Finale Notepad

"I'll Be Bach", Arnold Scharzenegger

See how well you can imitate Bach by harmonizing the following melody in 4-voice chorale style. What are the "rules"? Sound as much like Bach as possible. Duh.....

This makes a great little competition activity to see which student can come sound the most like Bach. Take the best student compositions and add one of Bach's actual harmonizations of this tune and do a blind listening test to see if the students can identify the real thing.
