    Scale Degrees, Chord Quality, & Roman Numeral Analysis There are a total of seven scale degrees in both major and minor scales. Each of these degrees has a name which you are required to memorize tonight. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 & w w w w w 1. tonicw 2.w supertonic 3.w mediant 4. subdominant 5. dominant 6. submediant 7. leading tone 1. tonic A triad can be built upon each scale degree. w w w w & w w w w w w w w 1. tonicw 2.w supertonic 3.w mediant 4. subdominant 5. dominant 6. submediant 7. leading tone 1. tonic The quality and scale degree of the triads is shown by Roman numerals. Captial numerals are used to indicate major triads with lowercase numerals used to show minor triads. Diminished triads are lowercase with a "degree" ( °) symbol following and augmented triads are capital followed by a "plus" ( +) symbol. Roman numerals written for a major key look as follows: w w w w & w w w w w w w w CM: wI (M) iiw (m) wiii (m) IV (M) V (M) vi (m) vii° (dim) I (M) EVERY MAJOR KEY FOLLOWS THE PATTERN ABOVE FOR ITS ROMAN NUMERALS! Because the seventh scale degree in a natural minor scale is a whole step below tonic instead of a half step, the name is changed to subtonic, rather than leading tone. Leading tone ALWAYS indicates a half step below tonic. Notice the change in the qualities and therefore Roman numerals when in the natural minor scale.

  • Major and Minor Scales Half and Whole Steps
    Dr. Barbara Murphy University of Tennessee School of Music MAJOR AND MINOR SCALES HALF AND WHOLE STEPS: half-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that are adjacent on the piano keyboard whole-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that have another key in between chromatic half-step -- a half step written as two of the same note with different accidentals (e.g., F-F#) diatonic half-step -- a half step that uses two different note names (e.g., F#-G) chromatic half step diatonic half step SCALES: A scale is a stepwise arrangement of notes/pitches contained within an octave. Major and minor scales contain seven notes or scale degrees. A scale degree is designated by an Arabic numeral with a cap (^) which indicate the position of the note within the scale. Each scale degree has a name and solfege syllable: SCALE DEGREE NAME SOLFEGE 1 tonic do 2 supertonic re 3 mediant mi 4 subdominant fa 5 dominant sol 6 submediant la 7 leading tone ti MAJOR SCALES: A major scale is a scale that has half steps (H) between scale degrees 3-4 and 7-8 and whole steps between all other pairs of notes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 W W H W W W H TETRACHORDS: A tetrachord is a group of four notes in a scale. There are two tetrachords in the major scale, each with the same order half- and whole-steps (W-W-H). Therefore, a tetrachord consisting of W-W-H can be the top tetrachord or the bottom tetrachord of a major scale.

  • The Strategic Half-Diminished Seventh Chord and the Emblematic Tristan Chord: a Survey from Beethoven to Berg
    International Journal ofMusicology 4 . 1995 139 Mark DeVoto (Medford, Massachusetts) The Strategic Half-diminished Seventh Chord and The Emblematic Tristan Chord: A Survey from Beethoven to Berg Zusammenfassung: Der strategische halbverminderte Septakkord und der em­ blematische Tristan-Akkord von Beethoven bis Berg im Oberblick. Der halb­ verminderte Septakkord tauchte im 19. Jahrhundert als bedeutende eigen­ standige Hannonie und als Angelpunkt bei der chromatischen Modulation auf, bekam aber eine besondere symbolische Bedeutung durch seine Verwendung als Motiv in Wagners Tristan und Isolde. Seit der Premiere der Oper im Jahre 1865 lafit sich fast 100 Jahre lang die besondere Entfaltung des sogenannten Tristan-Akkords in dramatischen Werken veifolgen, die ihn als Emblem fUr Liebe und Tod verwenden. In Alban Bergs Lyrischer Suite und Lulu erreicht der Tristan-Akkord vielleicht seine hOchste emblematische Ausdruckskraft nach Wagner. If Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in general, and its Prelude in particular, have stood for more than a century as the defining work that liberated tonal chro­ maticism from its diatonic foundations of the century before it, then there is a particular focus within the entire chromatic conception that is so well known that it even has a name: the Tristan chord. This is the chord that occurs on the downbeat of the second measure of the opera. Considered enharmonically, tills chord is of course a familiar structure, described in many textbooks as a half­ diminished seventh chord. It is so called because it can be partitioned into a diminished triad and a minor triad; our example shows it in comparison with a minor seventh chord and an ordinary diminished seventh chord.

