69.98The deeper arranging lesson
We now have four different things that people casually call “changing the harmony”:
- actual chord/function change
- new bass under same upper material
- new color/extension within same function
- new voicing/texture around the same harmony
They are not the same.
A sophisticated arranger knows which one is actually needed.
