Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Harmonized in 4 Different Styles - Music Composition

video description

Rating: 3.3; Vote: 3

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star harmonized in four different styles, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century. In the first style the melody is presented as a Cantus Firmus in Baroque style with two lower parts added below using Baroque figuration. The second presentation comes in Classical style featuring a simple texture and harmonic structure using typical Classical period features such as Alberti Bass, turns and appoggiaturas. A full-blooded Romantic version follows employing much chromatic harmony and thick piano texture. To finish is a version in Cool Swing style making plenty of use of extended chords along with melodic decoration and tritone substitution. Useful for composers, arrangers, and for those wanting to gain insight into these different musical styles

Very insightful. Is it possible to explain the same thing for other styles such as pop, rock, heavy metal, electronic, blues, jazz, etc? Any modern genre that you understand?
Any explanation and visual example would be immensely valuable. As much as I love a lot of these styles, I would prefer to understand how to transform from one genre to the next in more modern styles. I have no money to pay to anyone to learn or I would have already sought that route. I tried a free video instruction - but he focused more on my horrible disfigurement than he did on any instruction of musical nature.

Delightful video! I still remember a class assignment from 1st year harmony at university. We had to reset a four bar example in six different styles: Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and two more (that I can't recall. It was a lot of fun.

Your romantic version is very intense! I'll go back to it to understand all the subtleties. All is very instructive and well explained as usual!
