Talk:Barbershop arranging

message: Oh dear. Someone has removed my content on barbershop arranging with a cut and paste job from the Official Barbershop Description. The point of this article was not to remind people of the barbershop style and all that involves, but to explain barbershop arranging. Would someone care to review this? I suggest changing it back again. The Official Description of Barbershop is unoriginal and can be found in very many places. It should better be on the Wikipedia Barbershop page rather than here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brequinda (talk • contribs) 03:06, 4 January 2006

It was I. There are aspects to the previous description that I thought were wrong or at least misleading. For instance,  "See that the harmonic progression follows the 'circle of fifths' " - the harmonic progression does not always do this, as reflected in BHS shortform description. Again, there was no previous reference to arrangements needing to be unaccompanied.  Faced with this I wondered whether to do some corrections - but it seemed to me that the shortform description had it all - it has after all been lovingly crafted by the BHS to be brief and all-encompassing. There seemed little point in having a new and less accurate/informative version.
Forgive me if I've breached etiquette - I did previously try to start a discussion (above) about other concerns I have about content accuracy, but no-one responded. It would be good to talk through some of the issues here - not just about this page but about the main bshop music page. I'll check back here to see any responses.

I got to tell you, the article needs some specifics (a lot of specifics) and a lot of musical examples. The short for does not in the least "... have it all." The article could be more than twice as long as it is. It should be. Gingermint (talk) 05:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

message: is decidedly not a barbershop chord. Barbershop harmony is first and foremost four-part close harmony; the chord shown has five notes, the root being doubled. Remove one of those C notes and you have a four-part dominant seventh - the quintessential barbershop chord. (Also: I'm not an expert on musical notation, but what is that backwards flat sign about?)

thread_title: That chord

message: I, European, came here to try and find out how to make those distinctive endings, which slide around the musical landscape (why would be less suitable a question, and could trigger wikiwars). Perhaps this fits with the talk discussions above.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.104.148.36 (talk) 22:13, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
