Wells Cathedral School Music DepartmentThis project focuses on the study of chorale cadences in AS Music: using the guide supplied within this resource and the audio-visual material offered, students learn how to harmonise chorale cadences in the style of J S Bach.

This is in preparation for the AS examination in which students will be supplied with a Bach Chorale. It will be complete except at the cadences, where the Alto, Tenor and Bass parts will drop out. Students will be required to supply the missing sections and in most cases, this will involve supplying two cadence chords, their approach chord and one or two other chords preceding this.
