What We Learn From Dameron The Composer<\/em><\/span>
\nTadd Dameron was exceptionally skilled at composing melodies. While he is often remembered for his harmonic innovations, these were always at the service of his melodies. This lecture explores in detail, the variety of melodic designs, care in note choice, and subtlety of \u201cpoetic rhythm\u201d found in his many compositions.<\/p>\n

Dameron\u2019s Long Form Work<\/em><\/span>
\nTadd Dameron had an interest in composition that went beyond song form compositions, and arrangements developed from them. HI best known \u201ctone poem\u201d is \u201cFontainebleau\u201d from 1956. It was preceded in the 1940s by \u201cNearness,\u201d \u201cSoulphony In Three Hearts,\u201d and possibly some scores written for Stan Kenton\u2019s Innovations In Modern Music Orchestra. There were also at least two works from his last years, that we still hope can be found some day. This lecture explores Dameron\u2019s compositional techniques, which are different from those employed in his song form work.<\/p>\n

Harmonic Themes In Dameron\u2019s Body Of Work<\/em><\/span>
\nMany know the \u201cDameron Turn-Around\u201d found in the last two measures of \u201cLady Bird,\u201d but probably not all the variations on this device found in his work, both compositions and arrangements. Then there is his recurring interest in key relationships a third apart, especially the tonic to that a minor third above which he explores in a variety of ways. These and other topics are discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
