     All marked in 3-4

Ask people to come to board and build various 7th chords now

Review questions
     What is a chord anyway?
     What does tertian mean?
     What's a triad?
     What's a seventh chord?
     What's inversion when we're talking about chords?
     What are the four basic triad types?
     Systematically, let's figure out all the 7th chord types and then circle the common ones (MM, Mm, mm, dm, dd)

Figured bass review
     What figured bass tells us
          Pitch classes above the bass note (not above the root, necessarily)
          Refers to intervals above the bass note
     Limitations
          Compound intervals are typically reduced in F.B.
          Doublings usually not indicated
     Miscellaneous points
          If there are no accidentals in the F.B., it indicates diatonic pitch classes above the bass
          F.B. often leaves out assumed intervals above the bass

CHAPTER 6:  ROOT POSITION PART WRITING

HW 7 due Fri.
     Marked ones in Chapter 6 of workbook
     Ask me questions about it Wed.

Pass up extra-credit questions on chapter and let's discuss
   
Why is four-part writing important?
     Basic vocabulary of tonal harmony consists of triads and 7th chords--that would cover all the pitches
     As you will discover, extended tertian harmonies are adequately represented by 4 pitches
     Mastery of 4-part writing should allow us to extrapolate its principles to other textures
     4-part writing prominent in general
          SATB
          Quartets

Basic considerations to keep in mind
     Many already considered in Chapter 5
          Contour, focal point, leaps, tendency tones, structure, spacing, ranges, parallels and related (direct, by contrary motion,  
               unequal 5ths), crossing--questions on any of these concepts?

Most important partwriting (when moving from chord to chord) principles to keep in general
     Retain common tones (from same voice to same voice) if possible
     Maintain conjunct motion if possible (from same voice to same voice)
          Not so important in bass
     Some contrary motion is preferable
     Correct doubling (to be discussed)
     Don't double leading tone (or the other tendency tone or chromatic pitches)
          What's the implication here for iio and viio?
               Rarely in root position

Root position partwriting with repeated roots
     Retain common root pitch class in bass
     However, you have to leap in some of the upper voices if you want any kind of a change at all--use smallest leaps possible
          (3rds and 4ths)
     Pretty straight forward
  
Root position partwriting with roots a 5th or a 4th apart
     Book gives you a bunch of conventions--just remember
          Retain common tones (from same voice to same voice) if possible
          Maintain conjunct motion if possible (from same voice to same voice)
          Some contrary motion is preferable

CLASS EXERCISE:  Make up examples of chord progressions that combine all root movements
     Ask class for chord progression
          They don't know chord progression yet but lead them through the exercise
          Put up all root position R.N.'s
     Let's partwrite it correctly now
          Someone come up and write all the roots
          As a class let's come up with a melodic line
          Ask each person for what notes now to fill in the inner voices for each harmony
          Play it
     What may be lacking
          Good melody--probably need more time to construct a good one
          Inversions to help smooth out the partwriting

CHAPTER 8:  TRIADS IN FIRST INVERSION

Pass up extra-credit questions on chapter and let's discuss

HW 10
     Due Friday, ask questions Wed.
     8-1 A 1, D 1, E 1, H 2 (4 parts)

Memorize doubling rules for first inversion triads on p. 131 (Figure 8-10) WORD FOR WORD in order of preference--this is a 
     memorization alert

Why triads in first inversion (why not all root position)?
     To create a more melodically interesting bass line
     Bass arpeggiation of static harmony
     Substitution for a root position triad, once again, to improve the bass line
     To lessen the impact of non-goal harmonies
     Parallel 6th chords technique
          Discuss Exx. 8-8 and 8-9
               Play it
               Note non-functional analysis
     Acceptable use of diminished triads in this style calls for first inversion because it is the only configuration which avoids the
          tritone above the bass

One instance to avoid is V-vi6 (check out Ex 8-6)

If time, go over unassigned workbook exercises

     9-1.A 1 (don't forget to label key)--play CD
     9-1 C 1 and 3  (don't forget to label key in analysis)
          Just analyze with RNs and 6/4 types except for #3, do partwriting in that one too


Pass up extra-credit questions on chapter and let's discuss


Keep in mind that there are specific reasons as to why a triad appears in root position or inversion
     Which means you should have an explanation why you choose certain configurations in your own writing in this style
     These explanations can start "because it sounds good," but they must go beyond that

Arpeggiated, cadential, passing, pedal, neighbor

CHAPTER 10-CADENCES, PHRASES, AND PERIODS

Pass up extra-credit questions on chapter and let's discuss

P. 151 (ed. 5) has good chart to memorize (it's a memorization alert)

Cadence types
     PAC
          V - I or V7 - I
          In major or minor
          Do in sop on tonic
          That's it!
          Most final sounding
          Demonstrate with Ex. 10-1 (set up key first)
     IAC-3 types
          Root position IAC--demonstrate with Ex. 10-2
          Inverted IAC--demonstrate with  Ex. 10-3
          LT IAC--demonstrate with Ex. 10-4
     Deceptive
          V to a non-tonic (most commonly submediant)
          Demonstrate with Ex. 10-5
     Half
          Penultimate chord doesn't contain LT
          Ultimate chord is not tonic (most typically V)
          Demonstrate with Ex. 10-6
          Phrygian half cadence-a special case
               iv6 - V (in minor only)
               Demonstrate with Ex. 10-7
     Plagal
          A chord with no LT (most typically, subdominant) to tonic
          "Amen" cadence
          Demonstrate with Ex. 10-8

Motives, phrases, and periods
     Motive
          P. 152 stuff
     Phrase
          Independent, longer than a motive typically, subjective
          Terminated by a cadence
          Use of small case letters for analysis
          Demonstrate with Ex. 10-9
               Break out motive first
               Show how phrase is terminated by cadence
          Elision
               EX. Joseph Haydn.  Symphony 101 in D major, IV (p. 166, M. 28 in Burkhart)
     Period
          Typically two phrases in an antecedent/consequent (stronger cadence) relationship
          Parallel period
               Explain
               Play Ex. 10-12
               Show how chords clarify cadence types, but also remind them how motivic features figure
               Show how to diagram
          Contrasting
               Explain
               Play Ex. 10-14
               Show how chords clarify cadence types, but also remind them how motivic features figure
               Show how to diagram
          Three-phrase period discussed on p. 159 (ed. 5)
               Explain
               Play Ex. 10-15
          Double
               Typically four phrases
               Cadence at end of second pair is stronger than cadence at end of first pair
               First half usually cannot stand alone as a period
               Classified as parallel or contrasting according to whether or not material is similar starting each half
               Show diagram on p.160 (ed. 5) and play Ex. 10-16

Burkhart examples:
     Parallel period:  p. 197, mm 1-8--Mozart K. 333, III
     Contrasting period:  p. 332--Chopin Prelude 20
     Parallel double period:  p. 189, mm 23-38--Mozart K. 333, I
     Contrasting double period: pp. 564-5--Bach, "Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir"

If time, do wkbk exercises
     For example:  10-1 A all
