What do a 19th-century Christmas song and a 17th-century Baroque piece have in common? Chords! As we learn an easy arrangement of “Jolly Old St. Nicholas,” we’ll use it to explore the famous “Pachelbel’s Canon” chord progression—and while we’re at it, we’ll focus on some go-to guidelines for harmonizing and adding chords to any tune. (Also suitable for adventurous Level 2 learners! Note: A 16/15 setup is recommended.)
