Cadences
9th chords Start to create some progressions
Your mission
To create two contrasting 16 bar progressions, using three extended chords. One will be a major progression and one harmonic minor progression. The progression will be annotated clearly using roman numerals and will use the composition techniques we have studied in class. You will also give a brief presentation in groups on how to construct all extended chords from the C major scale. Step 1: Create a 16 bar chord progression in C major using only roman numerals making sure you can play it on your chosen instrument. Step 2: Analyse the chord sequence. Step 3: Add extended chords. Step 4: Finalize progression.
Good luck!!!
Roman numerals
So far we have looked at the roman numerals up to and including the 7th note of the scale
III = I = VII = VI = IV = II = V =
3 1 7 6 4 2 5
Cadences!
A cadence is a chord progression that gives the feeling of resolution/conclusion
Cadences!
4 types of cadence Perfect cadence Half cadence Plagal cadence Interrupted cadence
Perfect cadence
A perfect cadence is a progression from chord V to chord I
In C major it goes G - C
Half cadence
The weakest of the cadences as it doesnt sound conclusive i.e. sounds as though the sequence should continue Any chord followed by the V chord
In C major it can be Dm G / Am G / C G
Plagal cadence
Known as the Amen cadence as it was the cadence used in many church songs when the congregation sings the word Amen It goes from chord IV to I
In C major it goes F C
Interrupted cadence
Another weak cadence It goes from chord V to any other chord apart from I
9th chords
4 main types of 9 chord Dominant Major
Minor
6/9
Dominant 9th
This is a dominant 7th chord with a 9th on top Uses the intervals 1st, 3rd, 5th, flat 7th + 9th
Major 9th
This is a major 7th chord with a 9th on top Uses the intervals 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th + 9th
Brilliant way to give your compositions a jazzy feel Works nicely in consecutive motion
6/9 chord
This is a chord with both the 6th and 9th present with no 7th Uses the intervals 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th + 9th It works as a substitute for a I chord

Group work
Get into groups and discuss each of the types of 9 chords and cadences we have looked at and give a brief presentation to the class explaining what intervals are used and try writing the chord out as notationuse C major as a home key
Homework
Come up with a 16 bar chord sequence in the key of C ONLY using basic triads (no extended chords) Write it down in roman numerals and letters
