    Hi Allysia
    A Cadence that has become very popular in Christian worship music is to end off the song, instead of using the perfect V --> I cadence, to rather end it off with
    V --> IV
    [DOMINANT TO SUB-DOMINANT]
    (even though the melody would have normally been suited for the perfect cadence, and 99% of the time the perfect cadence was used earlier in the song for the same section).
    As a fun fact the sub-dominant would be preceded by, uhm, shall I say....
    crescendo "MOLTO", with the note of the song accompanied by the sub-dominant being sung in "*ffff*" fortissississimo (à la that last section of the very scary but awesome Liszt Rondo Fantastique - El Contrabandista played ONLY by the inimitable Valentina Lisitsa, because only she can!!!)
    Hillsong Church from Australia loves doing this at the end of worship songs, because the Sub-dominant gives that feel of non-closure. This in turn gives rise to and "motivation" for the "free worship" following thereafter,
    whereas the tonic would make the congregation also feel like the song is ending, finished and done and the worship will "fall flat", if I can put it like that.
    So I suppose it is a psychological thing. 😉

  • @dozie85
    @dozie85 2 года назад

    Hello, formally a phrase that ends on the dominant we would call an open cadence or a half cadence. Imperfect cadences are still V to I but what makes it imperfect is that the resolution happens on on another pitch of the tonic chord other than the root. For instance, if the phrase resolves on E in C major, and not C, this is an imperfect cadence.

    A lot of pop music tends to switch to the relative minor for the middle 8 so a deceptive cadence is good for that transition.

  • @geozipper
    @geozipper 6 лет назад +3

    I recently wrote a song with a descending bass line: C - B - Bb - A (back to C) to resolve... the chord progression is C major - B minor - Bb Major - A5 (Asus - A) back to C major. (The chords in parentheses are passing chords to get us back to C.)
    While it all works splendidly with my melody, it seems unusual in that the C & Bb seem to fit together & the Bm & A fit together, but they shouldn't ALL fit together, all 4 chords. A bassist friend of mine called it a "deceptive cadence" which strictly speaking, it isn't.
    I find it unique & unusual. Any thoughts ?
    I came upon a C major to a B minor before: McCartney uses it in "I Will" from the White Album. I thought it unusual at the time, something I'd never think of moving to - - that was years ago.
    Is my chord progression that unusual ? Or am I missing something?

    @caterscarrots3407 6 лет назад

    When I hear the word cadence. I don't think of just 2 chords but rather 6(the first, third, and sixth chords are the same). For example in C major:
    C, F, C, G, G7, C
    in C minor:
    Cm, Fm, Cm, Gm, Gm7, Cm
    That Gm7 is because I believe natural minor is the best kind of minor to use, especially for the "emotional 5" as I like to call them because to me those 5 minors are more emotional than any other minor key. Those would be D minor, G minor, C minor, F minor, and Bb minor.

  • @uhoh007
    @uhoh007 5 лет назад +1

    Why not just say it: a cadence is a snooty chord change, where a misplaced inversion can render you imperfect. Like Schoenberg noted, the concept of cadence has been intentionally rendered mysterious for selfish reasons by generations of pedegogs, when it's fundamental and easy to understand for beginners, if you can get their eyes off written notes for a sec. You are a fantastic presenter, but I wish somebody would send you a hammond organ and a whole lot of gospel albums. If Bach lived in our times, he'd be Mattie Moss Clark, or Barry Harris: who composed as they managed large plebian choirs, like Bach. Thanks for your killer channel, and especially your wit, in both imagery and sound. You inspire in 3D....or more :)

  • @tingwei4813
    @tingwei4813 6 лет назад

    In my music theory book, there is a "Interrupted Cadence” but isn't a "Deceptive“ one. Perhaps they're the same thing? "'interrupted perfect cadence' occurs where a dominant chord leads the listener to expect a tonic chord (and hence a perfect cadence) but is in fact followed by any chord except the tonic. " e.g. in Bach's harmonisation of a chorale usually sung to the English words, "Sleepers wake" or "wake, O wake".

