Section 3: Cadence NotesCadences are harmonic, melodic and rhythmic conclusions to phrases. They can be used to reinforce the key (tonic) and are a resting place in the music.
Tendency tones are seen in cadences and suspensions, they resolve by half step (semitone) to resolution tones. The tendency is the tension while the resolution tone is the release. Some tendency tones are scale degrees 4 and 7. Some resolution tones are scale degrees 3 and 1(8). The function of scale degrees and chords are divided into 3 main categories:
Typically cadences follow a Tonic - Predominant - Dominant - Tonic progression or I - IV- V - I Types of cadences: 1. Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC)
2. Imperfect Authentic Cadence (IAC)
3. Plagal Cadence (PC)
4. Deceptive Cadence (DC)
5. Half Cadence (HC)
6. Phrygian Half Cadence (PHC)
Extensions to Cadences A very common cadential progression is Tonic - Predominant - Dominant - Tonic One way to extend this cadence is through a dominant extension. The cadential 6/4 (a 2nd inversion I chord) functions as a dominant chord rather than a tonic. It can be written as I6/4 or C6/4. The extended progression would look like I - IV- I6/4 - V - I. |
