If you enjoy the series spread the word and buy any future DVD! ;)Genre: Documentary - Music TheoryTime: 48:19 (Ads removed)On: Channel 4 (UK)Directors: Francis Hanly, David JeffcockRelease Date: 2006Music is usually broken down into melody, rhythm and harmony. But what about the very lowest notes in music, that can have an impact on all three? In this film Howard looks at the abiding fascination musicians and composers have had with the bass.For half a millennium instrument makers have been trying to construct instruments of all shapes and sizes capable of thudding, sonorous low notes. Only with the arrival of the synthesizer did they succeed in producing a rival to the mighty organ. With disco, dance, and drum 'n' bass, the bass has arrived centre stage.But bass notes have another, crucial role. Far from just plodding away in the background, bass lines can have a critical effect on the whole structure of a piece of music, helping to drive the chord progressions.Howard looks at the dark horse of the musical family, and its use in the hands of such diverse musical talents as Johann (and Richard) Strauss, John Philip Sousa, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Albinoni, Bach and Motown's resident bass maestro, James Jamerson.

Jan 11, 2012 - UM this is wrong. The main note in a chord is not its tonic, it's its root. The lowest note in a chord is not its root, its the bass.

Apr 12, 2012 - Initially watching this video it appeared that bass was simple. In fact it seemed perfect for children with low confidence to be given the independent bass line to play. As it is an integral part of the music and seemed to be made of less notes and beats it seemed a perfect part on glockenspiel and bass drums to develop a child's confidence in their music capabilities.

Jun 14, 2011 - Seriously now... We all know that first instrument was designed by Dr Seuss. Oh and when playing your organ, you're bound to jerk your root around.
