Chapter 5 Cadences and Nonharmonic Tones

Nonharmonic Tones l Nonharmonic tones are pitches that sound along with a chord but are not chord pitches. l Pitches are dissonant l Occur in a pattern of three pitches: l 1 Preceding tone (chord tone) l 2 Nonharmonic tone (not a chord tone) l 3 Following tone (chord tone)

Nonharmonic Tones l l l l l Passing Tone (PT) Neighboring Tone (NT) Escape Tone (ET) Anticipation (ANT) Suspension (SUS) Retardation (RE) Appoggiatura (APP) Changing Tone (CT) Pedal Tone (PED)

Unaccented NHT l Unaccented nonharmonic tones are nonharmonic tones that occur off the beat l Consist of passing tone, neighboring tone, escape tone, and anticipation

Unaccented NHT l Passing Tone l Approach by a step, depart by a step in the same direction

Unaccented NHT l Neighboring l Approach Tone by a step, depart by a step in the opposite direction

Unaccented NHT l Escape l Only Tone occur as unaccented nht l Approach by a step upward, depart by a skip down by a third

Unaccented NHT l Anticipation l Only occur as unaccented nht l Approach by step, depart by the same tone

Accented NHT l Accented nonharmonic tones are nonharmonic tones that occur on the beat l Consist of passing tone, neighboring tone, suspension, retardation, and appoggiatura

Accented NHT l Passing Tone l Approach by a step, depart by a step in the same direction

Accented NHT l Suspension l One note carries over into the next chord, resolves downward l Melodic pattern is always as follows: the preparation, the suspension, the resolution l The suspended tone (the middle tone) is always dissonant l Suspensions are designated numerically by the interval forming the suspended tone and resolution with the lowest sounding voice

Accented NHT l Suspension

Accented NHT l Retardation l Similar to a suspension, except it resolves upward instead of downward

Accented NHT l Appoggiatura l Approach by a skip, depart by a step in the opposite direction

NHT with three or more pitches l Successive passing tones l Changing tones l Pedal tone

NHT with three or more pitches l Succesive l Two passing tones occasionally fill in a fourth l Can be accented, unaccented, or a combination of both

NHT with three or more pitches l Changing l Consist tones of two successive nht’s. l Leads by a step from the chord tone, skips to another nht, and then leads by a step to a chord (often the same chord tone)

NHT with three or more pitches l Pedal l. A tone held or repeated note l Usually in the lowest voice l Alternates between consonance and dissonance with the chord structures above it
