5 Reharms of Rainy Day
Hi Folks,
Below are five reharmonizations of Here's That Rainy Day,
beginning with my version; then thestandard lead sheet; and then
four other versions, each becoming gradually more complex than
itspredecessor. The last four versions are analyzed with Roman
Numerals for syntax and function within
each progression. These are not offered as paradigms of musical
art, but rather as an introduction tovarious standard harmonic
styles. After studying these, go back and analyze my version at
thebeginning yourself, should you be so motivated.
Feel free to make comments & ask questions.
Best,Ed Byrne
Re: Six Reharmonizations of
Thanks so much for posting this, Ed. Did you record this? (If
not, would you recommend a particular
recording or two for listening - Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Oscar
Peterson, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker?)

Re: Six Reharmonizations of
I have not recorded this, and I did this study as an exercize in
reharmonization. There are many
recordings of this tune by a variety of artists, but you're
search would be as good as mine.

Re: Six Reharmonizations of "Here's That Rainy Day"
Hi Ed:
Very interesting treatments here ..
the only thing I found a bit jarring was on the bossa lead sheet
version (1.pdf) is on beat 2 of the
second bar ( where the melody note is Eb ) you indicate an E75b
..did you mean an E MA7 5b ??
