Great presentation 👍 It helped e feel the different parts while the music was playing… That is great 👍
very interesting and educational video
excellent info. clear and concise. much appreciated
The spelling Eb9sus expresses in full text: Eb dominant with a suspended fourth and a major ninth. But because it's a dominant, D should be flat. As it is voiced here on the score what we have is Ebmaj9sus4.
You’re 100% right! I forgot to make the dominant base for the chord. Thanks for the correction!
👏
Hi Dr. Kati. How about that ♭IIIdim7 in the 3rd bar of I've Got Rhythm? Can it be considered a common-tone diminished seventh chord? It is inserted between two minor chords.
Rodolfo, I think it could be considered a CTo. The resolution usually goes back to the chord where it originated, but in this case the progression is Iadd6 - #ivo7 - ii7 rather than back to I. Same idea with the tone being kept in common!
Trini
Thanks for this video. In the 12 mins 48 seconds mark you have chord V rather than a cadential 6/4 which usually goes to V. I would not treat that chords as a V but rather a I 6/4 to V
There are different theories about the function of the cadential 6/4 in labeling. I subscribe to theory that it is a dominant elaboration at the cadence rather than a retrogression to tonic function - thus the dominant label. “Cad 6/4” would work just as well. Labels are just that - labels. If they don’t detail what it is going on in the music, it’s a useless detail.
Just like tendency tones in music a Cadential 6/4 using goes to a V . Perhaps we can say we have different views on this....
@@claudiusmaye For sure! That's why it's called music theory and not music fact :)
I'm very impressed with your teaching style, please I need you to continue teaching me.
I am glad you are enjoying the lessons! I will definitely continue to make videos for you all! 😊
you know with this video it's like a teacher is teaching me and I'm understanding it very well thank you very much
0:56
👍🙂
thank you dr meyer 🎓
thanks dr kati 🎵
''Do not double leading tones and 7ths'' I did not know that. Explanation was very simple to understand. Thank you for sharing. I have a question. If i don't have the root note of the chord on the bass, do i still have to double the root of the chord? Like the last example? Dm/F
Thanks, and general doubling “rules” suggest doubling whichever pitch is in the bass regardless of inversion.
I thought the leap of a 3rd is acceptable and does not need to be resolved by a counter step? So D - B - G is OK. Or not?
Your example is an arpeggiation of a triad, so there are no concerns with those consecutive leaps in their resolution for “filling in the gaps”.
Thank you for all of these playlists and helping me with my return to school after a long hiatus, and my theory placement exam. I think I passed.
Hooray! Congratulations! Glad to be a helpful part of your journey. 💜
what about in atonal, or moreover 1920s style music? I'm one who shuns rules in music, for the composer should create music with all freedom of choice. But then again, I'm more like that of Messiaen, or Eric Whitacre when it comes to voice writing.
These “rules” pertain to common-practice music and its voice leading. Most of the other tonal practices grow/grew out of this tradition, so it’s important to study the foundation of the craft and deviate from there at your will.
@pianxtremeyt I can guarantee you Messiaen and Eric Whitacre know this tradition of “rules”, and choose to adhere to or deviate from them at their discretion. Please stop mistaking willful ignorance for freedom of choice.
I don't understand why the Beach example is not balanced. By my understanding, they both are PACs in the key of D minor... Is it because the Vs are not exactly the same? Please help!
Sure, it’s not that the cadences aren’t the same. The musical ideas don’t “rhyme” with each other, as in they aren’t the same musical idea. Hope this helps.
❤ 😊
Thank you so much. From Malawi (Africa). I just discovered you recently and I love your videos
Love to hear it! Thank you!
We love your channel 😊
Thank you so much 🤗
Hi Dr. Katie. Between 1:36 and 1:41 you said, “The meter of a phrase is usually draped over four bars with one big downbeat.” To better understand, would it be fair to say, “The meter of a phrase is usually draped over four bars with each phrase ‘STARTING’ on one big downbeat?” Forgive the upper-case as I simply wanted to clarify my question. Thank you Katie. Great youtube channel!
Yes, that is a great clarification.
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory … ok, thank you Dr. Katie.
May I know why the in practice part the (final) I chord is not closed but open? Thanks in Advance.
Just for illustration. It’s best to stay with the spacing you choose from the beginning, but neither is preferred.
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory Thanks a lot for your Response.....
3:38 the answer is a 4th higher, not a 5th
How can i contact you
I wanted to ask you.
Thank you so much.
