  2. Linear progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_progression

    The term Zug may best be translated as "a direct, unimpeded motion from one place to another." [7] Linear progressions prolong harmonies through elaboration, or filling-in with dissonant notes, of a leap between two consonant notes from different voices in a chord. [8] In English they may be abbreviated "prg."

  3. Chord progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression

    A chord may also have chromatic notes, that is, notes outside of the diatonic scale. Perhaps the most basic chromatic alteration in simple folk songs is the raised fourth degree (♯) that results when the third of the ii chord is raised one semitone. Such a chord typically functions as the secondary dominant of the V chord (V/V).

  4. Voice leading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_leading

    If no note at all is present in a chord which can be reused in the chord immediately following, one must apply contrary motion according to the law of the shortest way, that is, if the root progresses upwards, the accompanying parts must move downwards, or inversely, if the root progresses downwards, the other parts move upwards and, in both ...

    IV M7 –V 7 –iii 7 –vi chord progression in C. Play ⓘ One potential way to resolve the chord progression using the tonic chord: ii–V 7 –I. Play ⓘ. The Royal Road progression (王道進行, ōdō shinkō), also known as the IV M7 –V 7 –iii 7 –vi progression or koakuma chord progression (小悪魔コード進行, koakuma kōdo shinkō), [1] is a common chord progression within ...

  6. Circle of fifths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths

    Chord progressions also often move between chords whose roots are related by perfect fifth, making the circle of fifths useful in illustrating the "harmonic distance" between chords. Major 7th progressing on umbilic torus surface. The circle of fifths is used to organize and describe the harmonic or tonal function of chords. [2]

  7. All-interval twelve-tone row - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-interval_twelve-tone_row

    The Grandmother chord is an eleven-interval, twelve-note, invertible chord with all of the properties of the Mother chord. Additionally, the intervals are so arranged that they alternate odd and even intervals (counted by semitones) and that the odd intervals successively decrease by one whole-tone while the even intervals successively increase by one whole-tone. [13]

  8. Parallel harmony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_harmony

    In the example on the top right, we see a series of quartal chords in parallel motion, in which the intervallic relationship between each consecutive chord member, in this case a minor second, is consistent. Each note in the chord falls by one semitone in each step, from F, B ♭, and E ♭ in the first chord to D, G, and C in the last.

  9. Irregular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_resolution

    C, E, G, B ♭ would resolve to C ♯, E, F ♯, B ♭ = A ♯; again, two tones are common (with enharmonic change), two voices move by half-step in contrary motion. This is called tritone substitution when the target chord replaces (or is inserted before) the original chord in a chord progression. Regular resolution Play ⓘ. One common tone ...
