Episode 18: BASS LINES

Episode 18 of THE HARMONIOUS BLACKSMITH : A MUSIC THEORY EXPLORATION is all about Bass Lines. We will review a few terms to lead up to it like : Melody, Harmony, Chords, Chord Progressions, Scales, and even Gregorian Chant.

New terms include : Bass Lines, Range, Voice-Leading, Counterpoint, and SATB/4-part harmony. We will discuss the 4 main vocal ranges for SATB Chorale-style compositions and how the Bass Range lends itself to Bass Lines.

In the end, we will take a famous song as well as the prototypical I-IV-V progression and play a "Bass Line Game" in order to understand how Bass Lines are constructed, function, and the overall creativity that is possible.
