Post Recording: "Down by the Sally Gardens" keyboard accompaniement.

Midi keyboard and whistle

The melody is as it should be but when I created the accompaniment I used minor 3rds in the "D" and "A" major chords in other words I played "Dmin" and "Amin" and this was the result

Sally Gardens (Part A) Slowly with accompaniment
The accompaniment is formed with D, A minor chords and G major. The first thing to note I am aware there is a palpable dissonance between the accompaniment and melody but with this slow melody phrase it's strangely acceptable to my ears more so than the major chord accompaniment that I had tried earlier. Is my hearing whacked or Am I going potty?

Checkout my whistling progress

It seems like you are using sustained block chords on your accompaniment.

Piano is not played that way. Try arpegiating and add a rhytmic beat on the melody and base part.

There are strong dissonance that was forcefully resolved.

If the original chord sounds unacceptable try using transitionary chord...7th or 9ths, or minimize the use of the 3rd like say in D which is D-F#-A don't use F# (broken Chords).

Im not that good on arrangement yet, I just patterned (like usual beats and measure) this on many scores that I have seen. Then, I listened and arranged notes based on how good they will sound.
