An excellent example of Harmonic Progression is the Leaning Tower of Lire. In it, uniform blocks are stacked on top of each other to achieve the maximum sideways or lateral distance covered. The blocks are stacked 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, … distance sideways below the original block.
In the Schuman example (Three Score Set for Piano), the inversions of the chords suggest a bichordal effect. [ 3 ] In the example on the top right, we see a series of quartal chords in parallel motion, in which the intervallic relationship between each consecutive chord member, in this case a minor second , is consistent.
Harmonic rhythm may be described as strong or weak. According to William Russo harmonic rhythm is, "the duration of each different chord...in a succession of chords." [3] According to Joseph Swain (2002 p. 4) harmonic rhythm, "is simply that perception of rhythm that depends on changes in aspects of harmony."
[1] [2] Every term of the harmonic series after the first is the harmonic mean of the neighboring terms, so the terms form a harmonic progression; the phrases harmonic mean and harmonic progression likewise derive from music. [2] Beyond music, harmonic sequences have also had a certain popularity with architects.
The harmonic series is an arithmetic progression (f, 2f, 3f, 4f, 5f, ...). In terms of frequency (measured in cycles per second , or hertz , where f is the fundamental frequency), the difference between consecutive harmonics is therefore constant and equal to the fundamental.
By thinking of this blues progression in Roman numerals, a backup band or rhythm section could be instructed by a bandleader to play the chord progression in any key. For example, if the bandleader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of B ♭ major, the chords would be B ♭-B ♭-B ♭-B ♭, E ♭-E ♭-B ♭-B ♭, F-E ...
A harmonic cadence is a progression of two or more chords that concludes a phrase, section, or piece of music. [3] ... for example, it can be used to refer to the ...
I−vi−ii−V is one of the most common chord progressions in jazz. [5] The progression is often used [6] as a turnaround, occurring as the last two bars of a chorus or section. [7] The I−vi−ii−V chord progression occurs as a two-bar pattern in the A section of the rhythm changes, [8] the progression based on George Gershwin's "I Got ...
