The VII chord consists of a minor third and a diminished fifth from the root.
As this chord upon the leading tone is imperfect, i.e., the only chord with a
diminished fifth, and is included in and used as the seventh-chord built upon the
dominant, it is not considered, by most theorists, as an independent triad.
A chord is major or minor according to the size of its third.

When the V chord progresses to the I cliord as in (a) the root V in the bass
progresses an harmonic step to the I; the 7th degree in the soprano progresses to
the 8th; the 5th degree, which is a rest tone, remains stationary; the 2nd degree
progresses to the 3rd.
In the progression IV to I, as in (b), the root IV in the bass goes to the I;
the 6th degree in the soprano to the 5th; the 4th degree to the 3rd; the ist
degree remains at rest.
In the progression IV to V, the root of the IV progresses harmonically to
the root of the V; the 6th degree in the soprano moves to the 5th; the 4th degree,
which must resolve down, moves to the 2nd, as there is no 3rd degree in the V
chord; the 8th degree moves to the 7th.

Lesson

i.

Section A.

Learn the arrangement of the chord roots in the harmonic series.


Construct melodies, phrases in length, in 6/8 meter, using the I, V and
IV chords as a basis for the melody. Employ any of the following rhythms:
(1)

(2)

J-

;J

J);JT3iJ J? JJJJJJ

In writing a melody, using chords as a basis, first divide the staff into
measures and place the chord symbols underneath, one chord for each pulse.
The choice of chords is determined by the harmonic law.
A chord may be repeated within a measure, but not over the bar,
A phrase when regular will begin with the I chord on the accented or unaccented pulse and will end with the I chord on an accented pulse of the fourth
measure, preceded by the V chord. This is an Authentic Cadence. If the final
I chord is in the position of the octave, a Perfect Authentic Cadence results; if in the
position of the third or fifth, the cadence is known as Imperfect Authentic. A phrase
generally ends with a Perfect Authentic Cadence.
A melody may follow the line of a scale up or down. In working from an
harmonic basis the melody will move along the scale-line from some tone of the
chord on the pulse. Not all the tones of the scale will be found in this chord.
The tones which come between the tones of the chord are called Passing-Tones,
and do not affect the harmony.
At any time the melody may stop and embellish a tone of the chord by progressing to the tone a half-step or whole step above or below.
These tones are
known as Neighboring Tones, and do not affect the harmony. Neighboring tones
must always return to the principal tone and may never jump, unless from the
upper to the lower neighbor or the reverse.
All skips, single or consecutive, must occur between tones of the chord.
Occasionally a skip may be made to a neighbor; the neighbor must immediately
resolve to the principal tone.
For example, divide the staff into four measures.

As these melodies are to be


have two chords in each measure but the last. The phrase
may end on the first or second pulse of the fourth measure as it is a compound
meter.
On the first pulse we may have a I chord and repeat it for the second;
on the third the V and its resolution on the fourth; then the IV, which may go
either to the V or 1.
In the following example the IV will move to the V on
account of the cadence.

Absolute Intervals.

In sight-singing there is no need of thinking the interval name or the size


made, as long as the key is known. It is only when this feeling of
key has been broken down by unusual skips or a modulation that a knowledge
of how to sing absolute or unrelated intervals is needed, and then only until
the tonality has been reestablished. The position of intervals on the staff and
in the major scale, also of what chords they are a part, must be known so that
they may be quickly recognized and sung.
There are major 3rds on the staff from c-e, f-a, g-b; in the major scale from
1-3, 4-6, 5-7; in the I, V, II, IV, VI and III chords.
To sing a major 3rd up, make the lower tone i and sing 3; to sing a major
3rd down, make the upper tone 3 and sing i.

As 6/8 is a Duple Metre, each pulse divided into triplets, beat two to a measure and intone the rhythms. The rhythmic subdivision must be felt and sung

In singing any rhythmic subdivision there is a feeling of relaxation

Each group should be mentally conceived as a figure before
singing, the eye taking in as a unit the figure on each pulse and not each individual note.

regular, consists of two phrases, each usually four measures


the Antecedent Phrase, the second the Consequent Phrase. A
period begins as any phrase, but the antecedent phrase ends with some tone of the
V chord, 5, 7 or 2. This gives the effect of being incomplete and makes a Semicadence.
The consequent phrase ends with the i or 8, a Perfect Authentic
Cadence.
A period is in Parallel Coristruction when at least the first measure of the
antecedent and that of the consequent phrase are alike, as Alelody 3,
Section B (3). (Page 18.)
A period is in Contrasting Construction when the antecedent and consequent
phrases are different, as Melody 2, Section B (3).
Melodies are constructed in the Minor Mode the same as in the Major Mode,
the Minor Mode being formed from the Major by lowering the 3rd and 6th
degrees of the Major.

