7.2 Secondary Dominant Chords

• What is the primary function of secondary dominant chords?

  Temporarily tonicize non-tonic chord
• To identify a dominant chord, look for the presence of the major 7th
• What does V7/IV indicate in Roman numeral notation?

  Dominant resolving to IV
• In C major, the root of V7/IV is D.


  True
• In C major, the secondary dominant V7/IV has its root at the 5th semitone above G


  True
• Match the type of dominant chord with its function:

  Secondary Dominant ↔️ Temporarily tonicizes non-tonic chords

  Primary Dominant ↔️ Reinforces the tonic
• There are two main types of dominant chords: primary and secondary

  True
• Match the type of dominant chord with its resolution target:

  Primary Dominant ↔️ Tonic

  Secondary Dominant ↔️ Non-tonic chord
• What interval identifies a dominant chord?

  Major 7th
• Match the feature with the type of dominant chord:

  Resolves to the tonic ↔️ Primary Dominant

  Creates localized tension ↔️ Secondary Dominant
• Steps in resolving secondary dominant chords according to voice leading principles:

  1️⃣ Leading tone resolves upward

  2️⃣ Dominant 7th resolves downward
• In a primary dominant chord, the leading tone resolves up to the tonic
• In a secondary dominant chord, the leading tone resolves up to the root of the chord it resolves to.


  True
• In a secondary dominant chord, the dominant 7th resolves down by step to the third of the chord it resolves to.

  True
• Primary dominant chords resolve to the tonic
• The Roman numeral for a primary dominant chord is V7.


  True
• Primary dominant chords resolve to the tonic
• Match the type of dominant chord with its resolution:

  Primary Dominant ↔️ Tonic

  Secondary Dominant ↔️ Non-tonic chord
• Secondary dominant chords add localized tension and harmonic motion
• The root of a secondary dominant chord is a perfect fifth
• Order the voice leading principles for secondary dominants:

  1️⃣ Leading tone resolves upward

  2️⃣ Dominant 7th resolves downward
• In secondary dominant chords, the leading tone resolves upward to the root
• The seventh of a secondary dominant chord should resolve downward by a whole tone.


  True
• In the key of C major, what chord does V7/IV (D7) resolve to?

  IV (F)
• In the resolution of V7/IV in C major, the leading tone C# resolves upward to D
• The leading tone in a secondary dominant resolves to the root of the chord being tonicized.


  True
• Secondary dominant chords create harmonic motion by temporarily tonicizing a non-tonic chord.


  True
• The Roman numeral for a primary dominant chord is V7
• Match the characteristics with the type of dominant chord:

  Dominant chord resolving to tonic ↔️ Primary Dominant

  Dominant chord resolving to non-tonic ↔️ Secondary Dominant
• What is the Roman numeral for a primary dominant chord in music theory?

  V7
• The leading tone of a secondary dominant chord should resolve upward by a whole tone.

  False
• Chromatic passing tones in a melody over secondary dominants create harmonic motion
• A melodic sequence over a secondary dominant builds momentum
• Match the characteristics with the type of dominant chord:

  Dominant chord resolving to tonic ↔️ Primary Dominant

  Dominant chord resolving to non-tonic ↔️ Secondary Dominant
• What is the Roman numeral for a secondary dominant chord that resolves to the IV chord?

  V7/IV
• Secondary dominants add harmonic interest by temporarily tonicizing a non-tonic chord.

  True
• The secondary dominant V7/IV resolves to the IV
• What are secondary dominant chords?

  Dominant chords resolving to non-tonic
