5.1 Chord Progressions

• What is the role of the V chord in the dominant function of chord progressions?

  Creates a pull towards I
• The dominant function is created by the V chord, which is built on the 5th scale degree.
• The I-V-I chord progression is the most basic and tonally stable.


  True
• Order the chords in the ii-V-I progression.

  1️⃣ ii

  2️⃣ V

  3️⃣ I
• Chord progressions provide harmonic structure and direction to a musical composition.
• Understanding chord progressions is crucial for composing tonal music.


  True
• Chromatic chord progressions create tension and instability.


  True
• Understanding Roman numeral notation is crucial for identifying chord relationships.

  True
• Chord progressions can create tension and resolution through the movement of chords.


  True
• Match the chord progression type with its description:

  Diatonic ↔️ Built on the notes of a major or minor scale

  Chromatic ↔️ Includes notes outside the key
• Understanding chord progressions is crucial for analyzing, composing, and performing tonal music
• Diatonic chord progressions provide a stable and tonal foundation.


  True
• Chord progressions establish tonality, key center, and create tension and resolution
• Match the chord progression type with its description:

  Diatonic ↔️ Chords built on the notes of a major or minor scale

  Functional ↔️ Chords establishing tonal center through dominant-tonic relationships
• Chord progressions provide harmonic structure and direction to a musical composition.
• Chord progressions create tension and resolution through chord movement.


  True
• What type of chord progression uses only notes of the major or minor scale?

  Diatonic
• Functional chord progressions use dominant-tonic relationships to establish a tonal center.


  True
• Match the chord progression type with its key characteristic:

  Diatonic ↔️ Stable, tonal foundation

  Chromatic ↔️ Tension and instability

  Functional ↔️ Strong sense of tonality

  Modulating ↔️ Harmonic movement and ambiguity
• Chromatic chord progressions create tension that can lead to modulation.

  True
• What example is given to illustrate a functional chord progression?

  I-IV-V-I
• What does Roman numeral notation allow musicians to understand without referencing specific key signatures?

  Chord progressions
• In the key of C major, what does the chord progression I-IV-V-I represent in Roman numeral notation?

  C major - F major - G major - C major
• The Roman numeral I corresponds to the tonic scale degree.
• The chord progression I-V-vi-IV is a popular progression that provides a strong sense of tonality.


  True
• The dominant function in tonal music is created by the V
• What is the role of the dominant chord in a chord progression?

  Creates harmonic tension
• The most basic and tonally stable progression is I-V-I
• Which chord in the ii-V-I progression creates the most tension?

  V
• The IV-V-I progression moves from the subdominant to the dominant and resolves to the tonic


  True
• The predominant function in chord progressions builds tension before resolving to the dominant
• The dominant chord creates a strong pull towards the tonic


  True
• What role does the ii chord play in the ii-V-I progression?

  Builds harmonic tension
• Match the function with its role:

  Dominant ↔️ Creates tension, pulls toward I

  Predominant ↔️ Leads to V, builds tension
• What is the key difference between dominant and predominant functions?

  Dominant resolves tension
• Arrange the types of basic chord progressions in order of their reliance on specific relationships:

  1️⃣ Diatonic

  2️⃣ Functional
• A functional chord progression relies on dominant-tonic relationships


  True
• What is the function of the V chord in the I-V-I functional progression?

  Creates harmonic tension
• Why is Roman numeral analysis useful in understanding chord progressions?

  Identifies chord relationships
• Analyzing chord progressions using Roman numerals helps in understanding tonal harmony
