Learn 6 different types of motivic development and how motives provide the architecture of a melody.
Today’s episode continues our 3-part series on MELODY and how it tells a story. We’ll examine what a motive is and how we can alter and develop them to create variation and interest throughout the melody.
Once you understand the logic of the architecture of the melody, you can make your own informed and personal choices about how you want to interpret a song. You’ll know when to stick to the ink (when the writing is genius as is – hello, Sondheim!), and you’ll know when there’s flexibility and room for you stylistic flair to be added.
I’ll cover a range of song examples from jazz standards to Golden Age classics, from Sondheim to contemporary Disney movie musicals. ALL songs are comprised of motives and utilize motivic development!
If you’re ready to reach a new level of understanding and interpreting your songs, then press play now!
