Typically, it refers to a note shared between two chords in a chord progression. According to H.E. Woodruff: Any tone contained in two successive chords is a common tone. Chords written upon two consecutive degrees of the [diatonic] scale can have no tones in common. All other chords [in the diatonic scale] have common tones.
The Petrushka chord is a recurring polytonal device used in Igor Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka and in later music. These two major triads , C major and F ♯ major – a tritone apart – clash, "horribly with each other," when sounded together and create a dissonant chord .
According to James Bennighof: "Replacing an expected final minor chord with a major chord in this way is a centuries-old technique—the raised third of the chord, in this case G ♯ rather than G natural, [verification needed] was first dubbed a 'Picardy third' (tierce de Picarde) in print by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1797 ... to express [the ...
The vi chord before the IV chord in this progression (creating I–vi–IV–V–I) is used as a means to prolong the tonic chord, as the vi or submediant chord is commonly used as a substitute for the tonic chord, and to ease the voice leading of the bass line: in a I–vi–IV–V–I progression (without any chordal inversions) the bass ...
Loop di Love" is a schlager pop song written by German musicians Dieter Dierks and Michael Schepior, based on the traditional Greek song "Dirlanda". It was first recorded in 1971 by Rolf Steitz (born in Cologne, Germany, 7 January 1952) performing under the pseudonym Juan Bastós. This version was a hit in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The scheme I-x-V-I symbolizes, though naturally in a very summarizing way, the harmonic course of any composition of the Classical period.This x, usually appearing as a progression of chords, as a whole series, constitutes, as it were, the actual "music" within the scheme, which through the annexed formula V-I, is made into a unit, a group, or even a whole piece.
For subdominant chords, in the key of C major, in the chord progression C major/F major/G7/C major (a simple I /IV/V7/I progression), the notes of the subdominant chord, F major, are "F, A, and C". As such, a performer or arranger who wished to add variety to the song could try using a chord substitution for a repetition of this progression.
The chord factor called the "fifth" (pitch name "G") is represented in voice 2 (shown in red). The chord factor that is in the bass determines the inversion of the chord. For example, if the third is in the bass it is a first inversion chord (figured bass: 6 3) while if the seventh is in the bass the chord is in third inversion (4 2). The ...
