Looping Songwriters: Cool Resource for Harmony/Melody Analysis
Looping Songwriters,
I just stumbled on a wonderful online resource for song analysis
(I'm on a kick to study the harmony of songs that I love).
This particular site allows you to see the chords (written or in mouse
over tab form)
against lyrics and then to transpose the songs to make the harmony
easier to see.

I got an excellent lesson from my friend Paul Wagner last night who
pointed out
subtle ways of modulation that re-orient the listeners ear and prepare
it for a new
tonal center (as evidenced in the sublime writing of Leonard Bernstein
in this song
from West Side Story.
I'm off to the piano to analyze this piece and the several others that
he name checked
at a diner last night........I'm excited!