In Exercises 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, in C major, the IV chord is used. The IV chord


is major in sound, and is an active chord because its root is the first harmonic
tone below the Tonic and two of its upper voices are active tones in the melodic
series.
The IV chord resolves into the I, or it m.ay progress into the V. It is
distinguishable from the V chord because it sounds lower and farther from the
I; it impresses the ear as if another chord could be played before its resolution
into the I.
It is impossible to think a chord between the V and I.
Practise these Exercises as follows:
Play each exercise, determining
(a)

if

the chords are active or at

When

the measure begins on the secondary pulse in 6/8 meter, avoid stressing the first group. Always feel the first figure as an inhalation of the breath,
and the next, on the stressed pulse, as an exhalation. Feel the grouping as
indicated by brackets in Ex. i.
The value and rhythmic beauty of beginning on the secondary pulse in a com-

pound meter
it is

is

most apparent

in the setting of words.

With

this

understanding

easily applied to instrumental music.

In setting words to music, the composer has to endeavor to parallel the


forms of English with the forms in music, i.e., a simple sentence corresponds to a
phrase in music, a compound sentence to a period in music. The meter, whether
simple or compound, is decided by the number of long syllables in the complete
thought of the text. If there are four long syllables the meter is duple or triple;
if

there are eight long syllables it is a compound, a four or six pulse meter.
A four pulse meter is a duple meter with each pulse divided into

half

tnn
a six pulse meter, a duple meter with each pulse divided into triplets. The stress
which is given to the third pulse of a four pulse meter and to the fourth pulse

meter is known as a secondary accent. This is in reality the second or relaxed pulse of the duple meter and should not receive any more stress
than that pulse. The tendency in playing and singing in compound meter is
to give too much stress on the secondary pulse, thus changing the meter to a
simple meter and making two phrases where one was intended.
Mendelssohn, in the "Elijah," in setting the following sentence begins on
of a six pulse

the third pulse in 4/4 meter:

Have each melody dictated as outlined on page 19.

Note. When there are consecutive skips in the same direction, do not think the separate tones, but
analyze the chord. In Ex. 1, the third measure, the leaps down from the 3rd degree must be in the VI
chord. In a melody like Ex. 6, third measure, do not try to remember the pitches; analyze as a scale
from the Sth degree for six sixteenths ending on the next pulse.

as outlined

on page

On

hearing the V^ inversions, you will determine first that it is a V^ chord;


that it is inverted, because of the diatonic progression of the voices; that it is a
Vi because the I fundamental follows, or a V3 because the I^ follows. The \ J
affects the ear as contracting when it resolves; the V3 as expanding.

The minor 7th and major

2nd, augmented 4th and diminished 5th in the V^


chord are the same in minor as in major. There is also an augmented 4th and
diminished 5th in the II chord in minor, caused by the lowering of the 6th degree.
The augmented 4th is from the 5th to the root of the chord, the 6th to the 2nd
degrees of the scale, and the diminished 5th from the root to the 5th of the chord,
the 2nd to the 6th degrees of the scale.

Lesson

The IF chord Is formed by adding a third to the II triad. It is a minor


discord because of the minor 3rd from the root to the 3rd of the chord, the 2nd
to the 4th degrees of the scale, and the minor 7th from the root to the 7th of the
chord, the 2nd to the 8th degree of the scale;

^
W

When the 8th degree of the scale is the 7th of a chord, it becomes an active
tone and resolves downward to the 7th degree, as all 7ths of chords contract.
The IF chord may follow any chord but the V, and is followed by the V"^ or
the 1 2.

Rhythmic Study.

Irregular

Rhythms

in 2/4

and

Rhythm Is irregular when the shorter notes occupy the accented or stressed
portions of the measure.
The metric stress is still on the first pulse, but as the
rhythmic motion stops on the longer note, that note is brought into prominence
and acquires an accent. This is known as a Rhythmic Accent. Care should be
taken not to stress this longer note, as it has stress on account of its length, and
that stress combined with the rhythmic accent would give a sforzando.
In setting the following lines, Mr. Johnstone has used duple meter and these

CHAPTER

IV

CHROMATICALLY ALTERED CHORDS


The pitch of the ist, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th degrees of the major scale may be
chromatically raised a half-tone, and the 2nd and 6th degrees chromatically
lowered a half-tone, without disturbing the feeling of the tonality.
In using the scale-line these inflections must progress chromatically as chromatic passing-tones, never diatonically, or a modulation will occur: 3 4 :|^4 5 or

#4

t]4 3,

not

#4

or

#4

3r t t

EC

In minor, the 2nd and 5th degrees are not raised because of the lowered 3rd
and 6th degrees. The 6th degree is raised in the melodic progression from the
6th to the 7th degree, and the 7th degree is lowered in the melodic progression
from the 7th to the 6th degree.
In skips, single or consecutive, the altered tones must be part of a chord.

