SYNOPSIS
use Music::ModalFunction ();
# What key(s) have a Dmaj dominant chord?
my $m = Music::ModalFunction->new(
chord_note => 'd',
chord => 'maj',
key_function => 'dominant',
);
my $q = $m->chord_key;
# [['chord_key','g','ionian','d','maj','dominant'],
# ['chord_key','g','lydian','d','maj','dominant']]
# In what key(s) can a Gmaj chord function as a subdominant pivot chord?
$m = Music::ModalFunction->new(
chord_note => 'g',
chord => 'maj',
mode_note => 'c',
key_function => 'subdominant',
);
$q = $m->pivot_chord_keys;
# [['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','ionian','dominant','d','dorian','subdominant' ],
# ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','ionian','dominant','d','ionian','subdominant' ],
# ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','ionian','dominant','d','mixolydian','subdominant' ],

DESCRIPTION
Music::ModalFunction
allows querying of a musical database of Prolog facts and rules that bind notes, chords, modes, keys and diatonic functionality.
* Currently there is a database of facts called chord_key/5
and one rule named pivot_chord_keys/8
.
ATTRIBUTES
chord_note
chord
mode_note
mode
mode_function
key_note
key
key_function
verbose
METHODS
new
$m = Music::ModalFunction->new(%args);
Create a new Music::ModalFunction
object.
chord_key
$q = $m->chord_key;
Ask the database a question about what chords are in what keys.
Arguments:
chord_key(ModeNote, Mode, ChordNote, Chord, KeyFunction)
If defined, the argument in that position will be bound to that value (e.g. '_'
even). Otherwise an unbound variable is used.
pivot_chord_keys
$q = $m->pivot_chord_keys;
Ask the database a question about what chords share common keys.
Arguments:
pivot_chord_keys(ChordNote, Chord, ModeNote, Mode, ModeFunction, KeyNote, Key, KeyFunction)
If defined, the argument in that position will be bound to that value (e.g. '_'
even). Otherwise an unbound variable is used.
