unfaithful once more...

Section A: Verse

Key: c minor

the chord progression is unlike that of section B which is a harmonic progression. This section is more of a voice leading type, which i have marked out in green.

The first 2 bars are the transition back to the verse from the chorus. They take on the melody of the introduction in the opening.

Chord PRogression: i (5,3) - (6,4,2) - (5,3) - 6,4,2) (first two bars)

Harmonic function: T-------------------------------

In this introduction opening, the use of suspensions can be found. first bar, 2nd beat a (4 -3) suspension, 2nd bar,1st beat, (9-8) suspension and 2nd beat, (4 -3) suspension. I have failed to mark it out in the score so i'm writing it out here.

THe chord progression and harmonic function for the next 6 bars are:

i (5,3) - (6) - (5,3) - (6,4,2) : bars 3 and 4

T--------------------------

VI (5,3) - (6) - (7) - V (5,4,3): bars 5 and 6

PD-----------------D

i (5,3) - (6,4,2) - (5,3) - (6,4,2): bars 7 and 8, (last two bars)

T------------------------------

There is the use of pedal point throughout this section. I have marked it out in orange. Most of it is the use of tonic pedal until bar 5, it goes to a submediant then back to a tonic pedal in bar 7.

The emphasis of this section, is on the 1st beat. There is stronger emphasis on the first beat followed by a weaker emphasis on the third beat at the verse. i have marked it out in dark and light blue.

In bar 8, a melismatic passage can be found in the upper voice, marked out in yellow. this is the first time it is being introduced followed shortly by another use of melisma which will be seen in the next post.

As compared to section B, where there was a diminution in rhythm. Here, we have an augmentation in rhythm giving this section a laid back feel. and in bars 5 and 6, we have an interrupted cadence VI - V.

yup, that's all i have found for now. please point out to me the parts that i might have left out. Thank you :)
