First of all, you give us an exercise with a harmony,which works but is basic. Then you show us your thinking process, guiding us by the hand as we progress on our musical experience journey. And then you knock it out of the ballpark (OK, OK, I grew up playing baseball) with a jazzy ending. One of your best videos ever. Since you set a very high bar, that is saying a lot.
Something buzzed in the back of my head about the style that the 4th harmonisation would naturally fit into. Then suddenly popped up images of Engelbert Humperdinck, black and white telly and monophonic vinyl records. 15:00 “now, if you want to soup it up even more …” - you've made my day! :)
Hi, I've watch every single video of yours, very love the way you introduce me back to the classical music period, I've improved a lot since then. A very big concept of your is how to write 4 part harmony, so if then, I knew how to do it, can you please teach me how to write for orchestra? More specific is how to write for each instrument and how to create modulation please?
On your second example, at 8:48, would it be better to move the bass from the A in your Am7 up to a C and then D, finishing the line with a second inversion for G?
I don’t think you would particularly want to end on a second inversion chord but Am7 in first inversion with C in the bass is certainly another possibility.
That was really interesting. I'd never thought about shifting harmony on the third beat. It does work really well. For some reason, the final example reminds me of a Christmas song, but I can't pin down which one.

You’re very kind
Another good lecture. Three versions at home in the Baroque, then a jazzy one.
😀
That last harmonisation is to my taste. Personally I would add an 9th to that final G major chord but I absolutely love that progression! Great video!
Great stuff
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks!
Many thanks for your support

Thank you 🎶
A pleasure.
Coffee for you thank you

Great!!

Not quite clear on the 7-6 suspension on version 4. Could you tell us the beats on which PS&R fall please? V.4 really interesting stuff. Many thanks
P occurs on the last beat of bar 1 - that’s D. Then S comes on the first beat of bar 2 (D), then R on beat 2 (C).
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you Gareth

I do not understand some of what you are discussing. However, I love the thought process. Love the music theory.
That’s good. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
