Decided to include a 3rd analysis as my first one wasn't very thorough. i had to learn how to sing this song for one of my NTU electives "Magic of voice in the world of a singer", and we were all given the piano score for it. i was looking through it and then i realised that the chord progression fit into the harmonic phrase model! haha so yeah, presenting <b>All I ask of you</b> from <em>Phantom of the Opera.</em><br /><br /><b>All I ask of you</b><br />Music by: Andrew Lloyd Webber<br />Lyrics by: Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-QB2NbI8VnA/Ry3E2VJcbfI/AAAAAAAAALU/B7p-s_dhzGk/s1600-h/All+i+ask+of+you013.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-QB2NbI8VnA/Ry3E2VJcbfI/AAAAAAAAALU/B7p-s_dhzGk/s320/All+i+ask+of+you013.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128971988313599474" /></a><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><p><br /><strong><u>Analysis</u></strong><br /><strong>Chord Progression:</strong> I-I7-IV⁶₄-vii-V⁶-I<br /><strong>Harmonic Function:</strong> T-T-PD-(D)-D-T<br />.Tonic expansion is observed as the song progresses from chord I to I7. Chord IV comes thereafter, functioning as the predominant. Chord vii acts as a dominant substitute due to the presence of leading note Cflat, which helps listeners establish the key. Chord V follows, prolonging the dominant function.
