Basic Phrase SATB harmony III. Figured bass IV. Embellishing tones V. Voice-leading chords VI. Phrase structure and motivic analysis VII. Diatonic sequences VIII. Secondary Dominant and Leading Tone chords IX. Tonicizing Scale degrees Course Objectives Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Define the basic phrase in SATB style and expand the basic phrase through voice-leading and dominant 7th chords. 2. Identify cadence types and diatonic root progressions. 3.
