Interesting chord progression for analysis

Recommended Posts

Can anybody suggest me some melodies whit interesting chord progressions, pls?

If you're looking for classical, I suggest you take a look at Mozart's 12 variations on "Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman?", K265. The melody is simple, yet some of the variations are beautiful (to me anyway). Especially variations 10, 11 and the 8th in minor has very interesting harmonies.

What's fascinating is that all of this is derived from a very simple tune...

It depends on exactly what you mean by 'interesting'. If you want simple and easy to understand (and analyse) harmony, then try Mozart of Vivaldi, then you could move onto Bach, whose harmony is slightly more sophisticated, and will take more thought to follow, but is still all analysable. The book of 371 Chorale Harmonisations by Bach is a great investment for any student of Harmony, I learnt a hell of a lot from analysing some of them.

Good luck :)

Thank you!

I found a band too The Shadows, they have a simple orchestration chords,lead,bass,percussion but all of their melodies are unique and pretty nice.

I'll start whit Mozart and Vivaldi too and John Adams' Harmonium. And see what else I can get my paws on. :)
