An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A chord chart (or chart) is a form of musical notation that describes the basic harmonic and rhythmic information for a song or tune. It is the most common form of notation used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music. It is intended primarily for a rhythm section (usually consisting of piano, guitar, drums and bass). In these genres the musicians are expected to be able to improvise the individual notes used for the chords (the "voicing") and the appropriate ornamentation, counter melody or bassline.

  • A chord chart (or chart) is a form of musical notation that describes the basic harmonic and rhythmic information for a song or tune. It is the most common form of notation used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music. It is intended primarily for a rhythm section (usually consisting of piano, guitar, drums and bass). In these genres the musicians are expected to be able to improvise the individual notes used for the chords (the "voicing") and the appropriate ornamentation, counter melody or bassline. In some chord charts, the harmony is given as a series of chord symbols above a traditional musical staff. The rhythmic information can be very specific and written using a form of traditional notation, sometimes called rhythmic notation, or it can be completely unspecified using slash notation, allowing the musician to fill the bar with chords or fills any way they see fit (called comping). In the key is left unspecified on the chart by substituting numbers for chord names. This facilitates on-the-spot key changes to songs. Chord charts may also include explicit parts written in modern music notation (such as a musical riff that the song is dependent on for character), lyrics or lyric fragments, and various other information to help the musician compose and play their part.

  • Une grille harmonique (ou grille d'accords) est une forme de notation musicale qui donne des informations harmoniques et rythmiques structurelles sur un morceau. Cette notation est utilisée par les musiciens de jazz, les musiciens de studio et les accompagnateurs pour jouer du jazz ou des musiques actuelles. La grille fournit un cadre aux musiciens qui leur permet de disposer d'une référence commune pour improviser sur la basse et les accords de la grille, que ce soit sous la forme d'un accompagnement, d'un solo ou d'une contre-mélodie, en y incluant les ornements choisis. La grille harmonique peut être formulée explicitement sous la forme d'une succession de cases, ou sous la forme d'une portée. Elle permet de disposer d'une représentation écrite (ou mentale une fois la structure assimilée) très synthétique, et tout à fait adaptée à l'improvisation musicale car limitant la précision de l'information et limitant ainsi les contraintes d'utilisation. Bien que très utile, cette formulation ne permet pas de remplacer une connaissance approfondie d'une mélodie et de ses composantes harmoniques. (fr)
