Music Theory Fundamentals Website Project

The project explores various levels of music theory appreciation, catering to different learning stages from fundamental to advanced concepts. It begins with basic elements such as texture, melody, and rhythm, progressing through more complex topics like syncopation, meter, and beat.

Chromaticism

Chromatic harmonies

Voicing/Voice Leading

Open v. Closed Structures

phrase in relation to cadence

consequent phrase

ends on tonic

antecedent phrase

doesnt end on tonic

Plagal and deceptive avoid or follow a phrase ending cadence.

generally end on the authentiv or half cadence

are sections that an instrumetalist or singer can play or sing on one breath.

Cadence

four main types of cadence (divides according to harmonic progression)

deceptive cadence

half cadence

considered weak cadence

ends on V

plagal cadence

authentic cadence (V or a V7 to I)

Imperfect authentic cadence (IAC)

Evadence Cadence

because the seventh must fall stepwise it forces the cadence to resolve to a less stable first inversion chord

to achieve : the root position V must change to a V42 before resolution therby evading the cadence.

creates extention (V42 to I6)

Leading Tone IAC

the V chord is replaced with a viiio/sub V chord and still ends on I

Inverted IAC

one or both chords must be inverted

root position IAC

like PAC but the high voice (Soprano) does not contain root

Perfect authentic cadence (PAC)

creates complete melodic and harmonic closure

strongest type of cadence

most direct way to establish the pitch as tonic

harmonic cadence

rhythmic cadence

must have a sence of closure at the end of a phrase

Clear beats are most clearly identified by a listener through consitent, regular pulses in a specific timbre(s)

How is pulse perceived when a consistent pulse in a specific timbre is NOT present? Is beat perceived?

No? Then does an absence of a consistent, regular pulse mean that no beat is present? Always?

If yes, then what allows the listener to perceive beat?
