32.105What has changed compared with our early reharmonization?
Early thinking:
melody note → find chord containing note.
Now:
melody note + bass line + desired color → design upper structure and voice leading.
That is a major shift.
You are no longer merely selecting chords.
You are designing vertical sonorities around independent voices.
