how to harmonise a melody like a romantic composer

Funnily enough, I thought the melody as being on C minor, so I thought: V - V/iv - V/VII - VII - N6 - V7- i.

After all NCT and variations added, the progression remains functional. It does not become less functional. For some reason, everybody uses the term "functional" as some kind of curse word. Without "functional" this progression would fall apart. It takes decades to internalize tonal-harmonic function.

beautiful!

Dope!

Thank you for providing such well-laid out and clear examples of harmonic possibilities. I liked the point made about not necessarily using everything!

Great vid! I'm guessing you had some real proper music education, however if I could just ask: do you have any tips for learning music by oneself? I'm super thrilled about learning it but school might not really be an option for me as I already have attended colleges and universities for a few too many years. Any tips on books, websites or methods would be super appreciated. Btw I'm telling everyone about your channel :-)

Wanting to learn this style of orchestration. Any recommendations on literature I can read?

jazz

the most MOST important thing in music, in my opinion, is narrative and context. There is space for every sound and ambient in music, given the narrative and context. Rationalization of compositional tools and processes, also subjective descriptors, gain more meaning and becomes more useful when associated with narrative and context.

Yoo could you do some kapustin, maybe his 4th concerto

Do these texts used for these melodies include fully formed realisations in the book? I noticed there are quite a few volumes of this series of book, where to start?

Thanks

Where can I find this collection of given melodies?

You played the first chord wrong in the last example. You played a C in the viola instead of the Db you notated, giving us a V42/ii instead of vii°43/ii. Argh.

Short, concise, practical and well explained. Perfect.

Arhhh, harmony and counterpoint. My arch nemesis.

THAT ITALIAN 6TH god it sounds so beautiful

Very well explained. More please!

Thank you Sir.
It is wonderful to continue learning.

This video teaches me nothing. Maybe i thought it is for a beginner. I am totally wrong then.

That was awesome! Please make more videos like that. :)

you. didnt. resolve,

This is a great exercise for me: please more of these ❤

Great lesson! Please, keep going😊

Very nice!

I don't understand anything of this but the first thing already sounded very nice!

Great video, more from the romantic era please!

nah but after this trugschluss i need the 4 5 1

I think one of the best impact was adding non harmony notes to bring more movement and spice to the inner lines ; will you be making more videos about that aspect ?

Armonice eso pero en do menor. Ya que Mi bemol mayor sentía que no le queda. Pero es mi opinión. Kas posibilidades de componer esa base son muchas.

first version: trash simple harmonization; great resolved ending :(
last version: complex good harmonization; trash deceptive unresolved ending :(

Is there a wrong note in the audio for the first chord of the viola part in the final harmonization? The chord sounds like a V42 of ii instead of a viiº43, with a C in the viola instead of a Db.

Sometimes, simple things sound more beautiful.

great video

The additions to the original harmonisation move the music into more adventurous areas and that's fine, but the true talent of any composer in any age Western European music is to understand the value of simplicity and to sense when that's the appropriate choice. Some of the profoundest and most memorable passages of music, from Palestrina through Bach, Haydn, Brahms, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Copeland to Britten, Shostakovich, Ligeti, Glass and others "hit the mark" through simplicity, directness and transparency.

The italian chord broke my hearth.

Good video 👍 finally someone who knows what's talking about

It would be cool for the Cello's B natural in bar 4 to come a beat earlier!

Fantastic. Very well done, very clear and to the point. God job!!!

What is this piece?

earned a sub

In the recording it sounds like you play a V42/ii (C/Bb) instead of the diminished chord written in the music and fig. bass, but I think it sounds better that way anyways.

Hello fellow composer! Nice video!

What’s the piece from this video?

I wouldn't have used the C minor chord on beat 3 in the 2nd bar, it kind of spoils the surprise of the deceptive cadence at the end

The second violin part is tasteful!!!
