Workbook pages 137 and 138.
II. Folk melody harmonization - Do both A & B
Analysis I. Brief Analysis - Do A only.
For those that did complete A. & B. on the top of page 137, here are the directions
Write the requested basic phrase progressions below. Begin by filling in the bass line as specified by the Roman numerals, then compose the SAT parts. Plan your setting to include some passing tones, neighboring tones, suspensions, retardations, and anticipations. When a chord is repeated, you may change the voicing of the upper three parts to incorporate consonant skips that may be filled in with passing tones. You may also include single consonant skips, but for this exercise do not use arpeggiation.
Label each embellishing tone in your setting, using the abbreviations described above. Strive for eighth-note motion in at least one part within each beat.
