Harmonizing Melodies with Upper Structure Triads Part 1 Adding harmony to a melody line (harmonization) can add depth and richness to a line. Harmonizing with upper structure triads dials this up a notch by underscoring the melody with a subtle polytonal undercurrent that transforms the line by obscuring the key. It is an entrancing effect that sounds sophisticated and hip. Watch part one of this two-part series to see how to harmonize tensions over dominant chords with upper structure triads.
