Unit 6-2: Other Applied Chords

Objectives

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

Spell and identify applied chords of ii, iii, IV, and vi in major and minor keys.
Analyze examples from the repertoire that include a mix of the above chords, labeling Roman numerals, cadences, and chord function.
Compose and partwrite chord progressions that use secondary dominants.
Harmonize a given melody using secondary dominants of ii, iii, IV, and/or vi.

Tonicization (John Peterson, OMT)
- Begin reading with the section "Tonicizing Chord other than V"

Applied Chords to IV

Recognizing Applied Chords: Discuss strategies for identifying secondary dominants in analysis. What clues can you use to recognize these chords? What are the distinctive chromatic tones for each chord in major and minor?

Online Practice Worksheets: These worksheets provide practice exercises for spelling, identifying, and composing examples with secondary dominants.
- - Varied Practice (spelling, ID, analysis)
    - - Practice Worksheet with Solutions, Worksheet 1, Worksheet 2 (from Music Theory for the 21st Century)
      - Worksheet 3 (Turek, Theory for Today's Musician, see p. 168–169, 171–175) [Available online through the library here].
      - Worksheet 4: Spelling, harmonization, and analysis with applied chords (from Fundamentals, Function, and Form)
      - Worksheet 5: Spelling and identifying secondary dominants. (Sarah Louden)
Composition: Compose three different 4-bar chord progressions in different meters and keys. Each progression should use a different applied chord. Partwrite one progression in chorale style and the other two in keyboard style. Label the cadences. Identify Roman numerals and chord function (T, PD, D) below the staff. If there's time, also compose a melody for the chord progression.
Analysis: Analyze examples from the repertoire in the Anthology section below. Identify Roman numerals, chord function (T, PD, D), cadences, and non-chord tones by type.

Secondary Dominants: Examples for analysis using applied chords of ii, iii, IV, and vi. See the section titled "V7/X."

Anthology: Secondary Dominants

Next Lesson: Applied LT Chords

Musition:
- Advanced Progressions: Levels 3a–3b
- Chromatic Chords: Levels 2a–3b
- Four-Part Writing: Levels 19a–19c
- Lead Sheet Analysis: Level 5
- Scale Degree Function: Levels 5b–5d
- Scale Degrees: Level 10
Quizlet:
- - 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 is corresponds to (e.g. V7/V)

Check out the use of secondary dominants in these pop songs.
