Intonation Chorales
Now it's time to put all our newly acquired knowledge into practice with some musical excerpts. Feel free to pick any voicing for your instrument. Remember to use your ear to hear the "beats" or "pulses" and adjust accordingly with embouchure, voicings, and alternate fingerings.
You are welcome to play any part below, but for ideal voicings of the chorales, you can use the list to the right to play these chord progressions with three other musicians. Play-along tracks are to the right. |