Play the entire first period and sing from memory.


Study the second period in the same way.
Transpose to the keys of C, D, A and G major.
Have each melody dictated as outlined on page 87.

In all wide or consecutive skips, it is most important to remember the tone


jumped from. In Ex. i, measure 7, you hear chord-line from the 3rd degree
down for three tones, then a skip back to the same tone. In that way you do

not have to think of the large skip.

Ex. 3, measure 6 and 7, if the pitch of *'f"


remembered there is no difficulty in recognizing the "etj". In Ex. 4, measure
3,
remember *'f," which will recur in 4; meas. 4, "d," which will recur in 5; meas.
5, "et^" and "c," so as to get the "eb" and "c" following.

Lesson

i6

In a melody the raised 2nd degree is used as a chromatic passing-tone between


the 2nd and 3rd degrees and the 3rd and 2nd degrees.
In progressing from
the 3rd to the 2nd degree, the progression is often written 3, lowered 3 and 2.
It will be found simpler and much less confusing in both harmonic and melodic
relations in major to use the raised 2nd, never the lowered 3rd degree, as this is
the characteristic tone of the minor mode.

CtlAPTER V

MODULATION AND EMBELLISHMENT


Modulation Is the process of progressing from one key or mode to another.
Modulations to the keys of the Dominant, Subdominant, the Relative Minor
and the relative minor keys of the Dominant and Subdominant are most used;
Modulations
these are easily made because of the common tones and chords.
to these keys are known as Next-Related Modulations.

The

next-related keys are those on either side of a


the
circle of keys, and have one accidental more
key In
or less in the signature.

Gi>Fl

In modulating, it Is best to leave the key with the I chord on an accented


pulse of the meter and to begin the new key with any chord but the I on an
unaccented pulse of the meter.

Lesson

17

Modulation to the Dominant Key and back Is bv the V^ or a common chord;


e.g., the I chord of C Is the_IY. chord of G; the V chord of C Is the I chord of G;
the VI chord of C Is the Il^chord of G; the III c hord of C Is the^YLchord of G.

In Section B, Ex. i, the first three chords establish the key of C major. The

first chord in the second measure Is the I chord of C major, because it is the
resolution of the preceding V chord.
The next chord, though Identical with the
preceding chord, is the IV chord of
major, as it resolves Into the I2 chord over
the bar. The same type of modulation is made from
back to C In the second
phrase. In Ex. 2, the first chord In the consequent phrase is either the I of C or
the V of G. In Ex. 3, the key of
begins with the V^: the I of C preceding Is the
IV of G. The consequent phrase begins with the V^ of C. In Ex. 4, the second
chord of the second measure is the Ii of C, the resolution of the \\ chord, and at

augmented 2nds in the major scale from b6-7, S-itz, 5-^6; in the minor scale
from 6-7, 3-:tt4- A diminished 7th sounds the same as a major 6th and is sung
up and down as the major 6th. The augmented 2nd sounds the same as a
minor 3rd, and is sung as the minor 3rd.
(a)

Sing a diminished 7th up and an augmented 2nd down from the

Note. There will be trouble at first in hearing the numbers of the soprano, especially if the early
training in music has been to sing the same numbers for the relative minor and major keys.
It is only by
constant practice and mental drill that this will be corrected.

Modulations to keys other than the next related keys are known

as Extraneous

Modulations.

Extraneous modulations may be made by passing through the next related


major and minor keys in the cycle of keys. There must be at least two chords
In Exercise i of Section B (i) the
in each key to establish the modulations.
modulations are from Ab to Eb, then to Bb, going back to Ab through c minor.
In Exercise 3 from Ab to f minor, Eb to g minor, Bb, Eb, and back to AbIn a melody, skips are made to and from the raised 4th and lowered 6th
degrees in the lll^^ chord. The scale-line, or skips in the IF, V^ or I2 chord,

Exercises for Melodic Dictation:

Note.

Play the I, VI, IV, IVJ, I2, 11^,,,, I^, V#, I, chords of E major.
Read each exercise mentally, noting where each modulation occurs

and the skips in the IIJ^,, chord.


In each melody sing the last four or five notes in the key before the
modulation; then the first few in the new key; first to la, thinking
the number-names, then singing the number-names.
Sometimes a measure may apparently belong to either the preceding or the following
key.

but the context generally determines which key. In Melody 1, the first
measure in the second phrase
could be they chord in either c# mmor or E major. But as the next
measure is undoubtedly the I chord
in cff mmor, it is the V chord of the same key.

