I think of secondary dominants like this: In a chord progression where a chromatic chord would add some welcome color from the diatonic chords of the scale, select any degree of the scale, other than the tonic, to which you want to go ("target chord"); but instead of going to the target chord immediately, go to its V7 chord first and THEN to the target chord. So, in key of C Maj, instead of, say, I - IV - vi - V - I (C - F - Am - G - C), where Am is the target chord in the progression, try I - IV - III7 - vi - I (C - F - E7 - Am - G - C) .

Fantastic video. This makes so much more sense now. Im just looking through the courses available. They look fantastic. I much purchase the aural dictation one after this video. Very helpful for the composition question. Thank you very much. Could a secondary dominant be used to modulate? Could I ask how would you write a secondary dominant in Roman numerals?
@MusicMattersGB5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your kind comment. Secondary Dominants can be used to modulate although they then technically cease to be Secondary Dominants because the point of a SD is that it provides some colour (V l in another key) but continues in the prevailing key. You can label it V l with a bracket indicating the new key or you can describe the SD as V of lV or V of ll or V of whichever chord you’ve used in the home key. Hope that makes sense. Enjoy the Aural Dictation course. Many other courses there too eg Advanced Theory, Composition, and some recordings of webinars that may interest you.

Question: when you demonstrated the a minor secondary dominant you also played an a flat in the chord. How would I know I can add that key if a flat is not in the a minor scale?
@MusicMattersGB4 жыл бұрын
Think of the Ab as a G# (same note, different name). G# is the leading note in the A minor harmonic scale. Chord V in A minor is therefore E G# B so that’s what it’s doing here in the first chord of the secondary dominant in A minor.

I like this - but the example of trying out an E major chord I find unconvincing - unless the intention is to have something which does not draw too much attention to itself. There may be situations where someone really wants to have a chord which stands out more. Another issue is whether it's the way the chords are played which makes them stand out. This may be too subtle - but I do wonder sometimes whether telling people that a chord "doesn't fit" or "stands out" really is conditioning them to accept something which otherwise they might not notice - or alternatively they may notice an effect, but actually like it. There is not necessarily a universal acceptance of effects in music. Some effects are much more likely to have more universal acceptance - minor seconds for example are likely to be considered dissonant or "unpleasant" by many - though again some people may get to like them, and sometimes the effects depend on context.

@@MusicMattersGB I perhaps should have added more. I would still have to look, listen, and also experiment with secondary dominants in order to check with myself that I don't find some "strange" ones disturbing. However, I think there are significant differences in the use of secondary dominants in jazz, which arise because so much of jazz is based round seventh (7th) chords. If almost every jazz chord is a seventh chord, then the V chord is I believe the only dominant seventh in the diatonic scale system. This can give rise to a different issue with respect to resolution - compared with some uses in classical music. The third of V in a standard diatonic scale is the leading note, which resolves naturally to the tonic - though that may be more effective depending on voicing. The effect is weaker in some voicings than others. Consider the dominant seventh (for example V7 in C), the V chord is G B D and the V7 chord is G B D F - the leading tone will almost certainly resolve upwards, while the D and F will also resolve appropriately. The really significant thing about the V7 chord is the tritone (here between B and F) embedded in it, which gives a very strong "need" to resolve. That is the only 7th chord based on scale degrees which contains an embedded tritone. Jazz musicians frequently use this in ii-V-I sequences, in which the ii is a weak replacement for a IV chord, but it allows them to make very quick on the spur of the moment changes - which make sense in a jazz context. Such sequences of ii--V-Is may give rise to circle of fifths modulations. Other improvisational tricks used by jazz musicians are to use tritone substitution - something which effectively does happen in some classical music, but those uses do tend to be considered in a different way.

Can I use secondary dominant as the pivot chord?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
You can certainly modulate through using the secondary dominant procedure

Brilliant as always, however! What if we are in the key of C and it goes to FG C (E7) followed by an F, would this F chord be the secondary dominant chord? And if the E7 is not the fifth, as I would have thought it would go to the A. Pease enlighten me. Thanks a always.
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
A secondary dominant occurs when you have a V(7) I progression in a key outside the prevailing key then you continue in the previous key.

@@MusicMattersGB Thank you. So, I should have wrote E7 to Am and not Amaj, now that Am is the secondary dominant, is that so?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
E7 to Am would be a secondary dominant in the context of another prevailing key.
@Ilovetosingem2 жыл бұрын
@@MusicMattersGB I thought from the video that this Am was the only secondary dominant but it seems from your reply they are both part of the package!!!

V7 is the Dominant 7th chord. b is first inversion.

I still don't understand why did you write on the whiteboard chord V7 I ,instead of IV I ? Isn't that Bb Major is the 4th chord of F Major ?
@MusicMattersGB6 жыл бұрын
The chord has Bb in it but the notes of the chord are C E G Bb. This is therefore a chord V with an added 7th - V7. Hope that makes sense.

Only in that the tonic chord of the Secondary Dominant is a chord in the prevailing key.

Do you ever use the tritone sub of a secondary dominant?
@MusicMattersGB6 жыл бұрын
You can substitute the V in a Secondary Dominant. A Diminished 7th for example can make a good substitute chord.
