Looping Songwriters: Cool Resource for Harmony/Melody Analysis

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Looping Songwriters,

I just stumbled on a wonderful online resource for song analysis
(I'm on a kick to study the harmony of songs that I love).

This particular site allows you to see the chords (written or in mouse 
over tab form)
against lyrics and then to transpose the songs to make the harmony 
easier to see.

I got an excellent lesson from my friend Paul Wagner last night who 
pointed out
subtle ways of modulation that re-orient the listeners ear and prepare 
it for a new
tonal center (as evidenced in the sublime writing of Leonard Bernstein 
in this song
from West Side Story.

I'm off to the piano to analyze this piece and the several others that 
he name checked
at a diner last night........I'm excited!
