Combining Techniques: Theme Imitation, Diminution, Hocket and Harmonization

There are various approaches to setting a musical theme. In this video a short example orchestral composition demonstrates the combination of motif imitation, rhythmic diminution and augmentation, hockey technique and harmonization. The theme consists of three short motifs, M1 to M3. Harmonization is based on Schillinger variable tension chords in thirds, creating a tension curve pattern, with mostly non-functional character. Subsections from this composition are discussed in detail. There is companion material on Patreon (PDF, 24 pp. A4).
