1In tonal music analysis, which cadence creates the strongest sense of finality by progressing from the dominant chord (V or V7) to the tonic chord (I or i) with both root notes in the bass?
A.Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC)
B.Plagal Cadence
C.Half Cadence
D.Deceptive Cadence
Explanation: A Perfect Authentic Cadence (PAC) moves from V (or V7) to I (or i) with both chords in root position and the tonic scale degree in the highest voice, offering the strongest harmonic resolution.
2Which cadence is traditionally known as the 'Amen cadence' because of its frequent use at the end of traditional Christian hymns, resolving from IV to I?
A.Authentic Cadence
B.Plagal Cadence
C.Phrygian Cadence
D.Interrupted Cadence
Explanation: The plagal cadence is formed by the subdominant chord (IV) moving directly to the tonic chord (I), creating a soft, reverent resolution often sung as 'Amen'.
3What non-harmonic tone (non-chord tone) is approached by step and left by step in the SAME direction, filling the interval of a third between two structural harmony notes?
A.Suspension (retard)
B.Appoggiatura (apogiatura)
C.Passing tone (nota de pas)
D.Neighbor tone (nota veïna)
Explanation: A passing tone is a stepwise non-chord tone that connects two chord tones a third apart in a single scalar direction (either ascending or descending).
4Which non-harmonic tone leaves a chord tone by step and immediately returns to the same original pitch, stepping either above (upper) or below (lower)?
A.Anticipation
B.Escape tone (échappée)
C.Pedal point
D.Neighbor tone (nota veïna / bordadura)
Explanation: A neighbor tone (or auxiliary tone / bordadura) moves by step above or below a chord tone and then steps back to the initial pitch.
5In Roman numeral harmonic analysis of a major key, which uppercase Roman numeral represents the dominant triad built on the 5th scale degree?
A.V
B.vi
C.I
D.IV
Explanation: In major keys, the triad built on the 5th scale degree is a major triad denoted by the uppercase Roman numeral V.
6When a piece modulates from C major to its relative minor key, what key does the music move to?
A.F minor
B.A minor
C.D minor
D.G minor
Explanation: The relative minor key shares the same key signature as its relative major. A minor is the relative minor of C major (built on the 6th scale degree of C).
7What term describes a sustained tone (usually in the bass voice) held through several changing harmonies?
A.Arpeggio
B.Ostinato
C.Pedal point (nota pedal)
D.Cantus firmus
Explanation: A pedal point (or bass pedal) is a sustained or repeated tone, typically on the tonic or dominant in the bass, above which harmonies change.
8Which key signature relationship exists between C major and C minor?
A.Neighbor keys
B.Enharmonic keys
C.Relative keys
D.Parallel keys (tòniques homònimes)
Explanation: Keys that share the same tonic root note (such as C major and C minor) but have different key signatures are called parallel keys (or homonymous keys).
9What is the pitch interval between the tonic and the dominant scale degrees in standard diatonic major and minor scales?
A.Perfect fifth
B.Major third
C.Octave
D.Perfect fourth
Explanation: The dominant is the 5th scale degree of a diatonic scale, located a perfect fifth above the tonic root note.
10In functional harmony analysis, what three phase steps comprise the standard harmonic progression cadence framework across classical tonal music?
A.Tonic -> Dominant -> Subdominant -> Tonic
B.Tonic (T) -> Subdominant/Predominant (SD/PD) -> Dominant (D) -> Tonic (T)
C.Dominant -> Subdominant -> Tonic -> Mediant
D.Subdominant -> Dominant -> Submediant -> Leading tone
Explanation: Standard tonal syntax follows the functional hierarchy moving from stability (Tonic) to expansion/preparation (Subdominant or Predominant) to tension (Dominant) and resolution (Tonic).
