Full Transcript

We explore one idea for harmonising a descending scale in the bass line. Many people find it easier to harmonise an ascending scale than a descending scale and most people find it easier to harmonise a scale at the top of the texture than at the bottom. In this case, we examine a neat and sequential way of harmonising a descending scale in the bass by alternating root position and first inversion chords. This also neatly avoids generating any parallels. These kind of structures are useful for composers working in any genre. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tQx7usrPlYbUe_JtLo4SLLbbCvLSzjrm/view?usp=sharing 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to alternating inversion chords when harmonizing a descending bass 1:08 - Voice leading 2:12 - Common mistakes 2:59 - Solution 6:22 - Alternative version 6:59 - Making it more interesting 10:37 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
