By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Define what an embedded phrase model (EPM) is and how it relates to the T-PD-D-T model previously discussed.
Analyze examples of embedded phrase models in examples from the repertoire using multiple levels of functional analysis.
Compose and realize a progression using an embedded phrase model.
Demonstrate further proficiency in recognizing and writing cadential six-four chords from Unit 4-3.
Performing Harmonic Analysis Using the Phrase Model (John Peterson, OMT)
Introduction to Harmonic Function: Part 2

Definitions: What is an embedded phrase model and how does it relate to the T-PD-D-T model discussed in Unit 2-1?
Composition: Compose a chord progression in major and minor that incorporates an embedded phrase model. Switch with a partner and have them partwrite your progression in 4-part keyboard and chorale style. Label the cadence, Roman numerals, and chord function (T, PD, D). If there's time, also compose a melody for each progression. Perform your progressions for the class.
Analysis: Analyze examples from the repertoire in the Anthology section below. Identify Roman numerals and chord function (showing the embedded phrase models). Also identify the cadence by type as PAC, IAC, or HC. Identify all non-chord tones as P, N, IN, App, E, S, R, or Ant.
Phrase Model Analysis: Examples that include embedded T-D-T or T-PD-D-T progressions. Examples include only I, IV, ii, V, V7 chords (and inversions).
Cadential Six-Four Chords (continued practice): See the first section on this page: Cadential Six-Four Chords: Examples that only use I, ii, ii6, IV, and inversions of V7.
