Harmony 2
Week 5
Learning Outcomes
 By the end of todays session, students will be able to:
 Describe how secondary dominants function in progressions, including
deceptive resolution
 Identify and construct extended dominants
 Identify and construct related IIm7 chords and their tensions
Secondary Dominants in Progressions
 Compare:
Deceptive Resolution of Secondary
Dominants
 Secondary dominants generally resolve to their target chords, but
deceptive resolution is also possible.
 See below:
Secondary Dominants on Strong Metrical
Stresses
 Although secondary dominants typically occur on weak stresses, they
do not always do so.
 Eg, because the V7 chord most often occurs at the end of a phrase
(weakest possible stress point), its secondary dominant, V7/V usually
appears on a relatively stronger stress:
Summary
 Secondary dominants usually appear on a weak harmonic stress
 Secondary dominants usually resolve as expected, but deceptive
resolutions are also possible
 If a secondary dominant other than the V7/V appears on the strong
stress, it usually resolves to its target chord
Extended Dominants
 Positioning a dominant chord on the primary stress point in a
progression can set the stage for even longer patterns of dominant
resolution
 An Extended Dominant series is:
 A string of three or more dominant chords that start on a strong
harmonic stress point, and resolve, one to the next, by descending
perfect-fifth root motion
H2 Week 5
 The parallel chromatic scales in the essential voice leading create a
very strong progressive pattern that continually delays resolution and
a sense of rest.
 Our sense of normal diatonic function is temporarily suspended while
we are carried along by the pattern on dominant resolution
 Analysis for extended dominants involves two factors:
1. Arrows to show the pattern of dominant progression
2. The chord root that starts the series is labeled as a reference to the
tonal center.
 An extended dominant string can lead to diatonic goal chords other
than Imaj7
 In some cases it may not resolve at all.

Related IIm7 Chords
 The related IIm7 V7 unit is a minor7  dominant 7 pair with root
motion by descending fifth that creates a strong expectation of
resolution
 The II V is one of the most important defining features of jazz
harmony, but its important in other styles as well
 In many styles the IIm7 and V7 work together to help define the
tonality of a piece of music
 This pattern of IIm7 setting up the V7 chord can be copied and
applied to secondary and extended dominants
Related IIm7s
 There are two kinds of related IIm7 chords  diatonic and non-
diatonic.
 Related IIm7 chords for the V7/IV, V7/III and sometimes the V7/VI will
be non-diatonic
 Related IIm7 chords for the V7/II and V7/V and sometimes the V7/VI
will be drawn from the key and therefore diatonic
H2 Week 5
Available Tensions
 When related IIm7 chords are diatonic, usually the approach is to use
diatonic tensions as well
 IIIm7  T11
 VIm7  T9, T11
 VIIm7(b5): T11 and Tb13
 Otherwise, use dorian  T9, T11
Related IIm7 Summary and Practical
Considerations
 Any dominant function chord can be preceded by its related IIm7 or
IIm7(b5)
 The related II always sounds on a stronger harmonic stress point than the
secondary dominant
 VIIm7(b5), IIIm7 and VIm7 are potential dual function chords: they are
diatonic to the key and can also function as related IIs
 m7 and m7(b5) qualities are interchangeable, with these factors to
considers:
 Diatonic related IIs sound more inside, conservative, they imply a predictable
diatonic result
 Alternate versions of related IIs sound more colorful, whether brighter or darker 
they call the expected resolution into question.
 The related IIs of extended dominants have tensions 9 and 11
