a rather random request for all you music theorists out there... (and i know you're out there)
my theory's way rusty, and i can't figure out some of the chords to the song below... any help/suggestion/answers would be appreciated... i'll even bake you some cookies if you help me figure it out :D
( Read more... )
a) yes, I love that musical too:) dunno why, but the song popped into my head randomly, and I couldn't place it... it's been a while since I've seen the movie... I should rent it again
b) I think you're right about it being from an earlier show, since I remember watching a documentary about most of the songs being earlier Freed/Brown works (funny tidbit that you prolly already know -- Make 'em Laugh was written for the movie.. they wanted a song like Porter's Be A Clown, and Freed wrote a song that was so similar to it, ever Irving Berlin, who was on the set of filming, gave him a weird look or two)
c) I've gotta review that whole V/V thing... don't remember much about it
d) I tried noodling on the keyboard, and what I think I hear in the third phrase is IV ii7 IV ii7 (which is very similar to just plain ii7, since the IV is like ii7 without the root 2) but I don't know if that jives with the underlying theory
e) I had more thoughts, but I gotta run to class now... perhaps more later
