    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_chord

    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 ...

  4. Ragtime progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragtime_progression

    The ragtime progression [3] is a chord progression characterized by a chain of secondary dominants following the circle of fifths, named for its popularity in the ragtime genre, despite being much older. [4] Also typical of parlour music, its use originated in classical music and later spread to American folk music. [5]

  5. Function (music) - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  6. Chord substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_substitution

    The chord a minor third above, ♭ VII 7, may be substituted for the dominant, and may be preceded by its ii: iv 7. [16] Due to common use the two chords of the backdoor progression (IV 7-♭ VII 7) may be substituted for the dominant chord. [11] In C major the dominant would be G7: GBDF, sharing two common tones with B ♭ 7: B ♭ DFA ♭.

  7. I–V–vi–IV progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I–V–vi–IV_progression

    In this ordering, the progression ends with a double plagal cadence in the key of the dominant (in the Mixolydian mode) and could also be respelled ii–bVII–IV–I, opening with a backdoor turnaround. The chord progression is also used in the form IV–I–V–vi, as in songs such as "Umbrella" by Rihanna [5] and "Down" by Jay Sean. [6]

  8. Altered chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_chord

    By the broadest definition, any chord with a non-diatonic chord tone is an altered chord. The simplest example of altered chords is the use of borrowed chords, chords borrowed from the parallel key, and the most common is the use of secondary dominants. As Alfred Blatter explains, "An altered chord occurs when one of the standard, functional ...

  9. 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.
