Reharmonisation recording - "Shepherd" by Bethel

I posted weeks ago that I'd been working on this.  I decided to record it last week, just to give another example of the ruleset in practice.

The original track can be found here:


While I was recording it, I changed the reharmonisations slightly.  Now that I've worked on a good few recordings with my updated ruleset, I know what works and what doesn't.  The back-cycling found in the original workouts I did earlier simply didn't work while I was recording.  It may have sounded okay months ago when I first tried it and sang along, but it didn't work now.  Perhaps it's because my ears have become more attuned to the kind of reharmonisations I'm going for.

I recorded a simple "Verse, chorus, middle section x2, chorus" structure.  As always, there could be any number of possible reharmonisations using my ruleset, but I opted instead to record the track once though, so that a general overview of the reharmonisation may be heard.
