MUS 600 Waiver Exam 1) What are the subdominant and dominant triads in the key of B major? - F# major and G# major - D# major and E major - E major and F# major - C# minor and F# minor 2) The parallel minor of E Major . - has one sharp in the key signature - has A minor as its subdominant - has a relative major of G - all of the above - none of the above 3) What is a perfect fifth? - the fifth scale degree from the root tone of a major or minor scale - a major third and a minor third above the root tone in a major triad - a consonant interval - an interval used in parallel motion in the Gregorian chant - all of the above 4) What is the common tone between an E-major triad and a G-major triad? - D - F# - B - C# 5) What is the enharmonic tone common between a C-augmented chord and a D- diminished chord? - Bb or A# - Ab or G# - Ab or B# - F# or Gb 6) What is the triad built on the supertonic of a B-minor scale? - a C#-diminished triad - a D#-diminished triad - an E-major triad - a G#-minor triad 7) Which is the best way to write a chord symbol for an F-augmented seventh chord? - F7(+5) - Faug5(add7) - F+7 - F+5+7 8) Assuming a harmonic minor scale, what is the median triad in a minor key? - a diminished triad - a minor triad - an augmented triad - a major triad 9) What is the seventh degree of a B-harmonic-minor scale? - A - Ab - A# - Ax 10) What is the seventh degree of a natural minor built on F? - E# - Eb - E - Ebb 11) Common tones in chords. - are good choices to repeat in a voice from chord to chord - should be avoided at all costs - should be used as melodic devices - are never found in the harmonic minor 12) The bass part in root position . .. - is a good way to begin the study of voice leading - may often move in skips - should be changed periodically to include other inversions of a chord - provides a solid foundation for a chord - all of the above 13) IV and V are most closely related to: - I - II - III - IV 14) What is the right note value to substitute for the "?" in order to make a correct measure? - Half note - Dotted quarter note - Quarter note - Dotted eighth note 15) When triads are built on any scale degree of a major or minor scale, they provide many possibilities for harmonic motion, all related to the key center. True/False 16) A time signature of 9/8 suggests triple meter True/False 17) The triad built on the second degree of a harmonic minor scale is an augmented triad. True/False 18) In the chord symbol "B7" the "7" refers to the major seventh above the root. True/False 19) An enharmonic equivalent is a different spelling of the same tone. True/False 20) A mediant (III) chord may be followed quite naturally by a submediant (VI) chord. True/False .
