    VOCAL ARRANGEMENT
========================================

VERSE VOCAL SETUP:

- BGV 2: Harmony in 5ths (F#3-C#4-F#4)
- BGV 3: Counter-melody

CHORUS VOCAL SETUP:

- Extended range: F#3 to D5
- More melismatic runs

========================================
    HARMONIC PROGRESSIONS DETAIL
========================================

THEORETICAL ANALYSIS:

F#m - D - A - C#m
Function: i - V - III - vi

This creates a circle of fifths progression:
F#m (i) → D (V/iii) → A (V/vi) → C#m (vi)

Bridge: C#m - A - Bm - D
Function: vi - III - iv - V
This builds tension back to the chorus.

========================================
    MODULATION & VARIATIONS
========================================

BRIDGE VARIATION:
After 4 bars of C#m - A - Bm - D, modulate to relative major:

C# Major (relative to A minor):
- New key: C# Major
- Temporary modulation for lift
- Returns to F#m for final chorus

FINAL CHORUS:
- Add 9ths and 11ths to chords
- Extended harmony:
  * F#m9: F#3-A3-C#3-E3-B3
  * D9: D3-F#3-A3-C#3-E3

========================================
    ARRANGEMENT DYNAMICS
========================================

VERSE DYNAMICS:
- Start: pp (pianissimo)
- Build: p → mp → mf
- End: mf

PRE-CHORUS DYNAMICS:
- Crescendo from mf → f
- Add more instruments gradually

CHORUS DYNAMICS:
- Full: f (forte)
- Lift on final repetition: ff (fortissimo)

BRIDGE DYNAMICS:
- p (soft) for contrast
- Build to f for return

FINAL CHORUS:
- ff (fortissimo) with orchestra
- Maximum intensity

========================================
    RHYTHMIC VARIATIONS
========================================

BASIC RHYTHM (Verse):
- Chords on beats 1 and 3
- Syncopated 16th note fills

CHORUS RHYTHM:
- Chords on every beat
- 16th note arpeggios
- Syncopated bass

BRIDGE RHYTHM:
- Half-time feel
- Sustained chords
- Rhythmic percussion

========================================
    TEXTURE LAYERS
========================================

LAYER 1 (Foundation):

========================================
    MIXING NOTES
========================================

CHORD PRIORITIES IN MIX:
1. Lead Vocal (center, front)
2. Bass (low end, present)
3. Drums (tight, punchy)
4. Piano/Keys (mid-range support)
5. Strings (wide, atmospheric)
6. Synth leads (space for vocal)

FREQUENCY SEPARATION:
- Lead Vocal: 200Hz - 8kHz
- Piano: 80Hz - 4kHz
- Strings: 200Hz - 12kHz
- Bass: 20Hz - 200Hz
- Synths: 1kHz - 12kHz

========================================
    NEXT STEPS
========================================

1. Program MIDI sequences with these progressions
2. Record or program vocal melodies
3. Arrange string parts
4. Create orchestral mockups
5. Layer all elements progressively
6. Balance dynamics throughout song
