Term
The ____ __ ___ ______ (___) allies the Harmonic model to the bass voice generating specific harmonies and inversions for each note of the scale.
Definition
Rule of the Octave (RoO)
Term
The ____ __ ___ ______ (___) is a fixed harmonization for ascending and descending scales that dictates harmonies and inversions that are to be used for each degree of the scale.
Definition
Rule of the Octave (RoO)
Term
Cadence
Definition
the conclusion or punctuation point in a musical phrase; the formula upon which such a conclusion is based
Term
Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC) (also called authentic, final, full, or closed)
Melodic motion?
Definition
Soprano: 7-1 or 2-1
Term
Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC) (also called authentic, final, full, or closed)
Harmonic motion?
Definition
Root position V-I
Bass: 5-1
Term
Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC) (also called authentic, final, full, or closed)
Function?
Definition
Reserved for the end of a phrase, a period, or the end of a piece. They are the most conclusive cadence.
Term
Imperfect Authentic Cadence (IAC)
Melodic motion?
Definition
Soprano: 2-3, 4-3, or 5-5.
Term
Imperfect Authentic Cadence (IAC)
Harmonic motion?
Definition
V-I or V-i.
Most often in root position, but V may be inverted.
Term
Imperfect Authentic Cadence (IAC)
Function?
Definition
Often appear internally in phrase groups. When scale degrees other than the tonic appear in the soprano voice, the cadence is less conclusive than PAC.
Term
Half Cadence (HC)
Phrygian Half Cadence
Melodic motion?
Definition
2 or 5 are common at the chord of the resolution
Term
Half Cadence (HC)
Phrygian Half Cadence

Definition
Any chord leading to the V of the key (x-V). Phrygian half cadence uses iv6-V in a minor key. Half-step (Bass: b6-5) gives the cadence its name.
Term
Half Cadence (HC)

Function?
Definition

Definition
No specific requirement. Soprano is often 1.
Term
Plagal Cadence
(Plagal)
Harmonic motion?
Definition
IV-I or iv-i
Plagal cadences may employ root position or inverted chords
Term
Plagal Cadence
(Plagal)
Function?
Definition
May embellish the final arrival of the tonic. "Amen" cadence. Considered less conclusive than PAC or IAC.
Term
Deceptive Cadence (DEC)
Sometimes called Interrupted
Melodic motion?
Definition
Tones of V or V7 resolve as if going to I except bass 5-6
Term
Deceptive Cadence (DEC)
Sometimes called Interrupted
Harmonic motion?
Definition
V-vi or V-VI
Deceptive resolution of V-vi usually employs root position chords (Bass: 5-6 or 5-b6)
Term
Deceptive Cadence (DEC)
Sometimes called Interrupted
Function?
Definition
The unexpected resolution from V to vi/VI gives the cadence its name. DEC often precede IAC or PAC interrupting the arrival of the Tonic chord.
Term
___ are any authentic cadence (V-I/i) that does not follow the PAC formula.
Definition
IAC
Term
When the _______ ____ (_) is an outer voice (soprano or bass) it must always be resolved to the tonic (1).

Distribute the notes of a chord on the staff so that there is an ______ or less between adjacent Soprano, Alto, and Tenor voices.
Definition
octave
Term
The interval between Bass and Tenor may exceed an ______.
Definition

Term
Open voicing
Definition
an octave or less between adjacent voices, and more than an octave between an octave
Term

Term
The interval between Bass and Tenor may exceed an ______.
Definition
octave
Term

Definition
an octave or less between adjacent voices, and more than an octave between an octave

Term
The interval between the bass and tenor often exceeds an ______.
Definition
octave
Term

two
Term
If the interval between adjacent voices exceeds an ______, whenever possible re-voice the chord by "switching"chord members between voices.
Definition
octave
Term
Three types of motion
Definition
Contrary, parallel/similar. oblique
Term
Contrary motion
Definition
Voices move in opposite directions (ascending or descending); preferred in most cases; in particular between outer voices (soprano bass)
Term
Oblique motion
Definition
On voices moves against a stationary note. Used when chords share common tones and frequently at cadence.
Term
Similar motion
Definition
When voices move in the same direction, by the same interval (parallel); or same direction, by a different interval (similar).
Term
Avoid ________ motion when approaching or leaving perfect intervals.
Definition
parallel
Term
________ (stepwise) motion is preferred for note-to-note connections in one voice.
