Although this has nothing to do with historical theory, I do always look for the linear descent to the final when marking out a harmonization. Amost all Western music has it. In historical theory, the final itself will normally be an indicator of mode. Some renaissance and baroque music begins

Beautiful! Bravo! I love Carolan's music- very well played too; wish I had the time brains to arrange his music for lute, one of my old favorites. (used to play versions on lyra viol, years ago). Nice lute, too. One of my friends is getting a theorbo from Van Edwards. Thanks, please record

Thank you Dan. Much appreciated. In fact I did quite a few arrangements (rather harmonizations in fact) of some Carolan's pieces for the recording we did last summer with my ensemble. There are a few solos in the programme, that is one of them. The cd should be released next mont hopefully...

Although I studied harmonization, it was geared towards Bach and later. For earlier music, you need to look at the sources directly. There's two things, basically, to consider. One is harmony, that is, the chords or more complex harmonic structures. Two is the voice-leading. You need to be aware

Dear Stuart, I did not reply earlier because we have those 6 hours (or more if you're on the West Coast) between France and the other side of the Ponsd ;- )! Actually Ron and David gave exactly the answer I would have given... No gimmick or mystery in arranging these tunes. Harmony and
