Modal and Pentatonic Motives in the Music of HIM

Tinajero Perez, Andrea

Abstract Details

2022, Master of Music (MM), Ohio University, Music Theory (Fine Arts).
This study is focused on the music of HIM, a Finnish band formed in the early 1990’s. Harmonic, melodic, and contrapuntal features in some of HIM’s songs has been studied with two different analytical lenses. First, functional harmony in HIM’s riffs has been examined based on the work of Nicole Biamonte, Guy Capuzzo, and Christopher Doll. Analysis of harmonic function obscures melodic and contrapuntal features that shape and create structure in the music of HIM. Alternate analytical approaches by Ciro Scotto, Drew Nobile, Aaron Van Valkenburg, and John Clough have been studied to observe these linear characteristics in the music of HIM.
