Help with chord progression...

Hey,

I'm writing this piece (one of several) for a small theater show and I can't get the bloomin chords to work lol

Normally, I'd have the harmony before I wrote the pitches of the melody because... well because otherwise this happens... I write the melody and can't work out a progression to fit it properly :'(

Unfortunately, I was in a rush at the time, so I just scribbled out the melody.

It's meant to be "quirky" and happy.

I'm using 2009, so I've attached it as an .xml file. Just open it with finale and it should work as per normal.

If anyone can offer some suggestions, please do :-)

Thanks,

Chris

Be simpler and attach a PDF and mp3.

I've been off YC for a fair amount of time but I've decide to come back, atleast for a while.

I took a look at your chord progression, all in all it functions, however the character you are looking for is going to be derived through rhythmic interest and a more contrapuntal bass line. What I've attached is just a quick example of something that could work, it's by no means a working figure, and I only touched the first eight bars, but it should illustrate what I'm talking about.
