As I said "psychologically correct", I don't write functional harmony. It has been more than 15 years since I stop writing V-I motion, not to mention II-V. I mimic the resolution using Lydian Chromatic Concept's Tonal Gravity. Here is one of the examples which will be included in our next CD: <http://www.anonemusic.com/qt_repo/trio20060718/01TicketFlower.mp3> There is no V-I motion, no progression that you can analyze in traditional sense, but full of Tonal Gravity, which is a very psychological direction. On the other hand, the melody can be totally horizontal to the gravity, and shouldn't be spelled according to the harmony which is vertical. The performer shouldn't consider the underneath harmony in this case. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
