Unintended Intro - iii-VI-ii-V Descending Four-Note Sequence
Here's an exercise sequence which utilizes a melodic cell of four notes (pentatonic minus one) per measure (except for the 4th & 8th bar, which uses four notes per chord), descending over, under, around and through a iii-VI-ii-V7 cadence.
It's basically a four bar sequence which repeats with rhythmic, melodic and directional variations the second time around.
The idea here is to maintain the integrity of the four note cell per measure / chord, while connecting the following measure / chord via a descending (mostly) whole or half step.
This results in the overall descending shape of the line.
