Table of contents:
Chapter 1: Simple Substitution
Substituting chords with others in the same harmonic family is a good way to vary folk and easy pop tunes while maintaining the color of the original tune.
Chapter 2: Diatonic Approach
Reharmonizing with chords from a single key creates a harmonic change that is appropriate in most standard jazz and pop contexts.
Chapter 3: Tritone Substitution, Extended Dominant Seventh Chords, and Extended II-V7 Patterns
Adding dominant and subdominant chords or their substitutions-to musical phrases creates a sophisticated harmonic sound commonly heard in mainstream jazz.
Chapter 4: Displacement
Relocating important cadential points in a phrase creates open space that can then be filled with new chords. Displacement may be used in both pop and mainstream jazz.
Chapter 5: Modal Interchange
Chords borrowed from common minor keys “darken” the harmonic color of phrases. This technique works well in pop and mainstream jazz styles.
Chapter 6: Reharmonization Using Bass Lines
Writing a counterline in the bass can reveal many new harmonic possibilities.
Chapter 7: Correction of Faulty Chord Symbols
Using clear chord symbols ensures that your harmonic ideas will be interpreted correctly.
Chapter 8: Turnarounds
Reharmonizing with short cadences at the ends of phrases can lead the listener to the next phrase in unexpected ways.
Chapter 9: Extended Endings and Modulatory Interludes
Adding interludes or extended endings breathes life into old song arrangements and works in almost any musical context.
Chapter 10: Basic Piano Voicing Techniques
Knowing basic piano voicings will help you compose effective orchestrations of reharmonized melodies.
Chapter 11: Line Clichés
Stepwise bass lines that move against a single stationary chord may be used to reharmonize diatonic melodic phrases.
Chapter 12: Diminished Seventh Chords
Transforming the diminished seventh chords to dominant seventh chords found in classic standard tunes creates a more modern sound.
Chapter 13: Modal Reharmonization
Modal reharmonization produces a more dramatic textural change that works well with folk, film music, and jazz.
Chapter 14: Hybrid Chord Voicings
Deliberately ambiguous and mildly dissonant, hybrid chord voicings are often used in contexts where “impressionistic sounds are effective: film music, contemporary jazz, and more adventurous pop.
Chapter 15: Constant Structure Patterns
Sequences of identical-quality chords emphasize texture and root motion at the expense of clear-cut tonality. These constant structure patterns are well-suited to recent pop, jazz, and film styles.
Chapter 16: Combining Modal Patterns, Hybrid Chord Voicings, and Constant Structures
Combine the concepts in chapters 13-15 to create a more complex reharmonization, which will work best in modern music.
