1:2 Secondary Dominants & Borrowed Chords Flashcards
A triad or dominant seventh chord built upon the dominant of supertonic (ii), mediant (iii, III), subdominant (iv, IV), dominant (V), submediant (vi, VI), and subtonic (VII) of the prevailing key.
Secondary Dominant
What is the purpose of the secondary dominant?
to provide harmonic progression with a greater sense of movement, direction, and color.
Compositional method using secondary dominants to create a V-I effect for a very brief moment
Tonicization - not to be confused with change of key or modulation.
Which qualities of chords can be tonicized?
Major or minor
two Roman numerals separated by a slash in harmonic analysis represent
Secondary dominants
A secondary dominant will generally have at least one note chromatically altered that is foreign to the current key. This is known as:
Chromaticism
Chords that apply chromaticism are
Altered chords
Secondary dominants will be used to precede only which qualities of chords?
Major and Minor
What is the most common form of secondary dominants?
V/V and V7/V
Which consideration should be taken when using the V/IV?
It is identical to the tonic of the key.
Why would a composer add the 7th to the secondary dominant of the IV (V7/IV) ?
In order to give greater clarity to tonicization.
Are the V/III and V7/III still an option as a secondary dominant even though they are identical to the VII and VII7?
Yes; and they are not chromatically altered.
How is the V/VI normally analyzed?
III vice a secondary dominant
Can the following secondary dominants be used in second inversion?
V/ii. V7/ii. V/iii. V7/iii. v/v. v7/v
No
Can the V/VI. V7/VI be used in second inversion?
Only in a descending line
Which kinds of chords can be recognized by looking for chromatic alterations within the vertical harmonic structure of an individual chord or triad?
