CHAPTER
A Review of Harmony
- tonic, dominant, pre-dominant
- prolongational, cadential, sequential
- a prolonged harmony is sustained in time via the use of a subordinate harmony
- submediant (VI)
- they all contain #4
- a neighboring chord occurs between a prolonged harmony in the same position (e.g., root position), a passing chord occurs between a prolonged harmony that changes position (e.g., from root position to first inversion)
- prolongational
- deceptive cadential
- with a cadential six-four
- an penultimate dominant is the second-to-last harmony in a cadential progression and typically leads to the tonic—the cadential goal; an ultimate dominant is the final harmony of a cadential progression and thus serves as the harmonic goal