Oh my is this useful. Im trying to wrap up a guitar course, but for the final assignment I got a bit ambitious and well... Need to research how to properly arrange for a small ensemble (the muse is quite unforgiving :P) Seriously, very helpful. I wonder though when part writing for instruments how much would the crossings themselves affect clarity? I suppose its very dependent on the instrumentation (if the tone is pleasant across the range, capable of taking over while not being in any way confused then your more likely to get away with it)... Guess you keep things like this in mind and experiment for effect but always with the understanding that there should be a musical purpose because theres a good chance this will cause issues with and need reworking. Still I always think of the Great Fugue and how delightful those crossings are, but then again Beethoven spent a lifetime rewriting the rule book, and could get away with making just about anything sound wonderful through his unwavering diligence and prodigious talent. Anyway wonderful stuff
Hello Again, how many times can a Model Sequence be repeated???
2 or 3 repetitions are sufficient before it feels redundant.
Thank you much for taking your gift of music and share it with people like us. I have a question: How long can a Model the length be. How many times is it practical to copy a Model. How long can a musical phrase be. How can you tell by the length what is the type of musical sequence??? If you can spare a few moments please answer when you can. Again, your video has generate much thinking on the matter. Thank you,
You are the best teacher, thank you so much for this!
2:55 what about in the aeolian natural minor scale? Are there any other chords besides the 5 chord that has a dominant function?
useful information
1:08 3:35 5:05 7:01 8:39
FYI around 6:30 the 3rd set of intervals b-c is m2 and c-b is M7.
Thanks for your careful attention to detail!
Error in labeling the 9-8 and 7-6
Thanks for your attention to detail!
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory sorry- should have mentioned this was a really helpful video and well made- thanks
Dr K, I do enjoy your lectures. One errata, though. Tenor Sax sounds a M9th below the written pitch.
Thanks for your attention to detail!
For the parallel period, does it have to be the exact same (basic idea)? What if there’s a little bit of embellishment but keeps there same idea?
I would still call it parallel if it has a little embellishment. Recognizably the same motive in the same key is what we need for parallelism.
I wish Dr. Kati were my teacher...😭
So sweet! Thank you so much ☺️
Hello Brava: I am writing to you first to thank you for taking the time for someone like me to teach, actually, teach something. I am also writing in regards to the Sequences you have outlined in your video time set 7:29 Descending 2nds Ascending 2nds Descending 3rds. Do you have a model for Descending 2nds - Ascending 2nds and Ascending 3rds and/or a video. Also, is the Chromatic Sequence Video out yet. Again, please accept my sincerest gratitude, A
Thanks so much for watching the video! Desc and Asc 2nd harmonic sequences are very common and can be found in a lot of repertoire. Brahms intermezzo op 117 no. 2 has a desc 2nd sequence near the beginning of the piece, like m 4. And Mozart’s piano concerto no 23 in A major mvt 1 has an asc 2nd sequence starting in m 258. Asc 3rds is not a common sequence type. But desc 3rds is and Pachelbel’s canon in D is a great example of such. Not quite there on the chromatic sequences video, but thank you for the reminder!
5:36 how can 9/8 be accepted as dotted quarter beat. y is it mentioned there
Regular meters have only 2, 3, or 4 beats. That means that compound meters will always have a dotted beat for their beat representation. So 2, 3, 4 = 6, 9, 12 because we can’t represent the beat in the meter signature, we use the subdivided beat on the actual score meter.
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory I thank you so much from bottom of my hear for your dedication. I have covered all the videos of your channel and also made notes. God Bless You
In 6:28 how is the root doubled in the II6? Sorry I can't see it!
The ii6 chord is a d minor chord in C major. There are two Ds, one in the tenor and one in the soprano.
Excellent ,Thank you
Very nice presentation. I think it's important to note the commonly-encountered use of vii°7/V between the N6 and V (that is, if you've already introduced secondary functions; if not, then I completely understand).
Indeed! The “Ra-Do-Ti” voice-leading is among my faves!
I would like to have private lesson abour this ...how can i reach you?
How about a borrowed major IV chord in a minor key context?
Traditional borrowing almost never occurs in minor mode - with the exception of the Picardy 3rd. If you find a major IV, check where it resolves, as it may be a V/VII secondary chord.

Just discovering this channel! I already knew the concept but this is so complete and well exemplified! From Guatemala, thank you for the class!
I believe I've heard many people refer to melodic embellishments as "non-essential" tones. So is it correct to say that if all of the melodic embellishments were stripped away from a piece of music, that there would remain enough melodic structure to still be able to create a unique piece of music and still be identifiable? Stripping away all of the melodic embellishments would seem to just leave a series of chords without any uniquely identifiable melody! So it would seem to me that melodic embellishments are very critical and very essential in creating the main melody. Not sure why melodic embellishments are referred to as non-essential!
“Non-essential” is not the same as “non-chord”. Non-chord tones are essential for melodic embellishment, as you say. You could make melodies that stay within the harmonic constraints, but they would probably have many leaps and not be very melodious. That’s not to say that those pieces don’t exist, but we like the color that the NCTs bring to our melodies!
