Talk About The Pentatonic Sexual Tone Harmonic Chord Structure

Chord structure touches the fundamental of the study of harmony. Different from the Classical harmony with the focus of Third structure, there are many different kinds of chord structures in Pentatonic Mode Harmony. The chord with different structures will definitely have different harmony effects. No matter how different the harmony effects produced by these different structures is, their basic starting point is the same, i.e., to harmonize its style with the national Pentatonic melodious style in the creation of professional multi-voice music. To achieve this purpose better, the research and discussion of chord structure also becomes very important.Mr. Li Yinghai published Chinese Mode and Harmony in 1959(republished in April, 2001), which is the conscious effort towards the construction of our own national harmony system. Therefore the deep harmony analysis of his masterpiece Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun will play an important role in studying the chord structure and the application of Pentatonic Mode Harmony.This passage focuses on the harmony analysis of Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun, emphasizing the study of chord structure application. There are four main parts in the whole passage:Chapter I: The creating background of Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun This chapter first makes a brief introduction of composer Mr. Li Yinghai, then the historical development of the original Chinese lute music Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun, and last illuminates from the historical background and production process of Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun as well as from the composer's theoretical research of Pentatonic Mode Harmony.Chapter II: The chord structure of Pentatonic Mode Harmony Because of different classifying standards, different works will have different classification modes, with a general impression of disorder. According to the present state of the study of National Harmony, this chapter will reclassify the chord structure of Pentatonic Mode Harmony into basic chord structure and complicated chord structure. Basic chord structure refers to those based on the principle of similar interval overlapping, divided into Third Structure, Fourth Structure and Fifth Structure Second Structure; Complicated chord structure refers to those based on the principle of different Interval overlapping, divided into Vertical Structure Complex Structure Linear Structure, etc. At the same time, this chapter will illustrate with new chord marking method and large amounts of examplesChapter III: Harmony analysis of Drum and Bamboo pipe in the Setting Sun The first section makes a brief classification of its tone structure. The second is athorough analysis of the harmony application, focusing on chord structures. Besides, it is also involved in such contents as Melody Method Theme Development Method Section Development Mode and Tonality and Cadence etc. The third section is an overall analysis, with an emphasis on the induction and summary of the chord structure application, as well as the overall account of the harmony characteristics in Cadence Section Development etc. Chapter IV: The comparison between Chinese and Western chord structure This chapter will compare these two kinds of structures, focusing on the structural manner of basic structure chord, its similarities and differences in usage as well as the explanation of its origin with folk music.
