Make diminished triads out of the following major triads by lowering the third and fifth by a half step. Each of the following notes is the fifth of what diminished triad? Chord Symbols Chords are often expressed with chord symbols. Chord symbols are usually made up of a letter that indicates the note that the chord is built on, and other symbols that indicate additional notes in the chord.
If there is no other symbol, the chord is major. Chord symbols may be written many different ways. Analyze each triad by writing its chord symbol. Triads and Chord Symbols Exercises, Lessons 37— Triads and Chord Symbols 1.
Write the following triads. Analyze each triad with its chord symbol name. Write the chord symbol above the chord. Listen to the major and minor triad.
Then, identify each example as either a major or minor triad. Listen to the minor and diminished triad. Then, identify each example as either a minor or diminished triad. Listen to the major and augmented triad. Then, identify each example as either a major or augmented triad. Listen to each triad. Then, identify each example as a major, minor, diminished, or augmented triad.
Triad Inversions Lesson Triad Inversions 9 Triads built upwards in thirds from the root are said to be in root position. The individual notes of a triad can be rearranged inverted so that the third or fifth is on the bottom. Complete the inv. The first 3. In harmony, a chord is considered to be in root position as long as the root is the bass, regardless of the positioning of the rest of the notes in the chord.
The bass is usually notated in bass clef. Chord members within the same octave are said to be in close position. Again, chords are considered to be in root position as long as the root is in the bass. All of these chords, whether close or open, are in root position. Complete the harmony by adding the root of each chord in the bass. Rewrite the following close-position chords in open position by reversing the top and bottom notes.
Notate all three notes on the treble staff. Rewrite the following open-position chords in close position by reversing the top and bottom notes. Add the bass to complete the harmony of these open-position chords. The goal of voice leading is to have each voice move as little as possible in a melodically interesting way from chord to chord.
To voice lead a chord progression, first look for the common tone—a note found in two successive chords. Keeping common tones in the same voice is referred to as commontone voice leading.
Common tones are highlighted here:? The bass plays the root of the chord, and moves independently of the upper voices. Voice Leading bw w 1. Write out the movement of the middle voice voice 2 from the voice-leading example on page 12, both voice-led and not voice-led. Write out the movement voice-led. Voice lead the following chords, observing the common-tone principle. Open-Position Voice Leading and Chorale Notation Chords are sometimes notated in chorale notation, which places the two higher voices in the treble clef and the two lower voices in the bass clef.
To easily distinguish the voices, the stems of the higher voices in each clef go upward and the stems of the lower voices go downward. Rewrite these chords in chorale notation. Voice leading open-position chords works the same way as close-position: find the common tone, and keep it in the same voice.
Voice lead the following openposition chords, observing the common-tone principle. Use chorale notation. This movement is known as contrary motion. A more contemporary sound, as found in pop and jazz, is parallel motion, in which voices move in the same direction as the bass. Either way, each voice should move to the next closest position. Move the upper voices as indicated. Each example moves from an F major to a G major triad. Voice lead the following chords. Use the common-tone principle when available, and contrary or parallel as indicated, when not.
Voice lead the following chords, first in parallel motion to the bass, then in contrary motion. Inversions and Voice Leading Exercises, Lessons 42— Inversions and Voice Leading 1.
Voice lead this progression of triads from the starting position shown. Follow the common-tone principle, but use contrary motion if there is no common tone between chords.
Voice lead this progression of triads using chorale notation from the starting position shown. Analyze each chord with its chord symbol name. Listen to the demonstration triads.
Major 7 Chords Lesson Major 7 Chords 17 Seventh 7 chords are four-part chords built upwards in thirds from a root. The major 7 Maj7 chord includes the root, third, fifth, and seventh of a major scale. Each note functions as described by its corresponding scale degrees: root, 3, 5, 7. Build a major 7 chord upwards from each given note. Analyze each chord with a chord symbol.

Hint: Some are major 7, some are dominant 7. Minor 7 Chords Lesson Minor 7 Chords 19 The minor 7 chord min7 can be formed by lowering the third of the dominant 7 by a half step.
Build a minor 7 chord upwards from each given note. Hint: Some are minor 7, some are dominant 7. Minor 7 b 5 Chords 20 The minor 7 b5 chord [symbol min7 b5 ], also known as the half-diminished, can be formed by lowering the fifth of the minor 7 chord by a half step.

Lead sheets are commonly used at informal 'jam sessions' and at jazz shows at small nightclubs and bars. The melody, lyrics, and harmony define what a song is. In the music industry and entertainment law, a lead sheet is the document used to describe a song for legal purposes.
For example, a lead sheet is the form of a song to which copyright is applied—if a songwriter sues someone for copyright violation, the court will compare lead sheets to determine how much of the song has been copied. A predecessor to lead sheets was created in May when George Goodwin, a radio station director, released the first Tune-Dex cards. Printing on 3-byinch 7. For many years the 'standard' fake books were called simply 'Fake Books'.
All were composed of songs illegally printed, with no royalties paid to the copyright owners. In , the FBI's Cleveland, Ohio, office observed that 'practically every professional musician in the country owns at least one of these fake music books as they constitute probably the single most useful document available'. The first two volumes, Fake Book Volume 1 and Fake Book Volume 2 , issued in the late s and s, together comprised about songs dating from the turn of the 20th century through the late s.
The music in Fake Books 1 , 2 , and 3 was photocopied or reset with a musical typewriter from the melody lines of the original sheet music. Usually chord symbols, titles, composer names, and lyrics were typewritten, but for a number of songs these were all photocopied along with the melody line. The chord changes in these books were notoriously inaccurate. Thus, successfully using the Fake Books required the expertise of jazz musicians and others trained in functional harmony in order to reinterpret the chord symbols.
The three Fake Books were well indexed, alphabetically as well as by musical genre and Broadway show. Although the tunes in the Fake Books were compiled illegally, the creators printed copyright information under every song — perhaps to give the false impression that the Fake Books were legal, or to show respect for the creators.
