JasonMcGuire -> RE: Minera - my attempt (Nov. 16 2010 21:17:15)

My dear friend and teacher Pedro Cortes has added this to the discussion of Mineras.
"here are some of my thoughts on the minera subject. All students should know that pre Paco de lucia mineras had certain motifs that when you heard them it said to you this is a mineras,,,post paco that was lost and changed into a form that just had pretty melodies and even went into compas at the end of the piece(( if you wanted to )). I'l try to find motif examples and post them or send them to you.
Harmonic ideas ,,,,you need to have some knowledge of simple Harmonie to understand this. As you mentioned you can go to to GRANANIA KEY via E minor ,,,it being the relative minor to the major key. but this how I also look at it: use the 2, 3 ,6 ,chords and use those minor chords as hormonic minor and resolve them to there 5 mode. so we are in E Major so the 2 chord is F# would resolve to Db or C# 7b7,,,,so Db is a sister key use F# as the pedal transitional chord to modulate between keys. There are more ,,,you can use the E major or the D to modulate to granaina key,,it all depend on the melody you create to modulate between the keys.
The 3 chord is G# minor or Ab minor that would take you to Eb7add b9 or D#7 add b9 so you can use either the G# or C# or even BM7 or B7 to modulate to different keys. The art is in creating a proper melody or motif to connect your key changes."
I will pass on any further info from Pedro as I receive it.
