Tonic Expansion
Define 'submediant chord'.
vi in major, VI in minor. Versatile chord with tonic expansion, weak predominant, and deceptive cadence functions.
What is 'tonic expansion'?
When a chord substitutes for the tonic, extending the sense of home.
What is a 'deceptive cadence'?
A cadence that progresses V-vi (or V-VI in minor), avoiding the expected tonic resolution.
Define 'harmonic function'.
A chord's role within a progression (Tonic, Dominant, Predominant).
What is a 'predominant chord'?
A chord that typically leads to the dominant, creating a pull away from the tonic.
Define 'tonic'.
The 'home base' chord; stable, resolved, and provides a sense of rest.
Define 'dominant'.
A chord that creates tension and pulls strongly towards the tonic.
What is 'contextual analysis'?
Interpreting a chord's function based on its surrounding chords in a progression.
What is a 'authentic cadence'?
A cadence that progresses V-I (or V-i in minor), creating a sense of resolution
What is the function of 'weak predominant'?
A chord that creates a gentle pull away from the tonic, leading to the dominant.
