December 15, 201213 yr First of all, I don't know if this title "non-repeated chords" is the best way to express this challenge (or to express myself in English :P). Here's the thing: you must write a composition that NEVER repeats the same chord. Notice that the chords should be sufficiently perceptible in the music. For that, you must IDENTIFY the chords on the score (like Bb, F#/A, G9...). Also: - Inversion of the chords are considered diferent chords (C, C/E, C/G = three different chords). - Enharmonic chords are considered the SAME chord (F# = Gb). - The more chords, the best! Try to put as many as you can to enrich your composition^^ - There's no more specification, like instruments or duration, feel free. Deadline: December 28st (two weeks). I'll probably pick a winner :D
December 15, 201213 yr Author Although they have the same function, they should be treated as different chords here. You may use all of them for this.
December 15, 201213 yr Author - The inversions of the chords are given by the bass. So CGEE and CECG are the "same" chord. - If you're "on a chord", you may explore it with repetitions before going toa new one (although this is not exactly the main goal...). Once you move on, you can't come back to that chord. - The rule for melody is the same: if you've stated a chord before, it can't be repeated again, nor in melody neither in accompaniment.
December 15, 201213 yr I like this challenge, and when I have time I might compete. DV just found the legal loophole for those who want to take a 'tonal' (as in functional harmony) approach ;) for which I am grateful
December 17, 201213 yr Even though this does not follow the prescription 100% it does use a lot of different harmonies at a short time and I thought it would be fun to share. Can anyone figure out what's going on in the melody? :hmmm:

December 28, 201213 yr Author Alexander, I liked it. I just missed what I've required: identifying each chord. But ok, you're the only one who really composed something for it.
December 28, 201213 yr Author The deadline is supposted to be today (28th). But if you want to join, go ahead^^
December 28, 201213 yr Here is the analysis of the chords. I used a Sibelius plugin to identify them. Harp Prelude - Full Score.pdf
