toy-ish

Converting Toy (Francis Cutting) 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:

Short Plan for Key Centers:

||: A :||: A → b → B :||: A :||

-- or --

||: 1M :||: 1M → 2m → 2M :||: 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: 1 → 3 → 4 → 1 → 5

Section 2 (Phrase Rhythm 1):

A (or 1M):

◦ The Way In: 4

◦ The Innards: 4 → 1

b (or 2m):

◦ The Way In: 1

◦ The Innards: 1 → 5 → 1M

Section 3 (Phrase Rhythm 1):

A (or 1M):

◦ The Way In: 5

◦ The Innards: 5 → 2 → 7 → 2 → 4 → 5 → 1
