    The document provides instructions for writing 5-part soli (harmonization) based on standard 4-part writing techniques. It states that 3 voices will be assigned harmony notes as in 4-part writing, while the lowest voice will duplicate the top voice an octave lower. It gives an example and notes that the bottom voice may need to move to the nearest chord tone if duplicating a non-chord tone from above. The document advises identifying chord tones and non-chord tones, and discusses resolving tensions created by non-chord tones by lowering them by a tone or semitone.

    5 Part Soli Basic

    5 Part Soli
    • All 5 part soli are derived from standard 4 part soli application.
    • 3 of the under voices from the lead melody are assigned to harmony
    notes as in 4 part soli.
    • Remaining of the bottom voice will be the duplicate of the octave
    lower from the top voice.
    Example

    top voice for the chord Last bottom notes is the duplicate
    Assign another 3 notes below for
    of the top voice
    4 part harmony
    More Example of chords

    All top voice or leading notes or melody and different chord on the similar melody.

    When situation like this, might be some of the notes are actually not from the chord,they are known
    as
    Non-chord Tone.
    Identify Non Chord Tone

    Chord Tone = 7th Non chord Tone = 4th Non Chord Tone = 6th
    Chord Tone = 5th

    Note = for 7th chord, chord tone would be 1,3,5,7


    = For non chord tone would be 2,4,6.
    = Usually Non chord tone position also we identified as tension in a chord when we combine with 7th chord.
    = So, from 2,4,6 would change into tension position which are 9th,11th,13th
    Contruct 4 soli voices from leading/top note

    From
    bottom to top voices :

    1,3,5,7 5,7,1,11(4) 7,1,3,5 7,1,3,13(6)

    Chord tone Nonchord tone Chord tone Nonchord tone

    Note = for nonchord tone case, usually can result to minor 2nd to the 2 top voices such as position
    1st with 2nd, 3rd with 4th, 5th with 6th. To avoid min 2nd, we would skip chord tone for 2nd top voice and
    go to the next chord tone such as example above.
    Duplicate top voice 1 octave lower

    Next step will be duplicate the same note and drop it 1 octave lower for the 5th bottom voice as example above.

    For non chord tone special case, it is not appropriate to duplicate tension/nonchord tone voice into bottom lower
    as it is will make the harmony too tense highlighted tone on tension. for this case, after duplicate, the bottom note
    has to move into nearest chord tone and usually will drop either 1 tone or 1 semitone.
    After move to nearest chord tone

    This tension has move from


    G notes 4th/11th at bottom This tension has move from
    to F# (3rd) G notes 6th/13th at bottom
    to F# (5th)
    Thats it and Thank you!
