Speaking of Harmony - Episode 37 - You Can Do a Lot with One Type of Chord!
On this episode I show two examples of music from the Minas Geraes region in Brazil, by the great Lô Borges (often recorded by Milton Nascimento, the case here on both examples - both songs from the same Milton record), whose music has had a huge impact on myself. Having talked about Milton's amazing music before, I circle back to it showing another aspect of that group of composers; the use of the same color type chord, sometimes throughout the entire composition. I show an example of Lô Borge's "Trem Azul", where it's all major 7th chords and "Tudo Que Você Podia Ser", a masterpiece with all minor 9th chords. Enjoy!
