Voice Leading Overview

Introduction

Tonal music (and to some extent pre-tonal music and some 20th century music) is made up of an interaction between surface voice leading and underlying patterns of root progressions. This website is based on original research which explains how these underlying root progression patterns work and shows how they form musical phrase structures.

In order to understand the underlying root progressions, it is necessary to first strip away the surface voice leading. The purpose of this stripping away is not to ignore the surface voice leading, but in the process of analysing the surface, to understand how it contributes to the motivic and melodic elements of the music. These analyses also reveal aspects of the voice leading and root progression patterns which contribute to the period, style and mood of the music.

Tonal music is not just a series of block chords but involves individual voices or parts moving through the harmony. These form the melody, the bass and middle voices. These voices flow through the underlying harmonic structure and each is in counterpoint with the other voices. The movement of these voices is governed by the principles of voice leading. These interactions are important not just in classical music but also in popular and other 20th century music.

Twice, I have experienced Keith’s didgeridoo music, and both times were memorable. The first time was after yoga practice. A small group of us lay on the floor, both listening to and feeling the vibration of Keith’s playing. It felt universal, like the effect of the word OM in its purest form. The second time, Keith played his CD for me. Again, the music vibrated throughout my body in an elemental way. Later that night I went to hear a friend play guitar and sing. Affected by the didgeridoo music, I felt my friend’s music resonating within my internal organs. My ability to listen had expanded beyond simply hearing to become a complete body experience.

Elizabeth is a regular attendee to my yoga classes ; sometimes I bring the didgeridoo, harmonium or bells and we chant and have sound meditation in the yoga classes. ~ Keith

The healing session was wonderful. I had been burdened with a constant headache, and a tooth ache ( that needs surgery) for a couple weeks before the session. I noticed it completely disappeared after the session. The tooth issue is coming back slightly, but the headaches are gone. ( I’m sure the tooth ache will continue to return until it’s been operated on!). That coupled with a sense of peace, clarity and a deeper connection spiritually was the outcome of the session. So, thank you!

Jennifer received a private sound session with guided meditation, didgeridoo, drumming & affirmation, harmonium and chanting, bells, chimes and silence. ~ Keith

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”
