Blowing on a spark, to see if I can get fire

Here's my response to Daniel's new submission. It's a recipe that shows how to find yourself a melody when once you have an attractive sounding chord sequence in hand.

Works for one, works for all

Nearly all of the postings in The Changes and most of my compositions posted under my listing in Our Composers have links to the "SongTrellis Excerpt Service". This means you can use any part of them as a source of harmonic material for your own compositions. That recipe I gave Daniel works in thousands of situations on SongTrellis.

Chas says...

That would be Charles Schoonmaker. He listened to Bernie Chinn's newly posted Musical Moment and said "Bernie, this lovely little number just goes to underscore that there is no substitute for the grace and beauty that can eventually emerge from considerable real instrument practice and live performance experience. Once again, my hat is off to you and I hope other trellis members share my sentiments !!"
