  ANYONE  WHO  VIEWS  MUSIC  AS 
BEING  A  LIVING,  CREATIVE,  AND  EXPERIMENTAL  ART  FORM.
