    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(music)

    The concept of harmonic function originates in theories about just intonation.It was realized that three perfect major triads, distant from each other by a perfect fifth, produced the seven degrees of the major scale in one of the possible forms of just intonation: for instance, the triads F–A–C, C–E–G and G–B–D (subdominant, tonic, and dominant respectively) produce the seven ...

    Secondary dominant in "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" (1971), mm. 1–8 [16] In jazz harmony, a secondary dominant is any dominant seventh chord on a weak beat [citation needed] and resolves downward by a perfect fifth. Thus, a chord is a secondary dominant when it functions as the dominant of some harmonic element other than the key's ...

    Thus, the twelve tones of the chromatic scale are identified in a two-part system of categorisation: each tone is a member of a four note axis (tonic, dominant, and subdominant); each tone is part of a branch within that axis that is either the principal or secondary branch of that axis; and each branch consists of a pole and counterpole.

  7. Predominant chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predominant_chord

    In music theory, a predominant chord (also pre-dominant [3]) is any chord which normally resolves to a dominant chord. [3] Examples of predominant chords are the subdominant (IV, iv), supertonic (ii, ii°), Neapolitan sixth and German sixth. [3] Other examples are the secondary dominant (V/V) and secondary leading tone chord.

  8. Chord progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression

    The triads are referred to as the tonic chord (in Roman numeral analysis, symbolized by "I"), the subdominant chord (IV), and the dominant chord, (V), respectively. [3] These three triads include, and therefore can harmonize, every note of that scale. Many simple traditional music, folk music and rock and roll songs use only these three chord ...

    [3] For example, the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 7, K. 309, modulates only to closely related keys (the dominant, supertonic, and submediant). [4] Given a major key tonic (I), the related keys are: ii (supertonic, [5] the relative minor of the subdominant) iii (mediant, [5] the relative minor of the dominant)
