	Dominant (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		For example, in the C major scale (white keys on a piano, starting with C), the dominant is the note G; and the dominant chord uses the notes G, B, and D. In music theory, the dominant chord in its root position is symbolized with the Roman numeral V if major and v if minor.
		A cadential dominant chord followed by a tonic chord (the chord of the key of the piece) produces an authentic cadence.
		Modulation into the dominant key often creates a sense of increased tension; as opposed to modulation into subdominant (fourth note of the scale), which creates a sense of musical relaxation (because the tonic key is the dominant of its subdominant key: in F major, the dominant is C).

	Secondary dominant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of these chords, V (G major) is said to be the dominant of C major (the dominant of any chord is the one whose root is a fifth higher).
		Secondary dominants are normally major chords, not minor; thus, the secondary dominant of VI in C major is considered to be E major, not E minor.
		This is similar to the general pattern of music wherein the simple chord V is often followed by I. The tonic is said to "resolve" the slight dissonance created by the dominant.
