SYNOPSIS

use Music::ModalFunction ();

# What mode(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','d','maj','g','ionian','dominant','r_V'],
#  ['chord_key','d','maj','g','lydian','dominant','r_V']]

# In what mode(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','r_IV'],
#  ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','ionian','dominant','d','ionian','subdominant','r_IV'],
#  ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','ionian','dominant','d','mixolydian','subdominant','r_IV'],
#  ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','lydian','dominant','d','dorian','subdominant','r_IV'],
#  ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','lydian','dominant','d','ionian','subdominant','r_IV'],
#  ['pivot_chord_keys','g','maj','c','lydian','dominant','d','mixolydian','subdominant','r_IV']]

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/6 and one rule named pivot_chord_keys/10.

ATTRIBUTES

chord_note

chord

mode_note

mode

mode_function

mode_roman

key_note

key

key_function

key_roman

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(ChordNote, Chord, KeyNote, Key, KeyFunction, KeyRoman)

If defined, argument values will be bound to a variable. 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, ModeRoman, KeyNote, Key, KeyFunction, KeyRoman)

If defined, argument values will be bound to a variable. Otherwise an unbound variable is used.

roman_key

$q = $m->roman_key;

Ask the database a question about what Roman numeral functional chords share common keys.

Arguments:

roman_key(Mode, ModeRoman, Key, KeyRoman)

If defined, argument values will be bound to a variable. Otherwise an unbound variable is used.
