Chord Function, Cadence, and Phrase
In four-part writing, which type of motion involves voices moving in the same direction by different intervals?
Parallel motion
Similar motion
Oblique motion
Contrary motion
Identify the type of motion between the following two chords: Chord 1 (C-E-G-C), Chord 2 (D-F-A-D). Soprano moves C to D, Alto moves E to F, Tenor moves G to A, Bass moves C to D.
Parallel Motion
Similar Motion
Oblique Motion
Contrary Motion
Which of the following best describes parallel fifths?
Moving to a perfect fifth from another perfect fifth in parallel motion.
Moving to a major third from another major third in parallel motion.
Moving to a minor third from another minor third in contrary motion.
Moving to a perfect fourth from another perfect fourth in contrary motion.
Which of the following examples contains parallel fifths? (Assume correct voice leading in other aspects)
C-G moving to D-A
C-G moving to E-B
C-E moving to D-F
C-E moving to G-B
In the following excerpt, the soprano and bass voices move from G4 to D5 and C3 to G3, respectively. How can this be corrected to avoid parallel fifths?
Change the bass voice to move C3 to E3.
Change the soprano voice to move G4 to E5.
Change the soprano voice to move G4 to F5.
Change the bass voice to move C3 to A3.
In a major key, how should the leading tone typically resolve?
Down by a half step
Up by a half step
Down by a whole step
Up by a whole step
In the key of C major, a B4 in the soprano voice is followed by a C5. Is this correct?
Yes, because the leading tone always resolves up by a half step.
No, because the leading tone should resolve down by a half step.
Yes, because the leading tone can resolve downwards in inner voices.
No, because the leading tone should resolve up by a whole step.
