    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.

  • When the Leading Tone Doesn't Lead: Musical Qualia in Context
    When the Leading Tone Doesn't Lead: Musical Qualia in Context Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Claire Arthur, B.Mus., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: David Huron, Advisor David Clampitt Anna Gawboy c Copyright by Claire Arthur 2016 Abstract An empirical investigation is made of musical qualia in context. Specifically, scale-degree qualia are evaluated in relation to a local harmonic context, and rhythm qualia are evaluated in relation to a metrical context. After reviewing some of the philosophical background on qualia, and briefly reviewing some theories of musical qualia, three studies are presented. The first builds on Huron's (2006) theory of statistical or implicit learning and melodic probability as significant contributors to musical qualia. Prior statistical models of melodic expectation have focused on the distribution of pitches in melodies, or on their first-order likelihoods as predictors of melodic continuation. Since most Western music is non-monophonic, this first study investigates whether melodic probabilities are altered when the underlying harmonic accompaniment is taken into consideration. This project was carried out by building and analyzing a corpus of classical music containing harmonic analyses. Analysis of the data found that harmony was a significant predictor of scale-degree continuation. In addition, two experiments were carried out to test the perceptual effects of context on musical qualia. In the first experiment participants rated the perceived qualia of individual scale-degrees following various common four-chord progressions that each ended with a different harmony.

  • Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music
    Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gary Yim, B.Mus. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: David Huron, Advisor Marc Ainger Graeme Boone Copyright by Gary Yim 2011 Abstract It is proposed that two different harmonic systems govern the sequences of chords in popular music: affordant harmony and functional harmony. Affordant chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions that minimize technical difficulty when performed on the guitar, while functional chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions based on a chord's harmonic function within a key. A corpus analysis is used to compare the two harmonic systems in influencing chord transitions, by encoding each song in two different ways. Songs in the corpus are encoded with their absolute chord names (such as “Cm”) to best represent affordant factors in the chord transitions. These same songs are also encoded with their Roman numerals to represent functional factors in the chord transitions. The total entropy within the corpus for both encodings are calculated, and it is argued that the encoding with the lower entropy value corresponds with a harmonic system that more greatly influences the chord transitions. It is predicted that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional harmony, and therefore a lower entropy value for the letter-name encoding is expected. But, contrary to expectations, a lower entropy value for the Roman numeral encoding was found. Thus, the results are not consistent with the hypothesis that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional chord transitions.

Johnson Overview Following the minimalist tradition, much of John Adams's' music consists of long passages employing a single set of pitch classes (pcs) usually encompassed by one diatonic set.2 In many of these passages the pcs form a single diatonic triad or seventh chord with no additional pcs. In other passages textural and registral formations imply a single triad or seventh chord, but additional pcs obscure this chord to some degree.

  • Diminished 7Th (°7) Sounds (Part 1)
    Diminished 7th (°7) Sounds (part 1) Ted Greene The Diminished 7th Scale 1978-05-25 There is more than one scale that sounds good over °7 chord types, but the most common is a scale that is derived by simply preceding each note in a diminished 7th arpeggio with a note one 1/2 step lower. For instance, the C °7 arpeggio contains the notes C, Eb, Gb, and A; if we start on C and precede each of these arpeggio notes with a note one 1/2 step lower, we get the following: 1 2 b3 4 b5 b6 6 7 8 This scale is commonly known as the C D Eb F Gb Ab A B C DIMINISHED SCALE. (Fingerings will be given soon). Notice that the intervals between successive notes in this scale proceed in alternating whole and 1/2 steps. For this reason, it is also known as the WHOLE-HALF SCALE. (The 1/2-whole scale will be discussed a little later, in case you’re curious.) The chord tones in this scale are: 1 b3 b5 6(bb7) 7 9 11 b13 (12) (4) (b6) There is a whole world of chords which this scale works over, but for now, in this volume, we will have to limit our discussion to the °7 chord and its most common extensions: The o7/9 (1, b3, b5, 6, 9), the °7maj7 (1, b3, b5, 7), and the °7maj9 (1, b3, b5, 7, 9). There are many beautiful runs and melodic patterns in this scale, in fact so many that one would have to write an abundance of pages on just this subject alone, in order to really do true justice to what is available.

