ABSTRACT
In this chapter, you will learn the ways that harmonies tend to interact with one another in the context of tonality. You’ll also explore how the basic phrase model of tonic—dominant—tonic is expanded using predominant, inverted, passing, and non-functional chords. While much of the chapter is devoted to common-practice harmony, you’ll also learn about harmonic trends within contemporary commercial styles and begin to understand the similarities and differences between these traditions.
