MUSC 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Tritone, Major Chord
Document Summary
Certain texts can have more than one interpretation for certain chords. The analysis for the non-chord tones must stay consistent with whatever interpretation is chosen. Open scores with added voices must consider all voices. Leaving out voices will leave the chord incomplete. A scalar pattern is an attention sign for passing tones. Adding notes to chord does not change the function. A v and v7 still lead back to i in the same way. V is almost always major, and so v7 is always major. M/m- distance between root and seventh is major or minor. Mm7- a major triad combined with a minor seventh. Mm7- a major triad and major seventh mm7- a minor triad and minor seventh. The v chord is the only one that occurs with a mm7 combination, all the other scale degree chords are mm or mm. In a mm v7 chord, the distance between the 3rd and the 7th creates a tri-tone (4+/5 )
