| Feb 18, 2020 at 20:45 | comment | added | Tim | @microtherion - a lot of the harmonies are only changing subtly - it's not like all the notes change from one to the next. That's the idea - one or two notes move, the others stay static. I see (and hear) nothing amiss as there are gentle changes most of the way through. Looking forward to your version. | |
| Feb 18, 2020 at 20:36 | comment | added | jdjazz | @microtherion, I would normally agree with you, but you'll notice from the recording that I've got the tempo at ~45-50 bpm. For a song that slow (and for a vocal arrangement), I don't think the measures with 4 chords sound too busy. They really just harmonize the melody, as we might expect in a vocal arrangement. | |
| Feb 18, 2020 at 19:54 | comment | added | microtherion | Can't really comment on the harmonic ideas here, but something that bothers me about both your arrangement and the one posted by @jdjazz is that they are way too busy in my opinion. More than 2 chords in a measure might be appropriate maybe 1-2x per song, but it seems to me that this is overused in both arrangements. | |

| Feb 16, 2020 at 15:40 | comment | added | myzinsky | @Tim: No it is not my homework, I have to play the song in some days and I needed just some inspiration. Many thanks for this idea. I will now study it in order to understand your approach. | |

| Feb 16, 2020 at 13:03 | comment | added | Tim | @AlbrechtHügli - I prefer Ebo as it provides a chromatic bassline in that 1st bar of E, Eb, D, Db. No great reason to actually start on root F ! This is jazz... | |
| Feb 16, 2020 at 12:39 | comment | added | Albrecht Hügli | Eb dim7 would be F# dim 7 (vii dim 7/ ii) . I agree this harmonization will make it jazzier. The main weight will be depending on the style of a cool performance. Btw. I don’t think this is a homework. I’m rather thinking of a youth group or church choir. | |
