Just to continue our previous session...!
For example,
if the first chord is formed on first note of song, (after evaluating atleast 6 possibilities..)
if the 2nd chord is also formed on second note, (again after searching atleast 6 possibilities..)
Now, examination of first and second chords demand an evaluation of inter-relationship note by note horizontally as well as vertically…satisfying some rules called Harmony rules…(hundreds of rules)…...!
If any problems encountered at this stage……
.. again check all the possible combinations of re-arranging the notes of present and previous chords to get satisfactory results….!
Then proceed with the 3rd Chord for the third note…!
If third chord formation requires again re-arranging of previous two chords you again change them……!
And so on….! On and on……!
To complete the harmonization of a song…!
If you are a software person, I would have given my problem like this…… to carry out the System Analysis, Design and write a programme…for the above problem....!
Any you may be taking some weeks/months to give me a mathematical machine-like solutions…..!
Of course the human decisions on the desirable sound and notes cannot be equated by any machine based decisions….!
So imagine a Artificial Intelligence Programming situation…....!
So imagine the complexities…!
To satisfy Knowldege Based Rules and Database….!
But, my dear friends…!
This is what the problem our IR is solving instantaneously on daily basis…. matter of minutes....!
Day after Days......Year after years….! …..Decade after decades….!
Keeping the CREATIVE SPRIT AND TALENT INTACT….!
Please remember that so far what we are talking about is a simple case of single scale, 3-notes chord only…..!
Chords are generally formed with 4 notes (four part harmony), and some cases more than 5 notes also…….!
Again….considering the modulation aspects……The permutations and combinations are increasing manifold…..!
Now, over and above……. imagine the entirely different field called Carnatic Music and its mind boggling pattern formations, which IR is mastering with his fusion techniques……!
In case of Harmony theory for Carnatic music, if you want that, it will reach Dimension of unlimited proportions….!
Hello……! All these are only to explain the Syllabus of Harmony…..! Just Syllabus...!
To have a real study into the subject and mastering the skills one need their life time.
That way, IR's works so far may be equivalent to many... many.... births!
We are now in situation Like standing on the sea-shore of Kanyakumari……and seeing the Oceans in all directions…!
If you have the courage to take a plunge…and swim….Please do that..!
