Harmonising in minor keys

Music theory, Harmonising, 12 minutes

The raised 7th, and the chords to leave out.

Minor-key care

In a minor key, V has the raised 7th, III is avoided (it is augmented), and the melody's raised 7th usually belongs to V (or VII7). Watch the augmented 2nd between the 6th and the raised 7th in any part.

The rest of this lesson and its 4 practice questions are in Brainlag Music Theory.
