	Subdominant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the C major scale (white keys on a piano), the subdominant is the note F; and the subdominant chord uses the notes F, A, and C. In music theory, the subdominant chord is symbolized with the Roman numeral IV if major and iv if minor.
		A cadential subdominant chord followed by a tonic chord (the chord of the key of the piece) produces the so-called "plagal"(or "Amen") cadence.
		In sonata form, the subdominant key plays a subordinate though still crucial role: typically, in the recapitulation, there is a section written in the subdominant key, occurring at the point corresponding to the location in the exposition where the music modulated into the dominant key.

		Chords are also said to have a function in their diatonic scale, which relates to the expected resolution of each chord within a key.
		The five down a perfect fifth to the I chord and the VII chord up a minor second to the I chord, due to the expected resolution of the tritone, or the highly unstable diminished fifth which is present in a diatonic VII chord.
		The II and IV chords have Subdominant Function, partially due to the fact that they are a fifth away from the Dominant chords of a key, and partially because in their own Tonic keys, their respective Dominant chords are built on the root notes of the stable Tonic function I and VI.

		An extended tertian chord, however, is often built on scale degree 5 to function as a dominant; 9th and 11th chords may be built on scale degree 2 and serve as a subdominant chord.
		Pre-Dominant Chords: are chords that precede the dominant (or sometimes the tonic six-four and then the dominant) in a cadence.
		Borrowed chords are also referred to as "mode mixture." 19th-century composers often used borrowed chords to expand harmonic color and to modulate to distantly related keys, especially the chromatically 3rd related keys.

		Subdominant or “S” class: ii (usually in first inversion as ii6 or ii6/5) and IV (ii06, iiº6/5 and iv in minor), all inversions and all 7ths*.
		The subdominant function is not merely suggested by the presence of a chord comprised of scale degrees ^4, ^6 and ^1, it is also characteristically felt by a move in the bass from ^4 to ^5, as part of an S-D motion.
		Most ‘predominant chords’ are either ii, IV or some chromatic alteration of one of those two functions (such as a secondary dominant of V or an augmented sixth chord on its way to V; we will learn about the augmented 6th chord later in the semester).

	Chord Functions
		The minor major 7th chord typically is the tonic, or possibly the subdominant chord in a minor key area.
		This could be a tonic chord in a major key, or possibly another 7th chord, because you often have a chain of several 7th chords all a fourth higher (or a fifth lower) than the previous one.
		The chord is becoming enharmonically equivalent to a seventh chord a tritone away, that is, a semitone above the tonic.

	3.6 Neapolitan Chord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The origins of this chord are vague and the geographical designation it receives most likely comes from it's use in operas from the Italian city of Naples (where it was often used at dramatic moments in the story) during the 17th century Baroque period.
		The function of the Neapolitan triad is that of a predominant substitution for the diatonic chords IV or ii.
		The Neapolitan sixth chord is similar to an altered subdominant chord (doubled root, b3, #5 [enharmonically spelled]).

		The tonic I, the subdominant IV and the dominant (seventh) V7 are the main chords for (all the) songs of western music.
		Another fairly often used chord is the major sixth on the 4th degree, the subdominant sixth (f a c d) which is noted as IV6 when the fifth is not present and as IV56 (5 below 6) if the fifth is present.
		A commonly used chord is the double dominant which is the dominant of the dominant.

	Music Theory: A Primer for Guitarists and Bass Players
		A dominant chord is simply the chord starting at the fifth position in the scale and is usually a chord with a flatted seventh (of its major scale).
		Dominant chords have a very strong tendency to move (want to resolve) to a Tonic chord, usually the I. The avoid notes I listed are notes that either sound dissonant if held against the associated chord or which confuse the function (tonic, subdominant, or dominant) of the chord.
		For dominant chords (chords functioning as the V chord in a progression), the seven is flatted.

		The subdominant classes include besides the subdominant chord itself, which is, of course, the fundamental sound of this class, the supertonic chord, functioning as the lower related chord and the submediant chord, which functions in this classification when it sounds as a reflection of the subdominant sound.
		To cite a specific example, the tonic chord, C E G, in the key of C may be enriched by the addition of the note B flat.
		First inversion tends to alter the classification of a chord if one of the harmonic pillars (the tonic note, the dominant note, or the subdominant note) is in the bass of the inversion.

		Tonic chords tend to represent a harmonic resting place; subdominant chords act as dominant preparation and, when paired with a dominant chord, help to clarify the key (for example, the pairing of IV with V or ii with V [Ex.
		Harmonies that act as embellishment (such as neighboring chords, passing chords, and incomplete neighboring chords) are non-functional; such chords, which are fundamentally linear, may emphasize functional chords in a progression but do not themselves contribute to the motion of the phrase as essential components of the progression.
		Although chord structures are generally familiar ones (tertian chords such as major-minor-seventh, major-major-seventh, minor-minor-seventh, or the like) and the familiar scale choices are available, there is greater freedom in the meaning that is conveyed by the placement of harmonies in a succession of chords.

		It is called a C chord, because the C is the note from which the other tone emanate—are created by the overtones of C. It can be called a tonic chord, but only in the key of C, as it is built on the tonic note of the scale.
		Thus, to change a C major scale to c minor: the E (the 3rd of the I chord) is lowered to E flat the B (the 3rd of the V chord) is lowered to B flat the A (the 3rd of the IV chord) is lowered to A flat.
		The chord progression, V — I, using the leading tone 7th as the third of the V chord is so satisfyingly key-confirming and closure effecting that it is used to conclude (cadence in) all tonal music, whether in minor or major keys.

		Diminished chords and scales have always been a weak point for me. I can play the chords all over the neck, and know their dominant b9 relationship, and minor third quality, but their actual function in a particular song context and how to best solo melodically through them has always been challenging.
		Since the passing B dim 7 chord in question here follows a C minor 7 chord and resolves to a B flat chord, we could think of the sequence as a ii-V in B flat, and treat the B diminished chord as an F7 or B7 chord (V7 of ii).

		You will notice that the augmented 4th (the suspended note which acts as the 4th of the scale, by the way it resolves), this E is also the subdominant note and subdominant chord.
		Whenever there is a dominant seventh chord (G7), it is actually G6, where the E is the main voice - the most audible added note - which then resolves to the 3rds of the tonic (see the last note of the oboe in the first bar).
		In a similar way, it is the 3rd of the dominant chord (G - note B) which leads semitonally to the root of the tonic, and although this is downwards instead of upwards, it is emphasised by its position in the bar as a movement of importance.

		For this purpose, the harmonic relationship between the target chord and its preceding prime context (that can be either a single chord or a chord sequence) is systematically manipulated.
		In the harmonic priming paradigm, the to-be-processed target chord is preceded by a prime context (the first seven chords of the sequence), and the harmonic relations between prime and target are systematically manipulated.
		In the present case, the target chord functions either as a strongly related, stable tonic chord (I) or as a less related, subdominant chord (IV).

		Another chord we mentioned, even if not a part of II-V-I, but sometimes in a progression of fifths, is the minor subdominant chord.
		Usually it functions as a replacement or a complement to the major subdominant chord, and is followed by III, V, or I. The minor subdominant can however be substituted by a dominant ninth chord with root a fifth lower than the subdominant root.
