Musical analysis of “That Old Black Magic” Original Key Eb major; some shifting key centers during the first half of section “B” Form Rondo (A1 - B - A2 - C - D- E - A3 - F, broken down into eight measure sections) Tonality Primarily major with some minor tonality during section “C” Movement Repeated note broken up by an occasional descending major sixth or octave leap; step-wise ascending patterns, arpeggiation outlining the chord of the moment Comments () Some may consider this form more properly classified as A1 - A2 - B - A3 in sixteen measure sections. If this is indeed the case, one can nonetheless hear substantial differences between the last eight measures of each “A” that go beyond simple variation. Because of the repeated notes in the first half of each “A” section, this melody cries out for harmonic embellishment, which is missing in the original sheet music. Indeed, a number of big band arrangements of this piece include such embellishments. The nature of the melodic contour makes harmonization fairly flexible.
