Compose The B Section

This week, we will work on composing and performing the B section for our project. We will be modulating from the original key in the B section, so this week may be a little complicated. If you need help, ask your classmates for their advice.

Hey guys, welcome back.

The first two videos we did the first two A sections.

This video will be on the B section.

B section is very unique,

in the sense that we are writing it in the relative minor key.

The first two A sections were in the major key which was F.

This section will be in the relative minor which is D minor.

Now, I've created three options for you in terms of the chords you will use.

You can choose from any one of those three.

And you will see the options that are listed there with your support material.

When I'll use the first one here.

We'll go right to D minor, that'll be our first chord.

Put B section here.

B in the box.

D minor for the first bar.

G minor for the second bar.

We go back to D minor.

For the third bar.

Then I'm going to go to the five chord and make it A minor 7.

Then we're going to go back to D minor.

G minor again.

Notice there is not a lot of movement in this.

And I chose to do that because I want to create a slightly different feel

than the A sections.

And then I'll go to B flat major here.

And then we end it with a C7.

I chose the C7 because that's a 5-7 chord of F.

And remember 5-7 is a dominant chord,

which has a tendency to want to go back home to the 1 chord.

So this is what that progression sounds like.

So we have D minor.

[MUSIC]

G minor.

[MUSIC]

And D minor again.

[MUSIC]

A minor.

[MUSIC]

D minor.

[MUSIC]

G minor.

[MUSIC]

D flat major.

[MUSIC]

C7, and we\ll eventually go back to [SOUND] to the 1 chord.

We start the next A section.

So I'm going to play what we have so far.

The first two A sections.

And you'll notice I didn't start out very complicated.

Started out nice and simple.

Added a little bit more with the second A section, when we added the mole and

we changed chords.

Then we had another change with the B section,

where we went to our relative minor key.

This is what it sounds like so far, just the chords.

One, two, three, four.

[MUSIC]

4 [SOUND] 3 [SOUND] 2 [SOUND] back to 2 [SOUND] 5 [SOUND] 1.

Back to the second A section.

[MUSIC]

2 [SOUND] 5 [SOUND] flat 3.

[MUSIC]

Flat six [SOUND] flat seven [SOUND].

Now we go to the B section.

[MUSIC]

All right, that's the last bar, 5-7 and then when we start the next section which

will be another A section, we'll go back to one.

You have two other B sections to choose from.

Have fun guys.
