Harmonic progression
The process of relating chords within the scale to where they naturally lead
2
New cards
Progression
When the harmonies proceed from a stable beginning (tonic function), move forward through progressively more active chords (predominant and dominant function), including seventh chords to end (resolve) with stability
3
New cards
Circle progression
The movement of chords where the root of each chord is a diatonic fifth above the next chord
4
New cards
Progression by thirds
The movement of chords where the root of each chord is either up or down by a third
5
New cards
Progression by seconds
The movement of chords where the root of each chord is either up or down to the next note in the scale
6
New cards
RETROgression
When harmonies move backwards from this concept T-D-S-T (a root position V to a root position IV)
7
New cards
Harmonic rhythm
The rate at which harmony changes
8
New cards
the more a chord is inverted
the weaker its function or the more it functions like another chord.

New cards
Types of second inversion chords
* Passing
* Pedal
* Arpeggiated
* Cadential

Rules for RETROgression
* Don’t follow V with IV, ii6 or ii6/5.
* Don’t follow vi (VI) with I (i) because the tonic chord is more stable, less tense than IV.
* Don’t follow ii with IV. They’re not equal in tension.