  • The Augmented Sixth Chord
    CHAPTER24 The Augmented Sixth Chord Characteristics, Derivation, and Behavior The two excerpts in Example 24.1 are from different style periods, yet they share several features. In terms of form and harmony, both divide into two subphrases and close with strong half cadences. Further, the pre-dominant harmony in both examples is the same: an altered iv6 chord. Indeed, we hear not a Phrygian cadence (iv6-V), but rather some chromatic version, where the diatonic major sixth above the bass is raised a half step to create the strongly directed interval of the augmented sixth (+6). The new half-step ascent (#4-5) mirrors the bass's half-step descent (6-5). We refer to such chromatic pre-dominants as augmented sixth chords because of the characteristic interval between the bass 6 and the upper-voice #4. Listen to both excerpts in Example 24.1, noting the striking sound of the augmented sixth chords. EXAMPLE 24.1 A. Schubert, WaltzinG minor, Die letzte Walzer, op. 127, no. 12, D. 146 472 CHAPTER 24 THE AUGMENTED SIXTH CHORD 473 B. Handel, "Since by Man Came Death," Messiah, HWV 56 Example 24.2 demonstrates the derivation of the augmented sixth chord from the Phrygian cadence. Example 24.2A represents a traditional Phrygian half cadence. In Example 24.2B, the chromatic F# fills the space between F and G, and the passing motion creates an interval of an augmented sixth. Finally, Example 24.2C shows the augmented sixth chord as a harmonic entity, with no consonant preparation. EXAMPLE 24.2 Phrygian Cadence Generates the Augmented Sixth Chord Given that the augmented sixth chord also occurs in major, one might ask if it is an example of an applied chord or a mixture chord? To answer this question, consider the diatonic progression in Example 24.3A.

  • The Death and Resurrection of Function
    THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF FUNCTION A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Gabriel Miller, B.A., M.C.M., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Gregory Proctor, Advisor Dr. Graeme Boone ________________________ Dr. Lora Gingerich Dobos Advisor Graduate Program in Music Copyright by John Gabriel Miller 2008 ABSTRACT Function is one of those words that everyone understands, yet everyone understands a little differently. Although the impact and pervasiveness of function in tonal theory today is undeniable, a single, unambiguous definition of the term has yet to be agreed upon. So many theorists—Daniel Harrison, Joel Lester, Eytan Agmon, Charles Smith, William Caplin, and Gregory Proctor, to name a few—have so many different nuanced understandings of function that it is nearly impossible for conversations on the subject to be completely understood by all parties. This is because function comprises at least four distinct aspects, which, when all called by the same name, function , create ambiguity, confusion, and contradiction. Part I of the dissertation first illuminates this ambiguity in the term function by giving a historical basis for four different aspects of function, three of which are traced to Riemann, and one of which is traced all the way back to Rameau. A solution to the problem of ambiguity is then proposed: the elimination of the term function . In place of function , four new terms—behavior , kinship , province , and quality —are invoked, each uniquely corresponding to one of the four aspects of function identified.

  • Harmonic Progressions Dominant to Tonic Motion V
    HARMONIC PROGRESSIONS We already know the nuts and bolts of harmony, the origins of diatonic triads and 7th chords in their possible inversions and how these inversions are represented via roman numeral and figured bass notation. The next step is to arrange the diatonic chords into some kind of order that makes “sense” according to common practice standards. To arrange and play chords/harmonies in a particular order is to create a harmonic (or chord) progression. As the term implies, a progression should be constructed such that the sequence of chords has a sense of direction and “progress”, meaning that the progression is not aimless, but directed towards a goal. We can liken this idea to the natural direction that we hear in a scale as it ascends and descends. While the idea of direction or “goal-oriented” can be arguably subjective, the western music aesthetic has some basic and consistent models that inform the notion of what a truly “progressive” progression is. DOMINANT TO TONIC MOTION The most fundamental harmonic gesture in western music is based on the circle of 5ths/4ths relationship of keys. This gesture (small progression) consists of chords whose roots move up a 4th or down a 5th (ii to V, iii to vi, I to IV, etc.) in the same way that the keys in the circle of 5ths relate to one and other (G to C, C to F, etc.). The most “important” of these possible combinations is the V to I progression (or V to i in minor). The V chord (the dominant) moves up a 4th or down a 5th to the I or i chord (the tonic).

  • Keyalities & Tonalities
    Keyalities & Tonalities The Complete Book of Arpeggios, Cadences & Scales Music Moves for Piano By Marilyn Lowe In Cooperation with Edwin E. Gordon DO Signatures The flats and sharps that give us the letter name of DO (traditionally called a ‘key signature’) is a DO signature. DO is the resting tone for Major tonality. Each DO signature represents all tonalities (see Unit 13 of this book) when the moveable DO with a LA-based-minor solfege system is used. This solfege system is the only one that fosters audiation. The resting tones for tonalities other than Major are: RE/Dorian, MI/Phrygian, FA/Lydian, SO/Mixolydian, LA/Harmonic Minor and Aeolian, and TI/Locrian. The DO signatures in this book are presented in the circle of 4ths (circle of dominants).
