Clicheed TV music interval of a Perfect 4th

As I was creating a lesson for today's students-- as an add-on to the routine-- I played with going up the keyboard in Perfect 4ths... and voila! I discovered a common "theme" used in TV dramas-- the serial Perfect 4th. Amazing. Play the mp3 below and see if it doesn't sound familiar.

Interestingly, to run that series requires you know the key signature of each note, as if it were the tonic of that scale, as you go up. Either that, or you have to be good at seeing 5 half tones each time-- which is tricky. It's much easier to see the interval from the point of view of the scale.



In that same line of thought, it occurred to me to google 'dramatic tv music' and sure enough there are soundtracks of dramatic for sale. Here's the search.

Here are some videos I sampled this morning (and others that I did not listen to yet but will soon)that you can follow me out on. We'll try producing something like these in upcoming lessons, in an improvised fashion. Note how there IS a musical standard to hold to. We're not simply dealing with sound effects, although there is a good use of synthesized as well as familiar instruments.
