Music Theory II

The Triadic Period

100

Every triad needs a 1st, 3rd, and this.

5th

200

Triads can be major, minor, diminished, or this

Augmented

300

The notes in a Bb diminished triad are these three.

Bb Db Fb

400

A Db major triad spelled F-Db-Ab would be in this inversion.

First

500

This root pos major triad can be played using just black keys on a piano.

 F# Major ( Gb Maj)

Seventh Heaven

100

C, E, G, B is this type of chord.

C Major 7th (CMaj7)

200

Each seventh chord has this many possible positions to be in.

4 (including root, 1st, 2nd, 3rd)

300

The last note in a root position Eb Dominant 7th

Db

400

The bass note of this chord in B major:

iii⁴₂

C#

500

The notes, in closest ascending order, to F# Major spelled as a 7th chord in 2nd inversion

C# E# F# A#

Tones That Don't Belong!

100

Non Chord Tones are also called this (besides NPCs)

Non Harmonic Tones

200

This NCT is approached by step and continues by step in the same direction (C, D E over a C chord)

Passing Tone

300

If a neighbor tone is the opposite of a passing tone, then an escape tone (step then skip) is the opposite of this.

Appoggiatura - Skip then step

400

The difference between a suspension and a retardation is this.

Sus - same then resolves down a step

Ret - same then resolves up a step

500

Changing tones, or double neighbor tones involve two NCTs. In C Major, on staff paper, it will look like this (write the notes)

E -F, D - E or something like that - the NCTs are a 3rd apart and a step away from the chord tone.

Secondary Dominance

100

Any secondary dominant chord will use this Roman numeral in the numerator

V

200

A V/IV chord in a major key is indistinguishable from a simple I. What do composers / artists usually do to show it's not a I?

Make it a V⁷/IV

300

In D Major, a chord consisting of:

B, D#, F#, A

would be expressed as this in RNA.

V⁷/ii

400

Any V/V can be expressed as what Roman numeral in a key?

II (always will be major)

500

Draw out or write down the notes to a V⁴₃/iii⁷ in Eb Major.

D F# A C with A in the bass.

Symbols, Phrases and Cadences

100

The lead sheet symbol for iv in D minor

Gm

200

G: I - iii⁶ - IV - V - vi 

This chord progression could be described to have this type of cadence.

Deceptive

300

A type of cadence that ends in a V - I, with so - do in the bass and do in the soprano of the I chord

PAC (perfect authentic cadence)

400

Words for a pair of phrases in which the first 'questions' and the second 'answers'

Antecedent and Consequent

500

Ab^M7/C would be expressed this way in Roman Numeral Analysis in F minor?
