    Meeting #14

    Grade 7 JCoM
    Dominant Sevenths
    Seventh Chords (I)
    Harmony In Grade 7, we will learn how to identify and use V7 (dominant
    seventh) chords in our part-writing. In both major and minor keys, the
    dominant seventh remains the same.

    Exercise: Fill in the chords according to the Roman numbers.

    When writing four-voice chorales, all four chord members are normally
    present. Such chord is called a “complete seventh chord”. A
    complete chord contains the root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th.

    Exercise: Identify whether the seventh chord is complete or incomplete.


    Resolution The seventh of all seventh chords is a dissonance that wants to
    resolve down by step.

    Exercise: Highlight the seventh of each of the following dominant seventh chords and show its
    resolution.

    Approach The seventh can be approached however you want. It may be


    approached either by repetition, stepwise, or leap from any direction.
    Inversions Seventh chords may be used in all inversions. It is important to
    understand the interval structure above the lowest note.

    Exercise: Find the correct inversions for each of the following dominant seventh chords.

    Exercise: Provide a Roman number analysis for each of the following dominant seventh chords.

    For inversions of the V7 chord, the normal resolution of the seventh still
    applies. Also, careful with another sensitive tone, which is the
    leading tone. Leading tone in outer voices must rise to the tonic
    (with very few exceptions).
    Exercise: Highlight the seventh and the leading tone. Show the normal resolution of the seventh. If
    the leading tone is in the outer voices, show the resolution of the leading tone.

    Exercise: Analyze the following chorales using Roman numbers.
