Reharmonization Techniques ❲WORKING❳

Keep the bass note constant while the chords change above it. Playing C, D/C, F/C, and G/C.

Replacing a IV (F) with a iv (Fm) or a bVII (Bb7). This adds a "darker" or more cinematic quality to a major-key melody. 5. Line Cliché and Constant Structure Reharmonization Techniques

Instead of changing the whole chord, keep the harmony static while moving a single inner voice chromatically (e.g., C — Cmaj7 — C7 — C6). Keep the bass note constant while the chords change above it

Moving the same chord shape (like a Minor 9th or a Quartal voicing) in parallel with the melody, regardless of the key signature. This creates a modern, "shifting" sound common in Impressionism and modern jazz. 6. The "ii-V" Expansion This adds a "darker" or more cinematic quality

The simplest form of reharmonization involves replacing a chord with another that shares a similar function and scale.

Since these chords share two or more notes, the melody usually still fits perfectly, but the "mood" of the stability changes. 2. Tritone Substitution
