What does the term ‘cadence’ mean? Choose one statement that you think gives the best explanation.
- ‘Cadence’ is just another name for chord progression and could include any chords.
- Something that sounds finished in music. If the music sounds like it has stopped then this is a cadence.
- When musicians pause for a rest when they are playing. When they are ready they continue from where they left off.
- A melodic, harmonic (or sometimes, rhythmic) formula that helps us to hear phrase and shape within music. A cadence can create a sense of finality, or it may cue the expectation of continuity.

Question 9)
Why does a dominant seventh chord generate so much tension?
Choose one statement that provides the best explanation.
- It contains the interval of a tritone, it sounds terrible and so demands resolution.
- The root of the dominant chord is a perfect 5th above the root of the tonic chord, and this makes the bass want to resolve by a leap of a fourth up or a fifth down.
- Two particular scale degrees that both feature in a dominant seventh chord tend towards tonic resolution.
- It consists of a major triad and a minor 7th and these are incompatible intervals that have inherent tension built in.
