What is a harmonic sequence?
A pattern of chords repeated at different pitch levels.
Define a descending harmonic sequence.
Each repetition moves down by some interval.
Define an ascending harmonic sequence.
Each repetition moves up by some interval.
What is 'Monte' in harmonic sequences?
An ascending harmonic sequence that builds tension.
What is 'Fonte' in harmonic sequences?
A descending harmonic sequence that creates resolution.
What is 'Ponte' in harmonic sequences?
A harmonic sequence delaying resolution, often on the dominant.
Descending 5ths are equivalent to what?
Ascending 4ths.
Descending 3rds are equivalent to what?
Ascending 6ths.
What is the function of a 'Monte' sequence?
Builds tension, often leading to a climax.
What is the function of a 'Fonte' sequence?
Creates a sense of resolution and stability.
What is the function of a 'Ponte' sequence?
Increases tension by delaying a cadence.
