Harmonization

Harmonization

Caribbean Tune uses primary chords and one secondary (applied) dominant: V7/ii. Listen carefully to determine when these chords are heard in the audio track. You will then create an arrangement based on what you heard. 

Instructions:

  1. Listen to the audio file called "Real" and identify the chord changes.
    • Be sure to locate the V7/ii - ii cadence.
  2. Mark the chord changes on the "Rhythm Worksheet" at the start of the measure where they occur.
  3. 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?
  4. Choose a voicing style from the list below and write your harmonization on the "Melody Worksheet."
  5. Play your harmonized melody hands together..
