Reharmonisation working sheet: Amazing Grace

Below are two photos of the working sheets I wrote while working on Amazing Grace.  The first image shows the original chord sequence on top, followed by a reharmonised version using the rules.  The second image shows two more reharmonised versions of the same verse.  This is to show the diversity of the ruleset.  Note that this is different to the version of Amazing Grace I linked earlier - that was an early version.  This is a newer version I made.  There is yet no recording of this version, though one will be uploaded soon.

Rules used here include substitution rules (eg. Exchange major for minor, exchange minor vi for minor ii), including ii-V based rules where ii-V sequences have been implemented and substituted for their tritone counterparts.

This song was one of the harder songs to reharmonises as traditional substituting didn't work.  In some cases I struggled to make it sound smooth-jazzy enough using simple substitution, so you can see in the final reharmonisation during the second line a part where I implemented back cycling, going chromatically down in dominant seventh chords in order to reach my target chord of A7.  This clashes with the melody, but they can sound okay if played quickly and they are voiced properly.

Note this exists purely as evidence of ongoing work.
