For those who have the passion for music and would like to write a song that belongs to yourself, but do not have a clue how to do it, the following book is just right for you. My new book is now available!

This book provides the foundation knowledge of music theory for pop music composition.

In other words, this book includes the complete essence of music theory for pop music composition. The main concepts are presented, basically, in point form and written in both English ad Chinese, so that they can be easily read and clear to comprehend. The book consists of , mainly, two parts: (1) Melody Writing and (2) Music Arrangement. The first part includes the chord theory, diatonic and chromatic scales; explanation of tonal music and its key's center; intervals of notes and the technique to convert noises into music. The methods to create the melodic lines and express a song are also included. Part two describes the application of chords in chord progression and the use of musical punctuation for expression of musical phrases. Resolution of dissonant chords and the methods to change one tonal center to another are presented. The theory of harmony and the rules for four-part and counterpoint writings are explained. The string, woodwind, brass and percussion families and the uses of instruments for modern pop are also included.

本書旨在提供流行曲作曲所需要的基礎理論知識，使有意學習流行音樂創作的讀者更容易了解在作曲過程中應注意的理論部分(即由寫第一個音符開始至完成整編作品所需的理論概念，包括樂器應用)。換言之，本書包括全套流行音樂創作之理論精髓。其重點概念以點列、中英對照的形式陳述，務求讓讀者更易於理解及閱讀。該書主要包含兩個部分: (1) 旋律寫作及(2) 樂曲的編寫。 第一部分包括和弦理論、自然音階和半音音階的分析; 解釋何謂調性音樂及音程、不協和音的處理; 譜寫及表達優美旋律的方法。第二部分解釋如何運用和弦進行法來配合樂曲; 描述怎樣使用音樂標點法來表達樂句、不協調和弦的解決方法、轉調技巧、四聲部編寫; 還介紹弦樂、木管、銅管、敲擊樂及現代流行音樂所用的樂器及應用等。

經筋之歌

作曲﹕梁裔泓

最近獲「香港中華經筋醫學研究會」邀請寫一首歌，歌名為《經筋之歌》，以作為其會歌之用。本人很榮幸能邀請丘玉芯小姐演繹這歌，並拍成錄像，存放在本Blog上，歡迎各會員觀賞。

歌詞是由會長林友先生及會員周嘉儀小姐填寫。經配樂後，其歌詞如下:

經筋之歌，我要高唱。
他是一個世界，絡繹生命奧妙。
他擁有這世界，依然勤勞不懈。
他洋溢著溫柔，依然樸實動感。
他又承藏智慧和力量，讓人生健康亦精彩。
他散發生命力的光芒，維護人類健康成長。

經筋，經筋，健康根源﹔
經筋，經筋，弘揚國際。
唱出健康，讓生命更具意義﹔
促進人類健康是我的使命。

A Duet for Violin and Piano

For Melody is dedicated to a sweet little girl called Melody; a lively, animated, innovative and fanciful young lady. This work was composed for violin and piano. A non-conventional “ABC” form was used in this duet to depict the innovative character of Melody. In this work, mediant relationship (Keys C and E) was employed to describe the two different worlds of hers, reality and fantasy.
