reharmonize
Alter harmonic structure
To reharmonize is to change the chords or harmonic structure supporting a melody while keeping the melody intact.
Jazz musicians commonly reharmonize standards, substituting unexpected chords for conventional ones: She reharmonized "Autumn Leaves" with tritone substitutions.
The technique adds freshness to familiar material or creates new emotional color.
