Practice harmonizing the above hymn tune "Anamnese" in 4 parts this way:
1. Place the tune in the soprano and supply missing 2 middle parts 2. Use 3 note chords (tonic, subdominant, dominant etc. and their inversions) 3. Dominant seventh chord works well for the ending of the phrase. 4. End phrases in F minor, Ab major, Bb minor, and Ab major. 5. Make sure you avoid parallel fifths and octaves by moving the upper 3 parts in opposite direction than the bass Take a slow tempo, aim for a smooth legato touch and 3 correct repetitions in a row. Here's the MIDI file of soprano and bass parts for listening. Post time and the number of repetitions to comments and share a photo of yourself practicing this exercise. [HT to Pierre]
