Discover how to harmonise a fast moving melody with chords. The temptation is to harmonise every note, resulting in a harmonic rhythm that moves too quickly. We explore how to determine which notes are harmony notes / chord tones and which are inessential notes / non-chord tones. We examine one fast moving melody and consider how to harmonise every note, how to delivery the melody with a slow moving harmonic rhythm, and how to discover a sensible middle ground.
