LESSON 7
POPULAR MUSIC
Ø Popular songs came about in the late 19th century. As time progressed, It brought on many changes. After following many changes, today, songs like jazz, hip-hop, metal, and rock are a few genres that evolved from popular songs. Even though there were changes, it incorporated both techniques. These changes made some differences in musical forms, scales, meter, rhythm, and harmony.
Tritone substitutions
Ø When arranging a tritone substitution, the first thing you may want to do is to consider V7/bV7, which calls for using the dominant 7th chord. If in the key of C major, the dominant 7th chord will be G, B, D, F, and the V/V flats will be Db, F, Ab, Cb. B, the enharmonic equivalent to Cb, now is substituting C flat, a tritone of F.
The middle row of this diagram shows the V/V tritone substitution and the key to which it belongs.

This diagram
shows the Db7 chord as the tritone chord substitution using Db, F, Ab, and B substituting
for Cb.

Ø Using the D flat dominant 7th chord, I can now arrange a sharpen 11th chord with a flattened 5th. The chord is now Db, F, Ab, Cd, Eb, G with Cb substituting B, an augmented 6th above Db. This method helps prevent parallel fifths, which sometimes come up when using V7 or V chords. In the key of C major, G holds a Common tone between both chords, which helps resolve.
This diagram gives an example of a tritone sharpened 11th chord with a flattened 5th, and it is the actual first chord in the melody.

Ø Using the exact D flat 11th sharpened chord, once the C flat converts into B enharmonic equivalent, the chord is recognized as the French augmented 6th chord.
This diagram gives an example of the French augmented 6th chord.

Ø The German augmented 6th chord has the same characteristics as the French augmented 6th chord. The differences are that instead of a 7th dominant chord, it uses a flat ninth without the root.
This diagram shows an example of the German augmented 6th chord as labeled.