  • Scales and Arpeggios for Guitar by Mike Georgia
    Scales and Arpeggios for Guitar By Mike Georgia To keep things simple approach it like this. 1. Everything is relative 2. The octave is divided into only 12 total notes 3. The corresponding shapes are about two octaves long 4. Use this as a reference. Take it little by little. 5. Learn solos and improvise over chord progressions to help you see and use the patterns. Everything will eventually sink in. Memorize the 12 intervals within the octave: Root, minor 2nd, major 2nd, minor 3rd, major 3rd, perfect 4th, tritone, perfect 5th, minor 6th, major 6th, minor 7th, major 7th, Octave And/Or Root, b2nd, 2nd, b3rd, 3rd, p4th, #4/b5, p5th, b6th, 6th, b7th, 7th, Octave Layout Across strings the notes either move “forward” up the neck, or back across the strings. When moving from string group to string group keep in mind: 1. Since the B string is tuned one fret different from the other strings. The notes on the B and E strings move up one fret relative to the other strings. 2. This changes the perceived shape of the pattern 3. It also makes it so that you can comfortably move some notes to a different string than on other string sets. b7 ^7 R p4 b 5 p5 b6 ^6 R b 2 ^2 b3 ^3 b7 ^7 R p4 b 5 p5 b6 ^6 R b 2 ^2 b3 ^3 b 7 ^7 R p4 b 5 p5 b6 ^6 R b 2 ^2 b3 ^3 ^6 b 7 ^7 R ^3 p4 b5 p5 b 6 R b 2 ^2 b3 Scales In general we can think of all scales as a derivative of the major scale.

  • A Markov Chain Interpretation of Some Arpeggios in Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 1St Movement
    A Markov Chain Interpretation of some Arpeggios in Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, 1st Movement Hisashi Kobayashi1 May 20, 2019 Abstract: We present a Markov chain interpretation of some arpeggios in the first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, which is composed in a ternary form, i.e., A-B-A’ form. In Section II, we analyze the arpeggios of Part A. Expert pianists may wish to skip this section. Our analysis, however, should have a pedagogic value to novice pianists, including this author, in helping them identify the chords and memorize this famous sonata more easily. In Section III, we propose to apply a Markov chain representations of the main arpeggios in section B. We show that the passages of the 32nd through 37th measures, which are arpeggiated from D# diminished 7th, C# minor, C# diminished 7th, and F# diminished 7th chords, respectively, can be concisely presented in terms of “state transition diagrams,” often used for analysis of a Markov chain in probability theory [4]. This representation leads to simple algorithmic descriptions of the arpeggios. Perhaps this simplicity is a key to the beauty of this part of the sonata. In Section IV, we present harmonic analysis for Part A’. Although there are a few entirely new passages, a large portion of Part A’ is a recapitulation of the passages of Part A, either as straightforward repetitions or in transposed forms. We hope that our chord analysis will be of some value to mathematically inclined pianists, and that the transition diagram representation will provoke interest among music theorists, possibly as a new tool to augment such existing tools as the Schenkerian graph and notation [5,6,7].

  • Altered Chords
    TutorTube: Altered Chords Summer 2020 Introduction Hello and welcome to TutorTube, where The Learning Center’s Lead Tutors help you understand challenging course concepts with easy to understand videos. My name is Darren Churn, Lead Tutor for Music Theory. In today’s video, we will explore chords with lowered alterations. Let’s get started. Chordal Alterations The group of chords containing a bVI, bIII and bII have many things in common. These chords are all altered in a way that makes them major in a specific context. The alterations of these chords come from harmonic mixture that resulted in the lowering of specific scale degrees to create major chords. These chords are used in different situations. Let’s look at each chord, starting with the bVI. The bVI A chord with the 6th scale degree as its root is normally minor (vi). With harmonic mixture, our 6th scale degree is now lowered a half step to create a new chord. Let’s look at an example. If we were to look at a normal vi in the key of C Major. Our chord would be A C E. Now, with the inclusion of harmonic mixture, an Ab is introduced. Our chord would now be Ab C E. This results in augmented chord that has no context or use for common practice. In order to create a more stable chord, the root is accompanied by another altered pitch to create a major chord. In this example, we get an Ab C Eb chord. When writing a bVI, the flat at the beginning of the chord is showing that the root has been lowered.
