We&#8217;re starting out with a thorough explanation of the drop-2 voicing before proceeding to learning how it can be derived.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Is The Voicing?&#8221;<\/em><em><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The concept of voicing in music is concerned with the consideration of the notes of a chord as a voices or voice parts. If you&#8217;ve been around the choir for sometime now, you must have heard of these voice parts: bass, tenor, alto, and soprano.<\/p>\n<p>The notes of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be considered as the following voices&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>bass<\/strong> voice or fourth voice.<\/p>\n<p>E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>tenor<\/strong> voice or third voice.<\/p>\n<p>G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>alto <\/strong>voice or second voice.<\/p>\n<p>B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the <strong>soprano<\/strong> voice or first voice.<\/p>\n<h2>The Drop-2 Voicing Concept &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>In the drop-2 voicing, the second voice or the alto voice of the chord is transposed by an octave. The octave transposition of the alto voice in a chord produces its drop-2 voicing.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,E,G,B,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the second voice (aka &#8211; &#8220;the alto voice&#8221;) is the G note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,G,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe octave transposition of G (the alto voice) from its position:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,G,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to a lower octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the drop-2 voicing of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,C,E,B,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing any other chord in a way that the alto voice is an octave lower than its position, produces the drop-2 voicing.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Derive The Drop-2 Voicing Of A Chord<\/h2>\n<p>The drop-2 voicing of any triad or seventh chord can be determined in 3 seconds or less and here&#8217;s a breakdown of how the three seconds can be invested:<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;In The First Second&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>You should be looking out for the alto voice of the chord. Irrespective of the inversion of the chord played, the alto voice remains the second to the highest-sounding pitch in the chord.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the (second inversion of the) D major seventh chord below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,D,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;has D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the second to the highest-sounding pitch in the chord. Therefore, D is the alto voice:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;of the third inversion of the D major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,D,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nRemember, this shouldn&#8217;t take more than a second. As soon as you can visualize the chord, you can spot the alto voice.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;In The Second Second&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>At this point, you should be transferring the alto voice from its position to a lower octave and this is easy if you&#8217;ve mastered the art of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/who-else-wants-to-learn-the-octave-transposition-technique\">octave transposition<\/a>. In the case of the D major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,D,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the alto voice (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be transposed to a lower D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTechnically, what happens here is that the alto voice is transferred from the right hand to the left hand. So, the octave transposition of the alto voice <em>technically <\/em>transfers the alto voice from the right hand to the left hand.<\/p>\n<h3><em>In The Third Second&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where to put every piece of the puzzle together to produce the main picture.\u00a0 The alto voice, which was transposed to the left hand and a lower octave as well and the rest of the voices are played together to produce the drop-2 voicing.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the D major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,D,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the transposed alto voice is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the rest of the voices are A, C#, and F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, we have the drop-2 voicing of the (second inversion of the) D major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,A,Cs,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Using the 3-second process to the formation of the drop-2 voicing, so many musicians in the past have effortlessly played the drop-2 voicing of any chord and you are no exception.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m doubly sure that you&#8217;ll also be able to do this as easy as it is.<\/p>\n<p>Keep up the great work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this lesson, I&#8217;ll be showing you step-by-step how to derive the drop-2 voicing of any given chord.
