Music

(2) Define and Recognize Cadences and Nonharmonic Tones (not aurally; possibly some analysis with a chordal component);

(3) Be able to recognize and define and notate son and rumba clave patterns and the terms clave and claves;

(4) Be able to define Shape-Note Singing and "Wondrous Love";

(5) Be able to define figured bass/continuo/open and close (simple) position of chords/tertian triads;

Harmonic Cadence- musical punctuation that closes a phrase or section of music. most cadences conclude with either the V or I chord.

* Perfect authentic cadence – a progression from V to I in major keys and V to I in minor keys. The PC is the strongest cadence of all.

* Imperfect authentic cadence – slightly weaker than the strong cadence. A perfect cadence become imperfect when:

1. The highest sounding tone in the tonic triad is a tonr but not tonic note.

2. The viio is substituted for the V.

3. One or both of the chord V or I is inverted.

* Half cadence – if the second chord of a cadence is V, it is a half cadence. For example, I to V, IV to V, or ii to V. sometimes iv6 to V is called Phrygian half cadence.

* Plagal cadence – only one progression : IV to I in major keys, or iv to i in minor keys. Infrequently, the progression ii6 to I occurs as a plagal cadence.

* Deceptive cadence – if the first chord is V snd second chord is not I, the cadence is deceptive. Most often it is the vi in major and VI in monir.

Nonharmonic tones – are pitches that sound along with a chord but are not chord pitches. Most nonharmonic tones are dissonant and create intervals of a second, forth, and seventh.

Figured bass (continuo)– the bass line with its accompanying symbols is called a figured bass, and the instruments that play from this part are called the continuo.

Figured bass - Consists of a bass part with figures below to indicate the type of harmony. It is a contrapuntal, intervallic shorthand method of showing the...
