---|---|
Counterpoint | A melody line or linear voice added to another line/voice |
intervals | the distance btwn 2 pitches |
melodic | sounding one after another (as in a melody/singing) |
harmonic | 2 pitches sounding at the same time |
consonant intervals | P1, P5, P8, M3, m3, M6, m6 (P4 melodically) |
dissonant intervals | M2, m2, M7, m7, and all augmented and diminished (P4 when used harmonically above the bass) |
resolution | motion of dissonant interval to the consonant |
tertian harmony | harmony built on thirds |
inversions | triads w/a chord member other than the root as the lowest sounding voice |
why are all seventh chords dissonant? | because of the added seventh |
Major seventh chord consists of | M+M7 |
Dominant seventh chord consists of | M+m7 |
minor seventh chord consists of | m+m7 |
half diminished seventh chord consists of | diminished+diminished7 |
fully diminished seventh chord consists of | diminished+diminished7 |
enharmonic intervals | sound the same, but spelled differently |
when an interval is doubly augmented or diminished, it is? | (for perfect and majors) one whole step larger or smaller |
simple intervals | intervals that are one octave or smaller |
compound intervals | intervals larger than an octave (usually 9-12) |
figured bass | indicates the intervals above a given bass line |
inversion symbols | indicate the lowest sounding note within a chord |
tendency tones | (4&7) having the tendency to resolve by a half step |
resolution tones | (1&3) active tones that move the tendency tones |
tonic chords | I/i and vi/VI |
sub/predominant chords | IV/iv and ii/ii* |
dominant chords | V and vii* (most active) |
cadence | the harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic conclusion to a phrase; establishes tonal center and determines the key |
perfect authentic cadence | V-I / V7-I where both chords are in root position. The tonic chord must double the root of the chord in the soprano. |
Imperfect authentic cadence | V-I or vii*6-I or V7-I or vii*/7-I where either chord is inverted and the tonic chord has a chord member other than the root in the soprano. |
plagal cadence | "amen cadence"; IV-I |
Deceptive cadence | V-vi |
Half cadence | IV-V, ii/ii6-V, I64-V -- basically anything ending with V |
Phrygian half cadence | occurs in harmonic minor; iv6-V |
