1) Identify all the dominant function chords in the following major keys:
2) Which major key does each of these chords have dominant function in?
3) Can you think of any ways to solve the problem of not having any dominant function in natural minor? What can we do to get that important dominant sound without losing our minor tonality?
Post your answers in the comments below or on the videos. See you next time!
1)D major: A, A7, C#dim, C#mi7 b5
ReplyDeleteBb Major: F, F7, Adim, Ami7 b5
A Major: E, E7, G#dim, G#mi7 b5
Eb Major: Bb, Bb7, Ddim, Dmi7 b5
Gb Major: Db, Db7, Fdim, Fmi7 b5
C major: G, G7, Bdim, Bmi7 b5
2)Bb major, Ab major, E major, Db major, D major, C major
3)To have dominant function in a minor key we would raise the seventh a half step and make the scale into harmonic minor.
That all looks right!