(g)

In each melody take the skips in the IIJ^, chord, i.e.,


#4 to b6,
#2 to b6, #2 to #4 to b6, and contrast them with the unaltered
form of the chord.
Play the antecedent phrase twice. Sing from memory to la; sing
mentally the number-, then the letter-names. Sing both aloud.
Practise the other phrases in the same way.
Transpose to the keys of A, B, C,

Lesson 24
Instead of passing through each successive key in the circle of keys when
modulating to a remote key, the process may be shortened by making the I chord
of any major key the V chord of a minor key, i.e., the I of C major becomes the
V of f minor, thus covering four harmonic degrees. Also the I of a minor key
may be the IV\} of a major key, i.e., the I of f minor may be treated as the IVb
of C major.
This process of modulation is known as the Modulatory Stride.

Play the I, VIJ#, V^, I chords of
major.
Read each exercise
mentally, noting where the modulations occur and the skips in
the Vi; chord.

(b)

In each melody sing the last four or five notes in the key before the
modulation, then the first few in the new key, first to la, thinking
the number-names, then singing the number-names.

'^^^ Stride is used in Melody 1 at the beginning of the third phrase which starts with the I

of A major, which is transformed to the V chord of d minor.
Again, in the last phrase, second

Lesson

25

In a melody a note which is retained by a tie, or is repeated from the preceding pulse and resolves diatonically down, rarely up, is a suspension. This
tone is felt to be a part of the chord on the preceding pulse and to stand in place

of the tone into which

it

resolves.

J-rJ J^j

T=y

may

be used as a passing-tone between the


6th and the 7th degrees, or the 7th and 6th degrees. Skips may be made to and
from the raised 6th degree in the VI^jj chord. The raised 6th degree is always
chord. The scale-line, or skips in the

Sing the skips in the VI^jj chord, first in the unaltered form, then
with the raised 6th and 1st degrees. Do the same with the skips
in the other altered chords.
Note the suspensions and sing the two tones that make the suspension, first without the tie, i.e., placing the second tone on the
accent, then as written.
Contrast several times until the effect is
mentally grasped.
Play the antecedent phrase twice. Sing from memory to la, sing
mentally the number-, then the letter-names. Sing both aloud.
Practise the other phrases in the same way.

Lesson 30
Abrupt modulations may be made to any key by retaining and using as a
pivot a tone common to both keys. This is known as Pivotal Modulation. In
Exercise i, Section B (i), the ist degree of c minor becomes the 4th of
major;
the 3rd degree of
major becomes the 5th of E major. In Exercise 2 the C
in the soprano, the 8th degree in c minor, becomes the leading-tone of Db; the
Db in the soprano, the 1st degree of Db, enharmonically changes to C# and
becomes the 7th degree of d minor.
In minor the 6th degree is raised in the ascending form of the melodic scale,

and

Lesson 32

composition often divides into sections which vary in length from a phrase
to a double period or a series of phrases. These sections are known as Parts.
When two of these parts are used, the second answering and a complement of
the first part, the form is known as a Two-Part Song-Form. The parts of a Twopart Song-form may be of any length, though rarely shorter than a period, and
more often a double period. The cadence at the end of the first part of a

ADVANCED EAR-TRAINING AND SIGHT-SINGING

303

song-form beginning in major will be a perfect authentic cadence in the key, or


heavy cadence in the key of the dominant; if beginning in minor, it will be
an authentic cadence in the relative key.

^^

The Two-part Song-form resembles and is hard to distinguish from the contrasting double period, the difference being that the cadence at the end of a part
is heavier than that at the end of the first period.
Many hymn-tunes and
popular songs are written in this form.

When

three parts are used, the composition is known as a Three-Part SongForm. In the Three-part Song-form the third part is always an exact or modified
repetition of the first part.
This is the most common construction in all art
forms. The aria da capo, most songs and short piano pieces are written in this
form. The cadence at the end of the first part is the same as in the two-part
song-form; the cadence at the end of the second part is generally a perfect authentic cadence in the key of the dominant or dominant harmony in the key;
the cadence at the end of the third part is a perfect authentic cadence in the key.

Section C.

Rhythmic Drill. Five Pulse Measure.


meter Is generally the result of combining a duple and a triple
meter. The duple and triple measure are signified either by the beaming, by
the slurs, or by dotted bars dividing the measure.
The Tschalkowsky example combines a duple and a triple measure. In 5
and 6 Debussy draws a dotted bar to show the division. In 7, Elgar shows the
measure by the beaming.
