How to harmonize a chorale melody in the style of J.S. Bach? | BWV 281 | Demonstration & Analysis | music theory
Today, I will demonstrate step by step how to harmonize a chorale melody in the style of J.S. Bach. After that, I will also analyse Bach's harmonization of the same tune taken from R.6 Albert Riemenschneider edition, "Christus, der ist mein Leben" which means "Christ is my Life".
Time Codes:
0:00 Intro
0:26 Step 1 Confirm the key, hum, or sing the melody with solfege.
0:46 Step 2 Tackle one phrase at a time. Write the Roman Numerals and the bass notes.
