  2. Consecutive fifths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consecutive_fifths

    So-called hidden consecutives, also called direct or covered octaves or fifths, [11] [nb 3] occur when two independent parts approach a single perfect fifth or octave by similar motion instead of oblique or contrary motion. A single fifth or octave approached this way is sometimes called an exposed fifth or exposed octave.

  3. Contrapuntal motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrapuntal_motion

    In music theory, contrapuntal motion is the general movement of two or more melodic lines with respect to each other. [1] In traditional four-part harmony, it is important that lines maintain their independence, an effect which can be achieved by the judicious use of the four types of contrapuntal motion: parallel motion, similar motion, contrary motion, and oblique motion.

  4. Counterpoint - Wikipedia

    Use caution with successive accented perfect fifths or octaves. They must not be used as part of a sequential pattern. The example shown is weak due to similar motion in the second measure in both voices. A good rule to follow: if one voice skips or jumps try to use step-wise motion in the other voice or at the very least contrary motion.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fifth_intervals

    All-fifths tuning. All-fifths tuning refers to the set of tunings for string instruments in which each interval between consecutive open strings is a perfect fifth. All-fifths tuning is the standard tuning for mandolin and violin and it is an alternative tuning for guitars. All-fifths tuning is also called fifths, perfect fifths, or mandoguitar ...

  6. Irregular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_resolution

    Consecutive fifths and octaves, augmented intervals, and false relations should still be avoided. [2] Voice leading may cause the seventh to ascend, to be prolonged into the next chord, or to be unresolved. [3] The following resolutions to a chord with tones in common have been identified: Type I, in which the root motion descends by minor third.

  7. Tritone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone

    The diminished fifth is often called a tritone in modern tonal theory, but functionally and notationally it can only resolve inwards as a diminished fifth and is therefore not reckoned a tritone—that is, an interval composed of three adjacent whole tones—in mid-renaissance (early 16th-century) music theory. [19]

    Melody may be characterized by its degree and type of conjunct and disjunct motion. For example, Medieval plainchant melodies are generally characterized by conjunct motion with occasional thirds, fourths, and generally ascending fifths while larger intervals are quite rare though octave leaps may occur between two separate phrases.
