What are the names of these piano chords?

Q. I have this really cool chord progression! It goes like this:

First Chord: Eb/Ab/Bb
Second: Eb/A/Bb
Thrid: Eb/F/Bb
Fourth:Eb/Bb
If anyone knows this, please let me know! I want to put it to something.

A. You really can't apply normal names to these chords. What you're doing here is something called "quartal" harmony, which means that your chords are built in 4ths. Most Western music utilizes "tertial" harmony, where chords are built in 3rds. All the names for the chords we use are based on tertial harmony. They don't apply to quartal stuff.

You CAN give them names, but it's missing the point. Several composers have made liberal use of quartal harmony, but it's difficult to analyze. It's just one of those sounds that doesn't have really solid names yet.

Original Question

Which piano chords can I use with a B flat major scale melody?
Q. I am writing a melody using the B flat major scale (B flat, C, D, E flat, F, G, A). Which piano chords can I use to accompany the melody?

Thanks in advance.

A. Just use the I, IV, V & V7 chords together if in doubt.

These chords are:
I (Bb), IV ( Eb ), V (F), V7 (F7) - - - [ F,A,C, and added Eb]

------------ ------------- -------------- ------------- --------------

I hope this helps you out.

Original Question

What is the piano chord for "Scheherazade" by Panda Bear?
Q. In the song "Scheherazade" by Panda Bear, the backing music is just one simple piano chord. Does anyone know what it is, and if so, what keys do I play for the chord?

A. I disagree with the other answerer. I think he is playing the 3, so it's a Db9 chord, with Db in the left hand and F Ab Cb Eb in the right. Try both and see which you think is right.
