I am trying to understand the application of secondary dominant harmony by studying its effects on the famous song, [Do-Re-Mi][1] from the Sound of Music.
I have come up with [this][1], which sounds great - but I honestly cannot tell the difference between this and the more humble [diatonic version][2].
The minor chords ii and iii sounded more "muddy", though - which is less in line with the mood of the original score.
I am not even sure which version Julie Andrews actually sang in the MV shared above.
