HELP with chords for a newbie pianist!
on: November 10, 2009, 01:38:43 AM
For my High School Graduation Project, I have decided to arrange a piece. Long story short, I need a lot of help figuring out what some of these chords are. I have attached the .pdf file of the piano chords I have so far. What are their names?

Looks like there is a lot of quartal and polytonal stuff happening here.

I'm wondering why you need to name them.  If you like the sound of them, just write as you have done and let the musicians play the notes.  Are you planning a section where musicians have to improvise over chord changes?

Yes, I need it for the improv section that follows. Plus, I need some idea as to what the names are to help with the guitar and bass chords.
