La Lógica de las Tensiones

How do we choose chord tensions so that the harmony has narrative meaning? As composers, it's important to learn to control the direction, resolution, and precise color of our chords to guide the harmonic narrative. By using audiation, we move beyond trial and error to serve the emotion and clearly feel the melodic gravity.
