A passing tone (PT) or passing note is a nonchord tone prepared by a chord tone a step above or below it and resolved by continuing in the same direction stepwise to the next chord tone (which is either part of the same chord or of the next chord in the harmonic progression).
Changing tones. In music, changing tones (also called double neighboring tones and neighbor group) consists of two consecutive non-chord tones. [1] [2] The first moves in one direction by a step from a chord tone, then skips by a third in the opposite direction to another non-chord tone, and then finally resolves back to the original chord tone.
This is a glossary of Schenkerian analysis, a method of musical analysis of tonal music based on the theories of Heinrich Schenker (1868–1935). The method is discussed in the concerned article and no attempt is made here to summarize it. Similarly, the entries below whenever possible link to other articles where the concepts are described ...
In accordance with the arpeggiation from which it stems, the fundamental line exhibits the space of a third, fifth, or octave. These spaces are filled by passing tones. [1] The primary tone therefore necessarily is one of the higher tones of the tonic chord, , or . The fundamental line descends from its primary tone to the tonic, :
Example of a double passing tone in which the two middle notes are a dissonant interval from the cantus firmus, a fourth and a diminished fifth Example of a descending double neighbor figure against a cantus firmus Example of an ascending double neighbor figure (with an interesting tritone leap at the end) against a cantus firmus
Emotional prosody or affective prosody is the various paralinguistic aspects of language use that convey emotion. [1] It includes an individual's tone of voice in speech that is conveyed through changes in pitch, loudness, timbre, speech rate, and pauses.
The way the article is laid out (with a separate section for nonchord bass tones) currently suggests that bass tones are somehow exempt from classification as other types of nonchord tones, such as suspensions, passing tones, etc. Passing tones in the bass, both accented and unaccented, are extremely common in the Bach chorales, and while other ...
In analyses, this is represented by two crossing lines with double arrowheads indicating the exchanged pitches. A common exchange of this sort involves a progression of a third using a passing tone, the exchange notated by the interval succession 10-8-6 (if this is with the bass, the third chord is a first inversion of the first).
