Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence Series

Part of the Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence Series

Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence V2 Two Triad Pair is part of a series of books on Pitch Class Set Improvisation called Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence. V2 Two Triad Pair is divided up into two sets of exercises written in treble and bass clef.

The 1st set of exercises gets gradually harder but also more musical. Depending upon your musical skills you can start anywhere you want but for beginners I would recommend starting from the 1st exercise of the five. The 2nd set of exercises are called “Atomic Scales.”

These Pitch Class Set Improvisation exercises are a technical exercise that really helps you to learn these ideas but also sound great as a melody right off the bat. There are 6 different types of “Atomic Scales” exercises in this course. You don’t have to play every exercise in every key. But doing this will greatly increase the likelihood of you using it in real music in the future. Below is a listing of the exercises found in this course:

• Closed position studies.
• 1st inversion studies.
• 2nd inversion studies.
• Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion.
• Random combinations of closed position along with 1st and 2nd inversion with rhythmic displacement.
• Atomic Scales Exercise 1
• Atomic Scales Exercise 2
• Atomic Scales Exercise 3
• Atomic Scales Exercise 4
• Atomic Scales Exercise 5
• Atomic Scales Exercise 6

Explanation of 2nd Set of Exercises in Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence V2 Two Triad Pair Course

Below is an explanation for each set of the 6 different atomic scale exercises found in this course. Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups are presented in six different configurations. These Pitch Class Set Improvisation exercises are highly melodic and can be used verbatim as melodies when soloing.

If we thought of the three notes as A,B,C then there would be six different ways to combine these notes. i.e. ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA. All exercises include MP3s as well as midi files so that you can hear and play these exercises at any tempo as well as versions in all 12 keys.

• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ABC sequence
• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the ACB sequence
• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BAC sequence
• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the BCA sequence
• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CAB sequence
• Three octave sequences that move back and forth between the two 3 note groups in the CBA sequence

What people are saying:

This is my favorite Harmonic and Melodic Equivalence course so far. I use octatonic scales all the time and taking six notes from an octatonic scale and dividing them up into two 3 note groups is one of the coolest sounds. Thanks Bruce!! J. Ogland

Along with this book I also own the Bruce Arnold Composition Compilation. I would highly recommend working with both books because Mr. Arnold has written a lot of music that uses these various composition/improv techniques. Hearing them in use with real music makes all the difference! J. Loren

Boy Bruce these books contain some really great ideas for improvisation and they aren’t hard to do either. I was making music out of this C, Db, Eb and F#, G and A within hours. Thanks for making these very informative books A. Randell

Bruce I can’t thank you enough for the email correspondence to get me on the right track with these new books. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the prime form pitch class set stuff and of course now that I understand it is seems simple. Such a powerful tool for organizing and seeing relationships. Thanks!!
