Spagnoletta-ish

Converting Spagnoletta (Anonymous) to R.O.

This piece is from The Reaniassance Guitar from the Frederick Noad Guitar Anthology Series.

I purchased the series to figure out a set of representative harmonic plans (from pieces) for each period, and convert to RO lead sheets to build a kind of improv repertoire.

Phrase rhythms taken from the piece/form -- not exact, but representative & easier to hold onto while improvising.

Also, changed from 3/4 to 6/4 (instead of to 6/8) -- to think & feel in larger groupings:

Another version:

Short Plan for Key Centers:

||: a → C :||: C → a :|| a → A ||

-- or --

||: 1m → 3M :||: 3M → 1m :|| 1m → 1M ||

Long Plan for Key Centers:

The Way In = How to get to the tonic of THIS key
The Innards = After the The Way In, what else happens in THIS key
4-63 & 7-63 feel like they make more sense in this context, but I'll have to research that a bit more (i.e. the parallel 63 chords of Fauxbourdon)

Section 1 (Phrase Rhythm 1):

a (or 1m):

◦ The Way In: 1

◦ The Innards: none

C (or 3M) :

◦ The Way In: 7-63

◦ The Innards: 4-63 → 5 → 1

Section 2 (Phrase Rhythm 1):

C (or 3M):

◦ The Way In: 1

◦ The Innards: 6(#6-3) → 5

a (or 1m):

◦ The Way In: 7-63

◦ The Innards: 1 → 5 → 1M

Section 3 (Phrase Rhythm 2):

a (or 1m):

◦ The Way In: 1

◦ The Innards: 1 → 5 → 1 → 5, 5 → 1 → 5 → 1M
