1Which harmonic cadential formula consists of a dominant chord (V) resolving directly to the tonic chord (I or i) in root position?
A.Perfect Authentic Cadence
B.Plagal Cadence
C.Deceptive Cadence
D.Half Cadence
Explanation: A Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC) requires the V to I (or V7 to I) progression with both chords in root position and the tonic scale degree in the highest voice of the final chord.
2Which musical texture is defined by a single prominent melodic line accompanied by subordinate harmonic chords?
A.Monophony
B.Homophony
C.Polyphony
D.Heterophony
Explanation: Homophony features one primary melodic voice that attracts attention, supported by an accompaniment of chords or subordinate harmonic parts.
3How is a 6/8 time signature classified in metric analysis?
A.Simple Duple meter
B.Compound Duple meter
C.Simple Triple meter
D.Compound Triple meter
Explanation: A 6/8 time signature has two main beat counts per measure (duple), where each beat is dotted eighth-note length and subdivides into three eighth notes (compound).
4Which dynamic indication instructs the performer to gradually increase the sound volume?
A.Diminuendo
B.Morendo
C.Crescendo
D.Sforzando
Explanation: Crescendo (abbreviated cresc. or indicated by hairpin symbol <) means gradually growing louder in dynamic volume.
5What is the exact pitch distance between middle C (C4) and G4?
A.Major third
B.Perfect fourth
C.Perfect fifth
D.Major sixth
Explanation: The interval from C4 to G4 spans seven semitones (five staff steps), which constitutes a Perfect Fifth.
6Which clef places middle C (C4) on the third line of the staff?
A.Alto clef (C clef on 3rd line)
B.Tenor clef (C clef on 4th line)
C.Treble clef (G clef on 2nd line)
D.Bass clef (F clef on 4th line)
Explanation: The Alto clef is a C-clef positioned on the third line of the five-line staff, designating that line as middle C (C4).
7What is the relative minor key of G major?
A.E minor
B.D minor
C.B minor
D.A minor
Explanation: The relative minor key shares the same key signature as its relative major (one sharp, F#), and is located a minor third below the major tonic: G major's relative minor is E minor.
8How is a melody described when it moves primarily by step (adjacent scale degrees)?
A.Disjunct motion
B.Conjunct motion
C.Chromatic cluster
D.Arpeggiated motion
Explanation: Conjunct motion refers to melodic movement progressing smoothly by steps (intervals of major or minor seconds).
9In functional tonality, what voice-leading requirement creates the surprise effect in a Deceptive Cadence (V -> vi)?
A.The bass moves from degree 5 to degree 1 while upper voices freeze
B.The leading tone resolves upward to the tonic note while the bass moves up by step to degree 6
C.The subdominant chord replaces the dominant without warning
D.The fifth of the dominant chord drops a tritone to the mediant
Explanation: In a Deceptive Cadence, the listener expects V to resolve to I. The leading tone in the dominant chord still resolves upward to pitch degree 1, but the bass moves up by step to pitch degree 6 (vi), frustrating expected resolution to pitch 1 in the bass.
10Why is the Plagal Cadence (IV -> I) frequently referred to as the 'Amen Cadence' in sacred music analysis?
A.Because it contains no leading tone and was traditionally sung to the word 'Amen' at the end of hymns
B.Because it was invented by Pope Gregory I for the Introit
C.Because it requires a sharped subdominant degree resolving to the supertonic
D.Because it is the only cadence allowed in strict 16th-century counterpoint
Explanation: The Plagal Cadence moves from IV to I. Lacking the strong leading-tone drive of V -> I, it produces a peaceful, contemplative resolution that traditionally accompanied the word 'Amen' at the conclusion of Christian hymns.
