In the example below, D–7 to E–7 finds all voices moving up in diatonic seconds. Parallel motion means that all voices move up or down by a similar amount. If root motion moves by unison or second, move the voices in parallel motion.
Correct resolutions for chord tones 3 and 7ģ. These resolutions produce a clear harmonic texture and minimize finger movement from chord to chord. If the root motion moves by perfect 4th or perfect 5th, resolve chord tone 3 in the first chord to chord tone 7 of the second, and chord tone 7 in the first chord to 3 in the second, as shown in the following examples. Determine the basic chord sound for each chord.Ģ. The following guidelines will help you create voice leading that is consistent with jazz/pop voicing practices.ġ. Following voice leading rules will lend a recognizable stylistic sound and chord texture.Ĭurrent jazz and pop composers are less concerned with traditional voice leading rules, but still strive for balanced note spacing and reasonably smooth connection from one chord to the next. Traditional voice leading focuses on the resolution of tendency tones and avoidance of such intervals as parallel 5ths, octaves, and certain doublings of pitches within chords. It also makes the voicings easier to play on a keyboard. Voice leading connects notes smoothly from chord to chord with a blended, textural sound. The following voicings illustrate the correct placement of basic chord sound for common chord types: Recommended chord voicings for various chord types Voice Leadingįollowing voice leading principles will improve the sound of a progression. Altered 5ths are always considered part of the basic chord sound.įor best results, the basic chord sound (3 and 7) should be placed, or voiced, within the following range: Recommended range for voicing chord tones 3 and 7 Chord tone 5 is not considered part of the basic chord sound unless it has been raised or lowered (altered), or is part of a triad. The flat 7th gives the chord a dominant function, while a major 7th yields a tonic or subdominant function. The 3rd determines whether the chord is of major or minor quality and the 7th (or 6th) determines the chord function. For 6th chords, the basic chord sound consists of chord tones 1, 3, and 6.
