C.
Fly me to the Moon (Bart Howard)
This is the scale-tone chord progression of C major.
The progression starts and ends on the VIm7 chord (Am7).

Am7 - Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7 - Fmaj7 - Bø - E7 - Am7

VIm7 - IIm7 - V7 - Imaj7 - IVmaj7 - VIIø - III7 - VIm7

The E7 chord (in bar 7) is a mini modulation (to the key of A harmonic major).
To fit into the C major chord progression it should have been Em7.


D.
All the Things You Are - 1 (Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein)
This is the scale-tone chord progression of Ab major.
The progression starts on the VIm7 chord (Fm7).

Fm7 - Bbm7 - Eb7 - Abmaj7 - Dbmaj7 - G7 - Cmaj7 - Cmaj7

VIm7 - IIm7 - V7 - Imaj7 - IVmaj7 - VII7 - IIImaj7 - IIImaj7

The root tones of the two chords in the last three bars follow the scale-tone chord progression, but the chord qualities have changed. It represents a three bar modulation to the key of C major.


E.
All the Things You Are - 2 (Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein)
This is the scale-tone chord progression of Eb major.
The progression starts on the VIm7 chord (Cm7).

Cm7 - Fm7 - Bb7 - Ebmaj7 - Abmaj7 - D7 - Gmaj7 - Gmaj7

VIm7 - IIm7 - V7 - Imaj7 - IVmaj7 - VII7 - IIImaj7 - IIImaj7

The root tones of the two chords in the last three bars follow the scale-tone chord progression, but the chord qualities have changed. It represents a three bar modulation to the key of G major.

Note that the first 8 bars and second 8 bars of this song are identical in chord structure but expressed in two different keys. The two are cleverly connected by the Cmaj7 chord in bards 7 and 8, that subtly turns into a C minor chord in bar 9.


F.
Autumn Leaves - 2 (Johnny Mercer)
This is the scale-tone chord progression of G major.
The progression starts on the IIm7 chord (Am7), and ends on the VIm chord (Em).

Am7 - D7 - Gmaj7 - Cmaj7 - F#ø - B7 - Em - Em

IIm7 - V7 - Imaj7 - IVmaj7 - VIIø - III7 - VIm - VIm

The B7 chord (in bar 6) is a mini modulation to the key of E (harmonic) minor. (We will discuss this type of minor progression in Lesson 17).


G.
1.
Friends Forever is 24 bars long and has an A B A format. The chord progression of all three 8 bar sections is very similar.

2. The A7 (turnaround) in bar is a temporary modulation to D major. The D7 in bars 13 and 14 is a temporary modulation to G major.

3. Most long notes are chord tones. The long Es in bar 13 and 15 are clearly perceived as 9ths of the D7 and Dm7 chords. Even the long E fits in as a 13th of G7. 4. The long notes in the first 8 bars form a gradually descending line of so called guide tones. This gives continuity and forward motion to the melody.
This is a common feature of songs created from the entire scale-tone chord progression (check out the melody of Fools Rush In, All the Things you Are, Autumn Leaves). It is also a good device to use in creating strong improvised solos.
