Navy Music: Root Position Primary Triads

Front 1

Primary triads in root position can be connected with few errors using what guidelines?

Back 1

1. Place roots of triads in the Bass voice

2. Keep the common tone in the same voice, then move the remaining two voices to the nearest chord tones by step (conjunct motion).

3. When there is conjunct root position movement, there is no common tone. In that case, move all upper voices contrary to the Bass to the nearest chord tones.

Front 2

When writing triads in four parts, it is necessary to double one of the notes of the triad. Generally, double _____ notes.

Back 2

Tonal

Front 3

Back 4

Dominant, tonic

Front 5

The dominant triad in natural minor is minor. Thereforem the major form of the traid is borrowed from its parallel major key by raising the third with an accisdental to create a leading tone and stronger resolution. This process creates what type of scale?

Back 5

Harmonic minor

Front 6

An upper case Roman numeral indicates a ______ triad. A lower care Roman numeral indicates a ______ triad.

Back 6

Major, minor

Front 7

Arabic numerals are used for figured bass or figuring and indicate notes above the _____ voice, primarily as simple intervals.

Back 7

Bass

Front 8

Primary triads in root position may be used to form what three types of harmonic cadences?

Back 8

Authentic, plagal, half

Front 9

A ________ cadence occurs when the dominant chrod progresses to the tonic chord at a cadence point.

Back 9

Authentic

Front 10

In addition to the authentic cadence requirements, what must a perfect authentic cadence have in addition to make it perfect?

Back 10

Both chords are in root position and the tonic scale degree appears in the soprano voice over the tonic chord.

Front 11

The Perfect Authentic cadence occurs most often as a _______ cadence.

Back 11

Final

Front 12

What makes an Imperfect Authentic cadence imperfect?

Back 12

Back 13

Plagal

Front 14

True or False: Plagal cadences can be perfect and imperfect

Back 14

True (and they follow the same rules as perfect and imperfect authentic cadences)

Front 15

A _________ cadence occurs when any chord, regardless of inversion, progresses to the dominant at a cadence point.

Back 15

Half

Front 16

A _______ _________ cadence occurs when any chord, regardless of inversion progresses to the subdominant at a cadence point.

Back 16

Front 17

True or False: Half cadences are used as final cadences.
