Unit 6-2: Other Applied Chords

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

Spell and ID other secondary dominants (V/vi, V/ii) and demonstrate further proficiency with V/V and V7/V.
Compose a chord progression and harmonize a melody using an applied chord of V, IV, vi, or ii.
Describe what an applied ii-V-I is in the context of jazz and write examples of this progression using lead sheet and Roman numeral notation.
Analyze examples from the repertoire that use applied dominants and applied ii-V-I progressions.

Definitions: What is an "applied ii-V" as defined in the reading. How does this relate to the concept of secondary dominants previously discussed? String together a few sample progressions in different keys using lead sheet notation and Roman numerals.

Practice with Other Secondary Dominants: Work through the worksheet here in groups, as a class, or individually as an assignment.
Use this handout as a guide to practice substituting and building other secondary dominants.
Practice with ii-V's (Open Music Theory):
- - Worksheet 1: Analysis of "Tune Up," "Autumn Leaves," and "In Your Own Way" (PDF | Docx | Worksheet Playlist)
  - Worksheet 2: Composing with ii-V-I (PDF | MuseScore)
Analysis: Analyze examples from the anthology. Notate the Roman numerals and any schemata (or variations on schemata) that you recognize.
Harmonization: Have a classmate or your instructor select a melody from the anthology, but remove (or cover up) the chords. Harmonize the melody, incorporating at least one secondary dominant. Write out a basic 3- or 4-way rhythmic accompaniment, then listen to your harmonization. Compare your harmonization to the original in the anthology.

Examples for Analysis: This section of the anthology includes examples for listening and analysis with secondary dominants of V and other chords.
Analysis with Applied ii-V-I's: Listen to Henry Mancini's "The Days of Wine and Roses." Identify examples of applied "ii-V-I's." (PDF | MuseScore | YouTube )

Anthology: Secondary Dominants

Assignment 6-2

Next Unit: Modulation

Musition:
- Advanced Progressions: Levels 3a–3b
- Chromatic Chords: Levels 2a–3b
- Lead Sheet Analysis: Level 5b
- Scale Degree Function: Levels 5b–5d
- Scale Degrees: Level 10
Quizlet:
- - Roots of V7/V chords (Keys): Identify the root of the V7/V chord in various keys.
  - Roots of V7/X chords (Scale Degrees): Name the scale degree that serves as the root of a given secondary dominant (e.g. V7/V). Or, start with the scale degree (e.g. 2) and name the secondary dominant built on that root.
  - Roots of V7/X chords (Keys): Identify the root of the stated secondary dominant (e.g. V7/V) in the key given (e.g. CM).
  - Chromatic Syllables: Given a chromatic solfege/scale degree (e.g. #4/Fi), state the secondary dominant it corresponds to (e.g. V7/V)
