Subdominant sixth 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.
TONIC PARALLEL On the sixth degree of the scale is the parallel minor of the tonic.
DOMINANT PARALLEL On the third degree of the scale is the parallel minor of the dominant.

This subdominant also proceeds to the dominant, as expected, at the beginning of the second measure, and the lower neighbor major second over the root of the dominant is another vigorous contrapuntal effect.
Parallel fifths and fourths are similar in that they are all perfect in the diatonic system except for one: So, there is only an 14.3% chance for variety with parallel fifths and fourths.
Derivations for the second-tier secondary subdominants are demonstrated on the second system: The Lydian sonority on the lowered seventh degree comes from the parallel Mixolydian, and the Lydian sonority on the lowered third degree comes from the parallel Dorian.

The parallel figure in S: bars 24/25, T bars 25/26 etc. are of secondary importance.) The six-eighth-note figure in the bass is sequenced three times with considerable variation.
Thus in the first pair which is harmonically in F major, the tenor begins correctly on the fifth and carries on accordingly, while the alto, doubling in thirds, does not maintain the original interval structure.
This most powerful climax is then followed by a steep release, achieved by the combination of three means: the extension of the subject statement with a two bar delay of the resolution, the sudden drastic interruption of the polyphonic style in favor of homophonic chords, and the hemiola pattern with its four part rests.

 Automatic chorder for stringed instruments - Patent 4428273
It has one string contacting means located close to the second fret and is activated in conjunction with the second lever to complete the second chord and in conjunction with the third lever to produce the seventh tone to the third chord.
Parallel to levers 2 and auxiliary lever 1 is a wide lever 3 which, like lever 2, extends partially across the handrest.
They are connected by two parallel rods 21 which pass through the neck 12 of the stringed instrument perpendicular to the strings, thus securing the chorder 1 on the instrument 10.

 Apparatus and method for decoding four channel sound - Patent 3943287
Each enhancement signal is applied at a relative phase which is the opposite of said signal present in subdominant proportion and at a level which depends on the measured degree of directional predominance of its principal component.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention a plurality of control signals are generated as a function of the measured directional predominance of the four individual audio signals, and these control signals are utilized to modulate the level at which the enhancement signals are applied.
The signal applied to terminal 70 is applied in parallel and phase shifted by a pair of phase shift networks 74 and 76, and the signal applied to input terminal 72 is applied in parallel to networks 78 and 80.

 Intonation
The thirds of different triads are tuned by increasing amounts (relative always to equal temperament) as chords move in the subdominant direction around the circle of fifths, and by decreasing amounts as chords move in the dominant direction around the circle of fifths.
The thirds of minor triads, in a major key, generally are tuned as fifths from the tonic of the key, while the root and fifth are tuned in parallel an amount corresponding to the difference between a minor third in equal temperament and in the third between a pure major third and a pure fifth.
It is tuned as a fourth from the subdominant (4 cents lower); the whole measure is tuned around the final chord, the minor chord on the second scale step.

Parallel keys are keys that share the same tonic note, e.g., C major and C minor.
One way is to take the tonic (the original key), its subdominant and dominant keys, and all their relative major/minor.
Likewise, the closely related keys of A minor are D minor (subdominant), G minor (dominant), and all their relative majors, C, F, and G majors.

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.
In the minor, the supertonic triad is diminished and thus unstable because it contains a tritone between the root and the 5th; therefore, it often occurs in first inversion with the bass note doubled.

 Diatonic function - definition of Diatonic function - Labor Law Talk Dictionary (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Functional tonality refers to tonality which uses diatonic functions, non-functional tonality being when the diatonic elements are present (for instance the major scale) but do not use or fulfill their possible function as in, for instance, pandiatonicism.
For instance in C major an a minor is the Tonic parallel or Tp.
The parallel is formed by rasing the fifth a whole tone, the root position of the parallel chords is indicated by the small noteheads.

Also you will notice that the two notes which are involved in the tritone are the leading tone (3rd of the chord) and the subdominant (7th of the chord).
This is the reason for the 7th of the chord (which is the subdominant of the key) to resolve down by step.
In the dominant 7th chord it is possible to omit the 5th of the chord and to double the root.

You heard a short fragment of such parallel organum at the beginning of this definition.
By taking the triads that lie a perfect fifth apart from one another - that is, the triads built on the tonic, the dominant, and the subdominant - we have the three most important chords in tonal harmony: chords I, V, and IV, familiar to all players of the guitar.
The triads and keys of the tonic, dominant and subdominant, which are separated by perfect fifths, are the most important components of tonal harmony, and the most frequent goals of modulation.

 WTC II/19 in A major - Prelude
Although rudimentary imitation is used, parallel motion and complementary interplay is so frequent that one would not speak of a strictly polyphonic piece.
This further parallel also comes with dotted-note rhythm; the splitting may appear as note repetition, octave displacement or chromatic semitone.
It is accompanied by a three-eighth-note ascent in the lower voice, which in turn is partially paralleled in the middle voice.

 Augmented Sixth Chords
Two factors contribute to the strengthening of dominant function: first, the dominant is approached in all voices by step, so no fifth motion takes place between the chords; second, in the usual voice leading, the dominant scale degree is in the outer voices approached by contrary motion.
Although augmented sixth chords are in general derived from the subdominant, they are in particular derived from a specific subdominant function, the Phrygian cadence.
The parallel 5ths are either masked by figuration or placed in the inner voices where they are not heard as prominently.

 Counter parallel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chord can be seen as the "tonic parallel reversed" and is in a major key the same chord as the dominant parallel (Dp) and in a minor key equal to the subdominant parallel (sP); yet, it has another function.
For example, Am is the tonic parallel of C, thus, Em is the counter parallel of C. The usual parallel chord in a major key is a minor third below the root and the counter parallel is a major third above.
Both the parallel and the counter parallel have two notes in common with the tonic (Am and C share C and E; Em and C share E and G).
