I chord name | tonic |

Triad | Type of chord. 3 notes. Separated by thirds. Root, third fifth. All lines or spaces. |
The third of the triad... | gives the chord its quality! |
The root of the triad... | names the chord! |
The fifth of the triad... | fully voices the chord! |
Baroque music and seventh chords? | Baroque music mainly used four voices, so they only used a couple types of seventh chords, and no ninth chords. |
Romantic music said after Baroque music?? | Let's use more notes! |
Borrowed chords/secondary harmonies | chords or ideas from other keys |
Tendancy tones | create tonal pull, want to be resolved. ex. ^7 (leading tone) |
Artistic intent | purpose of a song, how it's executed with chords and such |
Roman numberal chords | chord IN A KEY. You have to label the key to use roman numerals for keys. Roman numerals accompanying chords help you ANALYZE and understand the music. They aren't necessary for performance. |
Figured bass | performance tool used by keyboards to fully voice four part harmony with only bass notes and little numbers. Because composers were lazy. |
Inverted chords... | have weaker stability! |
6 | first inversion of a triad |
6/4 | second inversion of a triad |
7th chords sound... | more dense than triads because with one more note, there's twice as many little interactions |
Why is the diminished seventh so special? | any note can serve as the bass because it's a symmetrical chord (all minor thirds). Good for changing keys or borrowing chords. |
Ertext | music exactly how the composer wrote it, printed without editing |
Inversion is a tool to... | more subtly slip between chords. Everything would be really abrupt without it. Now moving the bass has a much bigger effect. |
Adults have their own motives... | trust no one |
It's called protecting yourself... | and monitoring your expectations |
conjunct melody | steps, no leaps between notes |
disjunct melody | leaps, bigger intervals between notes |
VII chord in natural minor chord name | subtonic. no longer leading tone because is has a different purpose. |
closed position chords | more full, playing every consecutive chord tone, not played low like in left hand piano because it's muddy |
open position chords | not playing every consecutive chord tone, spice it up |
7 | root position of a seventh chord |
6/5 | first inversion of a seventh chord |
4/3 | second inversion of a seventh chord |
4/2 | third inversion of a seventh chord |
Major seventh chord (MM7) | Major triad, major seventh. M3, m3, M3. Diatonic on I and IV. |
Dominant seventh chord (7) | Major triad, minor seventh. M3, m3, m3. Diatonic on V. |
Minor seventh chord (mm7) | Minor triad, minor seventh. m3, M3, m3. Diatonic on ii, iii, vi. |
Half diminished seventh chord (7(/)) | Diminished triad, minor seventh. m3, m3, M3. diatonic on vii(/). |

Minor Major seventh chord (mM7) | Minor triad, major seventh. m3, M3, M3. NOT used in Baroque! |
Function | How chords work together. A more macro examination of music, looking at phrases as a whole, not just chord to chord. |
Typical chord progression for the period we're studying. Same for major and minor, just change cases of chords. | Tonic (Home) (I, vi) -> Pre-Dominant (Long journey) (ii, IV, vi, vii d) -> Dominant (Powerful climax) (V, could sub with vii d because both have tendency tones ^4 & ^7) -> Tonic. You can switch out chords if they have similar notes (vi for I in Tonic) |
Why do you see a lot of inverted IV in the tonic part of the function? | Because you can change chords but keep the bass the same. |
What types of chords are used in the Pre-Dominant part of the function? | chords with as few similar notes to tonic as possible. |
Cadence | Punctuation for music. Musical run-on sentences without them. Points of arrival or decompression. 90% of them are between two chords. Strong and weak types. We learned about four classical cadences. |
Authentic Cadence | most strong and profound. V->I |
Plagal Cadence | second strongest. safe, church music. IV->I |
Deceptive Cadence | second weakest. subvert expectations. V->vi |
Half Cadence | weakest. empty inside, hate, fear, oh so alone. ?->V (vii) COMMON PATTERN - phrase -> HC -> same phrase -> AC |
the only types of entertainment people had during Bach's time | music, drama, and church |
secret recipe | flat VI -> flat VII -> I |
