| Jan 25, 2019 at 21:55 | comment | added | 286642 | Thank you, @DeanRansevycz ! I've been thinking about your approach here. I definitely like the final result, but I have another question. Can any note be an anticipation of a note in the next chord? Why do we try to use common tones when we can just make any note we want a common tone? | |

Thanks, @286642. In answer to your questions: 1) Yes, i added chords in bars 1 & 2, just to help with part-writing. (It didn't work well: parallel 8ve between Sop & Ten!) 2) The progression is I V9 | IV V | vi7 | V7 3) The non-chord tones are added for interest & voice leading. The A in the V9 is an anticipation of the coming F maj harmony & the G in the vi7 is a suspension of the note from the previous chord. Hope this helps.

Regarding your example, though, I am not following along too well. 1) did you add in an extra chord? Why? 2) is the third chord a IV chord? 3) could you elaborate on chords 2 (containing notes BGAD) and 4 (containing notes AGCE)? Why include the non-chord tones? I would really appreciate it if you could elaborate on your great answer--thanks! | |
