Resumo

Com o intuito de auxiliar os coros de igrejas no estudo de harmonia e improvisação coral, são propostos nesta comunicação alguns passos simples, criados a partir da análise de melodias corais tradicionais. O coro aprenderá a utilizar as tríades de tônica, subdominante e dominante para improvisar novas melodias corais e acompanhamentos para as mesmas. Esta proposta metodológica é fundamentada em trabalhos de Gainza e Molina.
