139-Harmonic Sequences Pt.1
Melodic sequences occur frequently in music. They are often accompanied by harmonic sequences. Certain harmonic sequence patterns are constructed to preserve good voice leading without breaking the pattern. In this episode, we will focus on the descending circle of fifths sequence.
We are musicians, composers, engineers, teachers and students alike.
