Harmonic Highlights
- The prominent Dbmaj7 (bIImaj7) introduces early modal ambiguity and a distinctive lyrical color, a characteristic modal interchange.
- Frequent G7sus-G7 resolutions and evaded root motion prevent strong dominant pull, contributing to the composition’s floating, open feel.
- The F#m7b5 - F#7b5 - Fmaj7 progression employs a sophisticated chromatic secondary dominant approach to F, specifically a tritone substitution (F#7b5 for C7).
- Intricate chromatic voice leading is evident in the descending bass line (F-E-D) culminating in D#° (vii°/Em) leading to Em7.
Improvisation Focus Chromaticism, utilizing altered tones and modal interchange scales.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced) - Requires navigating complex chromatic harmony and sophisticated voice leading while maintaining the lyrical intent.
