Unit 5: Harmony and Voice Leading II: Chord Progressions and Predominant Function

In the ________ major, the supertonic triad is a D minor chord (D- F- A)

It is often used to create ________ and release in a composition.

The difference between modulation and tonicization is the occurrence of a convincing cadence and ________ in the new key.

Supertonic triad- Built on the ________ of a major scale.

Subdominant triad- Built on the ________ of a major scale.

The ________ of the 6 /4 chord is the same as the root of the dominant chord.

In minor keys, the ________ is often used to create a sense of harmonic ambiguity because the ________ can be either major or minor, depending on whether the scale is natural or harmonic minor.

F major chord (F- A- C)

A chord or group of chords that lead to the dominant chord in a musical composition

The chord built on the fourth scale degree of a major or minor key

The chord built on the second scale degree of a major or minor key

Chords that typically come before the dominant chord in a progression

The sixth degree of the scale

A chord progression that creates a sense of resolution but ends on a chord other than the expected tonic chord

V-vi progression

The process of analyzing a piece of music in its entirety, taking into account its historical, cultural, and social context

Built on the fourth scale degree of a major scale

Built on the second scale degree of a major scale

The third degree of a diatonic scale

The process of moving from one tonal center to another, with or without changing the key signature

When we have a region of a new key or experience a temporary sense of a new tonic by the occurrence of one or two non-diatonic chords

A chord that has its fifth replaced with a fourth, resulting in the intervals of a root, fourth, and sixth

Functions as a dominant chord and resolves to a tonic chord

Functions as a harmonic pedal point

Used to connect two chords that are a third apart, often in a stepwise motion

Chord in which the notes are played one at a time in a specific order, rather than all at once

it prolongs the tonic chord by using the submediant chord (vi) as a substitute for the tonic chord (I).

used to lead to the dominant chord (V)
