摘要

本文探讨了比利·乔尔在其沉思歌曲中的半音偏移,其中许多歌曲在流行的主要背景下注入了模态混合半音主义。特别是,我重点介绍了乔尔对“本质双重性”的探索,在这种探索中,色彩主义通过本质转换反映了人性的复杂性。第1部分探讨了“诚实”中的强化主义,这是几个分析B中的第一个♭ 重新诠释混合音阶度的主要歌曲(“.fn_flat('').fn_scaledelection(3).”和“.fn_flat('').fn_scaledesection(6).”);我还考虑了乔尔如何在他的开场低音线中引入混合音。第二部分探讨了复杂歌曲《劳拉》中的和声和功能模糊性。第三部分通过开场酒吧的增强三和弦来思考《维也纳》的和声复杂性;我还考虑了《桑给巴尔》和《管弦乐队在哪里》中增强三合会的比较例子。为了回应乔尔对大众实践经典的广泛接触,我的方法将19世纪音乐的视角与当代流行/摇滚和谐理论融合在一起。

Billy Joel’s Enharmonic Duplicity
This article investigates Billy Joel’s chromatic excursions in his contemplative songs, many of which infuse modal mixture chromaticism against a prevailing major key backdrop. In particular, I spotlight Joel’s exploration of “enharmonic duplicity,” in which chromaticism reflects the complexity of human nature through enharmonic transformations. Part 1 explores enharmonicism in “Honesty,” the first of several analyzed B♭ major songs that reinterpret mixture scale degrees (".fn_flat('').fn_scaledegree(3)." and ".fn_flat('').fn_scaledegree(6).") along its route; I also consider how Joel introduces mixture in his opening descending bass lines. Part 2 explores the harmonic and functional ambiguity in the complex song, “Laura.” Part 3 considers the enharmonic complexities of “Vienna” through the lens of the opening bar’s augmented triad; I also consider comparative examples of augmented triads in “Zanzibar” and “Where’s the Orchestra?”. In response to Joel’s vast exposure to the common-practice canon, my approach fuses perspectives from nineteenth-century music with contemporary theories of pop/rock harmony.
