Many people find it easier to harmonise an ascending scale than a descending scale and most people find it easier to harmonise a scale at the top of the texture than at the bottom. In this case, we examine a neat and sequential way of harmonising a descending scale in the bass by alternating root position and first inversion chords. This also neatly avoids generating any parallels. These kind of structures are useful for composers working in any genre.
