Final example, add STB to this alto voice,
to voice a root position F major chord with open structure.
Okay, so open structure, this is an F, so
it gives us one of the two roots that we need in this chord.
Why don't you, again, take a little bit of time and
try to give an answer to this, come back and check your work?
Well let's start, actually, I think I'll start with the bass first.
Actually, I'm going to do this.
[MUSIC]
And I've go that on the bass,
so maybe if I add,
[MUSIC]
The tenth above that, that's nice.
And then we get the sixth above that, [SOUND].
And we've got root, root and third, and we need the fifth, so
I just add the fifth above that, [SOUND].
And there you have it, it's an open structure F major chord.
As I said before, there are, I guess, a bunch of ways to do,
well, this one's a bit trickier.
Because actually, what I mean by that, this is a bit more limiting,
because we were given this F, and it's right in between the soprano and
the tenor, so it doesn't give us many choices.
I think this is the answer, this is, I think ,the only answer.
The only thing you can change,
[MUSIC]
Is to bring the bass up.
This would still be open structure, because the other voices are open,
although it would be, [SOUND] nicer this way, I think.
Okay, so that should give you an idea and some experience, of how to voice chords.
Let's move on now, to talking about basic harmonic progressions in classical music.
