  2. Nonchord tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonchord_tone

    A suspension (SUS) (sometimes referred to as a syncope) [9] occurs when the harmony shifts from one chord to another, but one or more notes of the first chord (the preparation) are either temporarily held over into or are played again against the following chord (against which they are nonchord tones called the suspension) before resolving ...

  3. Suspended chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_chord

    A suspended chord (or sus chord) is a musical chord in which the (major or minor) third is omitted and replaced with a perfect fourth or a major second. [1] The lack of a minor or a major third in the chord creates an open sound, while the dissonance between the fourth and fifth or second and root creates tension.

    broken chord A chord in which the notes are not all played at once, but in some more or less consistent sequence. They may follow singly one after the other, or two notes may be immediately followed by another two, for example. See also arpeggio, which as an accompaniment pattern may be seen as a kind of broken chord; see Alberti bass. bruscamente

  6. Resolution (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(music)

    This is an example of a suspended chord. In reference to chords and progressions for example, a phrase ending with the following cadence IV–V, a half cadence, does not have a high degree of resolution. However, if this cadence were changed to (IV–)V–I, an authentic cadence, it would resolve much more strongly by ending on the tonic I chord.

  7. Appoggiatura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appoggiatura

    By putting the non-chord tone on a strong beat, (typically the first or third beats of the measure, in 4/4 time) this accents the appoggiatura note, which also delays the appearance of the principal, expected chord note. The added non-chord note, or auxiliary note, is typically one degree higher or lower than the principal note, and may be ...

  8. Quartal and quintal harmony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartal_and_quintal_harmony

    In the Middle Ages, simultaneous notes a fourth apart were heard as a consonance.During the common practice period (between about 1600 and 1900), this interval came to be heard either as a dissonance (when appearing as a suspension requiring resolution in the voice leading) or as a consonance (when the root of the chord appears in parts higher than the fifth of the chord).

  9. Chordioid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chordioid

    Based upon 7 ♭ 5no3, e.g.: { C G ♭ B ♭}, [4] the sonority of the chordioid itself is identical to that of the base triad of the Fr+6, a subset of the wholetone scale and so subject to some of the symmetries and homogeneity for which that scale is known, and anhemitonic allowing the possibility that the resultant scale be anhemitonic or at least ancohemitonic itself.
