In this it closely resembles the [[passacaglia]]. It originates and was particularly popular in the [[Baroque music\|Baroque era]]; a large number of Chaconnes exist from the [[List of 17th-century chaconnes\|17th-]] and [[List of 18th-century chaconnes\|18th- centuries]]. The ground bass, if there is one, may typically descend stepwise from the [[Tonic (music)\|tonic]] to the [[Dominant (music)\|dominant]] pitch of the [[Scale (music)\|scale]]; the harmonies given to the upper parts may emphasize the [[circle of fifths]] or a derivative pattern thereof.
