Oh Mary, Don't You Weep | In this activity, you will listen carefully to determine when the tonic (i), subdominant (iv), and dominant (V) chords are heard in the audio track. You will then create an arrangement based on what you heard.
Watch the video "Harmonizing a Melody with Primary Triads." Then, follow the instructions to harmonize this tune.
Instructions:
- Listen to the "Real" track and identify the chord changes.
- Mark the chord changes on the "Rhythm Worksheet" at the start of the measure where they occur.
- Use the "Melody" track to check your choices by playing the root note of the chord you think matches. Do your choices "agree" with the melody?
- Choose one of the recommended voicings below and write your harmonization on the "Melody Worksheet."
- Play your harmonized melody hands together.
