Help With Harmony

[Tech Reel 444]

I need help..

 

I'm working on an original song and I am struggling with a part that needs a harmony.

Here's is the part I currently need help with: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1R57F5iDlfj

 

I need a slightly lower version of that which will harmonize well. I don't know enough about music to be able to do this. I've been trying for like an hour now and I can't figure it out xD

 

If you have a suggestion, send an audio clip with Vocaroo with your rendition.

I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

Hey! I can help!

 

You actually have many ways you can harmonize. You're in the key of C major, which is the easiest key to compose off of since you've got no sharps or flats. 

 

Harmonies are often a minor 3rd, major 3rd or a perfect 5th below the principal melody. Sometimes, musicians use minor 7ths, which can give a more darker tone. Major 6ths are also use. 

 

I have attached two files to help you. The first file is an audio track of sample harmonies you can use. The 2nd is a PDF of sheet music with the transcribed harmonies from the audio file with explanations.
