Organize these voices as: Two with Right hand and two with LeB hand. A good way to think and hear these voices is as follows: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (from high to low)
- Each one of these 4 voices has a specific funcKon:
Soprano – Melody of the song Alto – 3rd or 7th of the chord* Tenor – 7th or 3rd of the chord* Bass – root of the chord
* When the Tenor plays the 7th of the chord then automaKcally the Alto plays the 3rd and vice versa. Rule 2:
- Use the best possible voice leading:
Whenever the harmony moves by a 5th down (the circle of fi=hs), the 3rd of the Alto goes to 7th) (and vice versa) and the 7th of the Tenor goes to 3rd (and vice versa).
