Pitch, Major Scales and Key Signatures, Rhythm, Meter, and Expressive Elements
How would you describe a shift from D minor to F major within a musical composition?
Sequential modulation involving an ascending whole tone.
Parallel modulation from tonic minor to relative major.
Relative modulation from tonic minor to tonic major.
Chromatic mediant relationship moving two thirds away.
If you are modulating from G major to D major in a composition, what is the pivot chord you could use that naturally occurs in both keys?
C major (IV of G major)
E minor (vi of G major)
A7 (V7 of D major)
B minor (iii of D major)
Which non-diatonic secondary function often precedes the dominant chord in a major key to intensify the resolution to tonic?
iv6 (minor subdominant with first inversion)
I6/4 (tonic pedal six-four)
V/V (secondary dominant of V)
vii°/ii (leading-tone diminished of ii)
In constructing a harmonic progression that modulates to the relative minor of the original key without using accidentals in the key signature, what would be the starting and ending key signatures if you begin in C Major?
Start in C Major (no sharps or flats) and end in D Minor (1 flat)
Start in C Major (no sharps or flats) and end in E Minor (1 sharp)
Start in C Major (no sharps or flats) and end in A Minor (no sharps or flats)
Start in C Major (no sharps or flats) and end in G Minor (2 flats)
Which correctly identifies compound interval made sharp fourth augmented fourth plus perfect fifth such found dominant seventh chords?
Denotes double octave term implying reach across two full scales equivalent exceeds requirement merely singular extended tertian harmonic construct
Designates minor thirteenth though might seem logical owing name size actuality misnomer given requisite steps distance exceed specified range
Response labels diminished twelfth notwithstanding same number semitones involved incorrect classification based interval quality starts faulty premise
Proper nomenclature refers doubly augmented eleventh encompassing wide span fact containing twelve half-steps exact
If a composer modulates from D major to B minor within a passage, which pitch is most likely to be altered in the key signature?
G will likely change to G#
A will likely change to A#
F# will likely change to F natural
C# will likely change to C natural
An ascending melodic line moves sequentially through these pitches starting on F#: G#, A#, B, C#, D, E, F#. What key with four sharps best fits these notes?
f sharp MAJOR
E MAJOR
b MINOR
c sharp MINOR
