Composition: Compose a 4-bar chord progression using the T-PD-D-T phrase model. Partwrite the progression in 4-voice keyboard style. Then, try out a few different accompaniment patterns to add rhythm to your progression.
Here are some models for reference:
Examples from the Repertoire (from the Anthology): Accompanimental Texture
Examples from the Reading (Hutchinson): Accompanimental Textures
Listen to each version of your progression and compare. What are the effects of the different patterns?
Once you've found a pattern you like, compose a melody to accompany your chord progression. Include at least 4 non-chord tones.
Your Turn: Based on the models above, come up with your own rhythmic accompaniment. Compose a progression and try it out.
