  1. Thank you for replying Tokkemon and I'm sorry for not writing my question more clearly. I'm looking in particular for a melody, where the underlying harmony does not start on the tonic. The melody note may start anywhere.
  2. Hello. Can anyone name some heroic, powerful, inspiring melodies, where the corrisponding harmony does not start on the tonic? Some examples would be Gustav Holst's theme from Jupiter, which starts on the subdominant, and Tchaikovsky Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, which starts on the dominant. Thank you in advance.
  3. Thank you Tokkemon and Siwi. I am going to start studying To God Be the Glory, Great os Thy Faithfulness (which were both very good), and try to find some Bach chorale works that I like.
  4. Hello. I'm looking for any Hymns in 3/4 time signature? Something along the lines of Hubert Parry's "Jerusalem." I'm just finishing a composition, for voice and piano, and I have the melody and the structure, but I need to spice up the piano, so I'm looking for ideas. Nothing too loud, as the melody is fairly complex, so I feel I need a simpler piano harmony, in order to achieve good balance. Also, national anthems would work equally as well. A 3/4 example would be, "Jeszcze Polska nie Zginęła." If you want to make my life even easier, your welcome to explain how you would go about writing a piano section in this format.Thanks in advance.
  5. Thank you Tokkemon, Aniolel and Composer Phil for your responses. I have been trying to modulate, but it never sounded right to me, because I think Composer Phil was correct. I added a fifth section, after the dominant and I feel it has reopened the door on my composition. Thank you.
  6. Hello. I am working on a composition and I want to start it with an A, B, A structure. The first A section is harmonically structured in four parts. The first part is I, vi, IV, V. The second part is I, vi, V, I. The third part is ii, V, I, IV. The fourth part is ii, V, IV, V. I want to create the B section now and have that section in two parts, both starting on the same chord and keeping relatively the same feel of the A section, but slightly less pronouced. The fourth part of the A section dictates, I should start the B section on I, or maybe iv, but neither sound right to me, and both are too strong. Does anyone have an opinion on what the structure for my B section should be? Thank you
