Harmony 8 Flashcards
How are non harmonic tones figured?
Like chord tones
How are voices that change after the initial track of the chord figured
Which a change of numeral
When does figured bass not represent the true position if the chord?
When non harmonic tones are in the initial attack of the chord(suspensions, etx)
Diatonic passing tone
Between two chord tones a third apart in a weak rythm
Accented passing tone
A non chord tone in a strong rythmic position
Chromatic passing tone
Fills the interval between two chord tones that are a second apart in a weak rhytmic position
Cross relation
When a chromatically altered chord tone in one voice is next to the same diatonic scale degree in another voice.
Double passing tones
Fill a fourth between two chord tones in a weak rythmic position
Chromatically altered passing tone
Between two chord tones
Most often over the V chord in a minor key
Upper auxillary
A tone a step above two chord tones of the same pitch in a weak rhytmic position
Lower auxillary
A tone a step below two chord tones of the same pitch in a weak rythmic position
May be chromatically altered
Changing tones
Two non chord tones approaching a chord tone
One above and one below
First must be in a weak rythmic position
If the chord tone is g then the tones are f then a landing on g
Can changing tone be preceded by the note they resolve to?
Yes
Nota cambia
Changing tones precede by a note a third from Target note
ie target g: b a f g
Cambiata
A non chord tone approached by disjunct motion in one direction and resolved by conjunct in the opposite direction
A leap in one direction and a step in the other to Target
Target g: d(above) f#(below) g(target)
Echappee
Non chord tone approached by conjunct motion and left by disjunct motion in the opposite direction
Opposite shape of a cambiata
A step then a leap in the opposite direction to the chord tone
Target g : c(above) d(above) g( target)
Suspension
A non harmonic tone when a melodies natural progression is delayed
A chord tone from a first chord that is sustained or repeated in the second chord as a non harmonic tone
Suspension
Three parts of a suspension
Preparation
Suspension
Resolution
Upward resulotion of a suspension
Retardation
Appoggiatura
A non harmonic tone a step above or below a chord tone that resolves to the chord tone
Like a suspension with no preparation
Anticipation
A non chord tone that becomes a.chord tone in the following chord
Pedal
A non harmonic tone that lasts for three or more chords
What voice do peedals usually occur in?
Bass or tenor
