chords, cadences

chord progressions consist of how many

I, II, (no III), IV, V

A 1st chord will have a base note of the..

starting tonic

A 2nd chord will have a base note of the..

supertonic

A 4th chord will have a base note of the..

subdominant

A 5th chord will have a base note of the..

dominant

within a minor key, the 5th chord chord is differnet as

it has a riase 7th - contians leading note

triads is a synonm for

chords

can chords have >3 notes

yes

when a chord has 4 notes, the same note will appear

twice

layouts of chords

1. all in same octave

2. 2 in trble, 2 in bass

3. 3 in trbele, 1 in bass

4. 3 in bass, 1 in treble

how to recognise a chord progression

1. list out all notes within chord

2. find out key (_ maj/minor)

3. find out what degree of base note is from key

eg

e major key w/ a, c#, e chord

count from e→a

e,f,g,a = 4 notes = IV chord

cadences mark the end of a

phrase (musical sentence)

cadences typically consist of __ chord porgression(s)

2

perfect cadences provide a sense of ___ as they begin with a __ chord, and end on a ___ chord

finality

V/5

plagal cadences begin on a ___ chord, end on a ___ chord

IV/4th

I/1st

imperfect cadences end on __ chord

V/5th

within a 4 note chord, one note will always be

doubled, appears twice

how to identify cadences

alternatively, w/o drawing chart

• recognise key sig

• count from tonic to base note

• distance (amount of notes between them) = chord type

chord invesions are dtermined by which note within a chord

bottom note, lowest, bass

root position/a determined by which note of the chord

bottom

first inversion/b determined by which note of chord

second, middle

second inversion/c is determined by which note in chord

third, top

how to identify chords and their inversions

how to choose a suitable chord for cadence points within a given score

define passing note

note between two other notes which are included within a chord

eg

chord = g,b,d

• passing= a,c

define auxiliary note

note that lies between two identual chord notes, it is either above or below

eg

E - d - E
