Accent - Reharmonization Technique for 6 Voices (technique developed by Cedric Dent, Ph.D.)

This is admittedly an old video...but we realized after all these years, it had only ever been posted to Facebook!

Full credit for developing this technique goes to Cedric Dent, Ph.D., Professor of Music at Middle Tennessee State University and founding member of TAKE 6. We are merely applying the technique he developed here! It is meant to provide an exercise and process for reharmonizing simple passages into a more "thick" sound—so we don't mean to convey that you would necessarily arrange an entire piece like this. There are many approaches to reharmonization and this is only one. But it takes you through many of the available reharmonization possibilities and through practice, mixing and matching, you can have this process as another tool in your kit!

Bonus points go to anyone who can find the mistake and post it in the comments. And feel free to post your own versions and tag us!
