12 - Advanced - Harmonic Cadences Flashcards

The objective of "Harmonic Cadences" is to help you quickly and correctly identify harmonic cadences. A cadence is defined as a harmonic or melodic configuration designed to create a sense of resolution. It is a chord progression that includes at least two chords, acting as a conclusion to a phrase, section or piece of music. This deck will introduce you to the various harmonic cadences used in Western music theory. UltimateMusicTheory.com
