Harmony / Transformations / Metamorphoses / Individual / No. 3




Metamorphosis 3 is usually presented closed, in the form common to both functions.
     The chord changes:
          - its direction;
          - its position in the series of fifths (2FRAMEs away);
          - the swing to which it belongs;
               (1 fifth away - with the metamorphosed chord in exterior position);
          - the notes which acts asOrbit 0(COMMON TONE) of both chord positions.
     There are 2 orbit exchanges here:
          - there is an exchange betweenOrbit 0andOrbit 2
               (the note which wasOrbit 0becomesOrbit 2and
               the note which wasOrbit 2becomesOrbit 0);
          - there is an exchange betweenOrbit 1andOrbit 3
               (the note which wasOrbit 1becomesOrbit 3and
               the note which wasOrbit 3becomesOrbit 1).
          In Metamorphosis 2, the Non-Chordal Tone ofOrbit 0was required on one of the chords
               to make it exactly like the other.
          In Metamorphosis 3, the Non-Chordal Tone ofOrbit 0is required on both chords
               to make them exactly the same.

We have here the following chords:
     C6,
     the complete Tetrad G7s2F6p+4- Metamorphosis 3 -
          with a Non-Chordal Tone ofOrbit 0on each chord,
               A on the chord of G7s2(which isOrbit 2of F6) in the Tenor, and
               B on the chord of F6p+4(which isOrbit 2of G7) in the Bass,
     C+7,
     the complete tetrad F6p+4G7s2- Metamorphosis 3 -
          with a Non-Chordal Tone ofOrbit 0on each chord, Tenor and Soprano.
The chords of Rest (on the Beat), C6and C+7, are presented as completeTetrads
     to differentiate them from each other.
This will be all the more evident when the chords areDominantized
