How could you go about turning it into a piece? In this music composition lesson we start with a melody in a minor key, then work out how best to harmonise it, considering various different ways of presenting the texture, in a more homophonic or more contrapuntal way, and how to go about turning it into a piece in multiple styles. If you would like to know how to harmonise a melody in a minor key, then how to work the results into an interesting texture then this music composition lesson is for you. Having worked out the most successful harmony, does it work best in block chords, or in broken chords, or in imitation? So many possibilities and this music composition lesson opens up a good range of options.\n
