If I Give My Heart To You - Brewster-Crane-Jacobs

[engelbach]

You're not butting in, Jer. I always find your musical ideas to be interesting and instructive.

"If I Give My Heart To You" is a straightforward 32-bar AABA tune written in 1953. One issue with it is its diatonic, scalar melody which doesn't lend itself to interesting harmonic motion. Because of this, I kept the harmony quite simple. Nonetheless, our charts are quite similar, including the use of the NC (which I learned from Jer's charts).

Thanks Keith.

I agree in principle. I'm just promiscuous with harmony ...

I especially like what you did with the inner voices on Dm>G7 and A13>A7.

Cheers,
Jer