    • @DonnaHarrisMusicStudio
      @DonnaHarrisMusicStudio 5 лет назад +1

      I was just going to comment that I am learning deceptive cadences as interrupted cadences. It's clear this cadence has more than one name. It seems some of the cadences do.

    • @ineffablewhune
      @ineffablewhune 4 года назад

      What I'm tentatively gathering from that is:
      Interrupted Perfect Cadence" is a category; within which "Deceptive Cadence" (V, vi) resides
      Deceptive Cadence is a specific "interrupted Perfect Cadence"?

    You are referring to the Half Cadence (I-V) as Imperfect? Imperfect cadence ends on I (Tonic) without the tonic on the soprano.

  • @amandalighthouse343
    @amandalighthouse343 3 года назад

    wait in the first example she talked about dominant and tonic, can those two terms be used for plagal and deceptive cadences as well, also can you use the term "Perfect and imperfect" for other notes or only V and I?

    @monicamiranda3161 2 года назад

    The only cadence I know is the last notes of Argentinian tango.
    That's because there's Brazilian poem by Manuel Bandeira called "Pneumotorax". A man goes to the doctor and he says he has pneumothorax.
    In our house my family had never heard of this disease, but in the poem the doctor says to the patient that all that is left for him was to listen to an Argentinian Tango. And my mother said, " and only the last two notes , ' tan tan' ".
    Whoever listened to a Tango knows how it ends.
    But I really want to say something else.
    You can use a "terminator" to mark your music phrases and their endings.
    A terminator in computer programming is character that we use to separate things. Languages usually uses more than one. One terminator is the white space . There are others like comma , semicolon, etc It depends on the computer language.
    I have a point and I will get there.
    I saw a video of the channel "music matters" in which the host was talking about aural tests in ABRSM level 8. He puts a piece of "music" for us to hear and it sounds like cacophony. But it's an Avant Gard music Wiener school or something like that. That piece has in its score some simmetries in the printing, in the writing as it would sound the same upside down or on the mirror. It has no time signature and no key signature at all. But the test attendee is expected to analyse what he just heard.
    That's really outrageous. They are looking for people with certain abilities in the brain as if he hears the piece he imagine the score the right way.
    But when I was talking about terminators is that it's very difficult to determine music phrases and they do not coincide with the measures.
    But you can force the phrasing to be as you want using a note as a terminator and in no way you will use that note, but only as a terminator and the phrases will be the size you want and they can be all the same size.
    Will your piece of music be nice or horrible? I just tested this on the piano with the note F# as a terminator. It did not sound as ugly as the Wiener piece.
    As you see I can understand how an Argentinian Tango ends. You can apply those two notes as terminators and mark your measures. It will can be very nice to test.
    One piece that has two notes that should be the end but are in the middle is Une Klein Nacht Musik by Mozart. I think Mozart used this trick a lot.
    I wish you all the best.

    • @uglykidney
      @uglykidney 7 лет назад

      V-I can be imperfect if final chord is not Tonic on highest voice and root on bass positon (double root on highest voice) but in this case it be Imperfect Authentic Cadence.(Imperfect authentic cadence not Imperfect cadence)

    • @uglykidney
      @uglykidney 7 лет назад

      and vii-I is not perfect it's Imperfect authentic cadence because when vii replace V It like Inversion of V (you can think V and vii triad are incomplete V7 but they both have leading tone so they can produce strong sense of complete sound so we call authentic)

  • @iamthe1234567890
    @iamthe1234567890 3 года назад

    I don't know much about music theory but it appears you have moved the higher notes in the dominant triad of C major (G/B/D) and played them as B/D/G before playing C/E/G between 2:42 and 2:45. What is this called and when / why do you do this? Its not an inversion because you haven't moved bottom notes higher, but you've moved top notes lower???
