ALL OF ME
Tritonic Reharmonization
|
All Of Me follows an A B A C form. I use
the standard key of C major for this reharm. The bulk of the tune uses a
cascading sequence of V - I changes pivoting around Eb - G - B tonal centers. It
can get a little tricky to keep track of where you are. The end of the B section
moves into the E - C tonal centers, which suggest the third party of Ab,
and then a half-step II - V moves us back down to F-7 to start the cycle again.
The second ending pivots into G major until the Ebmaj7#5, then begins to cycle
again, even as the Eb resolution is sounded.
I had to tweak the melody at the end of the first A section into
the B section as follows: In the last measure of the A section, the F is held
for a half-note, then the E which would normally come in the next measure sounds
on beat three for a half-note. The B section begins with the D# as a half-note,
and then the D natural is played for a full half-note starting on beat three.
This was the only adjustment needed.
There is an intro and a coda for this one. The coda drops to E
and then used that as a pivot into the E - C - Ab tonal centers, which allow the
ending in C. I also use the stock ending, but end on a Cmaj7#5 to bring out the
G# as the continuation of the F - F# - G part of the line. Here are my
changes:

Intro ||: B
G#7b9 | C#-7 F#7 :||
(vamp)
A F-7
Bb7 | Eb F#7b9 | B
D7 | G(6) Bb7(#11)
| Eb F#7 | B
D7(9/b13) | G Bb7 |
Eb F#7 ||
B B D7 |
G Bb7b9 | Eb | G-7

| F#-7 B7 | E G7
| C | F#-7 B7 ||
A F-7 Bb7 |
Eb F#7b9 | B D7 |
G(6) Bb7(#11)
| Eb F#7 | B
D7(9/b13) | G Bb7 |
Eb D7b9 ||
C G E7b9 |
A-7 D7 | G Bb7 |
Ebmaj7#5 | A-7 D7 |
G Bb7
| Eb | G-7 C7 ||
The tag begins three bars before the end of the C section as a
coda, which follows:
Coda G F
| E | Bb-7 Eb7
| Ab B7b9 | E
G7 | C (stock ending)
Cmaj7#5 ||
During the solo section, the altered tensions are
dropped from the chords, except in the last bar of the second A (D7b9), and the
first bar of the C section (E7b9). Bar four of the C section (Ebmaj7#5) also
remains. Have fun! [ top ]
