False
True of False: The term "diatonic" describes chords that are not usually found within a given Key (ex. G minor does not belong in the Key of C).
True
True or False: A chord that creates a harmonic movement back to the I chord (tonic) is called a cadential chord.
True
True or False: A common cadence involving the movement of the IV chord to the I chord is called plagal.
True
True or False: A suspension, passing and a neighboring tone are all labeled as non-harmonic tones in our text.
True
True or False: According to the text, motives and melodic development help to create and break expectations in music, resulting in interesting melodies and progressions that catch our ear.
True
True or False: Consequent phrases tend to follow (come after) antecedent phrases.
True
True or False: Dissonance, or clashes between notes, is the driving force behind pedal point technique.
True
True or False: In any Major Key, the I, IV, and V chords are usually major.
False
True or False: In the Key of C, the V chord (dominant) is F major.
True
True or False: Shenkerian Analysis is a method in which long and complicated passages of music are reduced to simple melodic lines that help to reveal the intent of the composer. This technique is a type of linear analysis.
False
True or False: The "Chord Function Cycle" (from Section 9) follows this pattern: PREDOMINANT ---> TONIC ---> DOMINANT ---> PREDOMINANT
True
True or False: The C major scale was the first scale discussed in the text. The G major scale sounds like the C major scale because both scales have the same intervallic relationship (distances) between each note of the scale, even though a G major scale contains different notes than the C major scale. Both the C major scale and the G major scales sound similar in quality, but the G major scale starts off on G, which is the tonic note of the scale.
True
True or False: The Element of Music, Duration, describes when and how long pitches are played, giving rise to concepts such as rhythm and beat.
False
True or False: The I64 chord is an example of a first inversion triad.
False
True or False: The ii and IV chords are classified as "Dominant Functions".
True
True or False: The iii chord can act as a chord that resolves to a I chord or a V chord because one note or a step below the root will sound the dominant chord; or one note or 1/2step up from the fifth of the iii chord will sound the tonic chord.
True
True or False: The iii chord can resolve stepwise to either the I6 chord or the V64 chord.
False
True or False: The major II chord is rarely heard and used in music, it has no connection to the term secondary dominant chord in music.
False
True or False: The movement of the V chord (dominant) back to the I chord (tonic) is known as a plagal cadence.
True
True or False: The supertonic chord has an important function in music. Sometimes it will be labeled as a major sounding chord, which functions as a secondary dominant (which means the altered third of the major II chord creates the sound which becomes active and has a strong pull to resolve to V chord of that key). The major II and the strong active resolution to the dominant is a movement down a fifth, which functions like a secondary area or secondary dominant of the original key. You will get more examples of this in the next ebook written by Dr. Ishigaki.
