Diatonic intervals
Any relationship that occurs within the same scale or key. Major 2nd Major and minor 3rd Perfect 4th & 5th Minor & major 6th and 7th Perfect octave
Which triads are major, minor or diminished in a major scale?
Tonic major; super tonic minor; mediant minor; subdominant major; dominant major; sub mediant minor; leading note diminished I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii0
Chromatic interval
Two notes of the interval from outside the same scale or key Minor 2nd, Diminished 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th Augmented 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Augmented
Widen any major or perfect interval one semitone without changing the letter name of the note
Diminished
Reduce a minor or perfect interval one semitone without changing the letter name of the note.
Compound intervals
Any intervals which are larger than an octave. Bottom note is treated as if it is the key note.
Intervals in an augmented triad
Major third plus major third
Intervals in a diminished triad
Minor third plus minor third
Interval in a major triad
Major 3rd plus minor 3rd
Intervals in a minor triad
Minor 3rd plus major 3rd
What is the time signature for Compound quadruple dotted crotchet beats
12 / 8
Which triads are major, minor or diminished in a minor scale?
Tonic minor; super tonic diminished; mediant major; sub dominant minor; dominant major; sub mediant major; leading diminished i, ii0, III, iv, V, VI, vii0
Perfect cadence chord progression
V - I Minor V - i
Plagal cadence chord progression
IV - I Minor iv - i Often final cadence in hymns
Imperfect cadence chord progression
I - V (i - V) ii - V (ii• - V) IV - V (iv - V) Sounds unfinished, often marks half way point in a melody.
Interrupted cadence chord progression
V - vi (minor V - VI) Sounds interrupted and unexpected. In major keys the final chord is minor in the mood becomes despairing. In the minor key the final chord is a major in the mood turns brighter.
Two notes of the interval from outside the same scale or key Minor 2nd, Diminished 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th Augmented 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
