In this video we continue part-writing triads in open and close position* (in 4-part chorale style). In these examples, we'll part-write two chords in a row, moving from open to close position or visa versa. We'll also see an example in minor mode. Although the video refers to specific examples found in a standard harmony text, what is presented here may be applied universally. *Open position occurs when there is more than an octave between the soprano and tenor part; conversely, close position is when there is less between those two parts. Dr. Scott Watson teaches in the School of Music at Cairn University (Langhorne, PA).
