Chapter 6 - Harmonic Organization 2: Chords in Diatonic Contex

When a(n) ________ is in second inversion, the intervals above the bass are a sixth and a fourth.

________ triad- The chord built on the seventh scale degree in natural minor.

The ________ is the same in major and harmonic minor.

Minor triads are indicated with ________ numbers.

________ triad- The chord build on the ________ note (G) in G Major.

A seventh chord in ________ has the seventh of the chord in the bass.

The chord build on the tonic note (G) in G Major

The chord built on the seventh scale degree in natural minor

Consists of the bass line and the Arabic numbers under the bass line that represent the intervals above the bass to be played

To indicate the lowest-sounding note within a chord

related to the scale degree on which is built

harmonic form of minor

• Major mediant (III)

• VII

• Subtonic

the major chord and the diminished chord are of the same quality in both.

• the note that is the interval of a sixth above the bass is the root.

• The inversion symbol is a superscript Arabic number 6 placed to the right of the Roman number.

• the intervals above the bass are a sixth and a fourth.

• The note that is a fourth above the bass is the root.

• The inversion symbol is superscript 6/4 added to the Roman number chord symbols.

Contains four notes. All of them are unstable because the arrangement of tones contains an interval of a seventh.

• Root

• Third

• Fifth

• Seventh

• Major seventh (major triad + major seventh)

• Dominant seventh (major triad + minor seventh)

• Minor seventh (minor triad + minor seventh)

• Half-diminished seventh (diminished triad + minor seventh)

• Fully-diminished seventh (diminished triad + diminished seventh)

• has the third of the chord in the bass.

• The root of the chord is the interval of a sixth above the bass.

• The inversion symbol is 6/5.

• has the fifth of the chord in the bass.

• The root of the chord is the interval of a fourth above the bass, and the added seventh is a third above the bass.

• The inversion symbol is 4/3.

• has the seventh of the chord in the bass.

• The root of the chord is a second (the inversion of a seventh) above.

• The inversion is written as 4/2 or 2/1.

occurs on the leading tone in harmonic minor.

only occurs on the dominant.
