Below is a version of Amazing Grace I reharmonised using the ruleset. As with most reharmonised parts I delve into more complex harmonic territory the more times it repeats. The final version of it sounds most "out there" but it shows the depth of the ruleset.
Rules used for this include:
All rules used under the "chord extension" subheading.
Chord substitution rules 1,2,3 and 6.
Rules 1 & 2 of the ii-V section.
All three tritone substitution based rules.
The result for this one was mixed. Some parts worked, others didn't. I struggled to reharmonise this song as easily as some of the others. Perhaps it was due to the homophonic melody, or the fact that almost every on-beat note of the hymn is a tonic chord tone. Regardless, here are the results: Whether or not it was successful is up to the listener.
