In this tutorial we look at the concept of "harmonic rhythm" - or the rate at which harmonies under a melody change - and apply it to creating chords to harmonize simple folk songs. Although the video refers to specific examples found in a standard harmony text, what is presented here may be applied universally. Dr. Scott Watson teaches in the School of Music at Cairn University (Langhorne, PA).
