Reharmonisation Notes: Shepherd, by Bethel

This is a quick post detailing some work I did last night.  I didn't plan on doing this as a part of my portfolio but I was playing around on the piano and heard this song come on.  I decided to try and reharmonises it on the spot using my ruleset.  I was pleasantly surprised by the results. 

I haven't recorded any of this yet and I'm unsure if I want to record it, but by looking at the work sheet (or by trying to, I apologise for my messy notes, I didn't think I'd be posting it here when I began working on it) you can kind of get an idea of my reharmonisation techniques, and of how the ruleset works in practice. 

This was the first time I attempted to use back-cycling in a reharmonisation.  At first I thought it wouldn't work, but since I resolved on a strong melody note, it worked surprisingly well.( Jazz reharmonisation purists may disagree, but for the basic purposes of this project, it worked well!)

The original chord sequence can be found in its numeric form on the left hand side of the page.  The bottom section of the sequence represents the verses, and the right hand side represents the reharmonised chorus'.  There are less chorus' parts because I struggled with them more.  This was just an on the cuff reharm I did, and it exists purely as 1) evidence of work and 2) an example of the draught ruleset in practice.
