A Simple Song of Cadences

[song_of_thea]

Tonic goes to dominant

Or perhaps that is reversed

Sub-dom goes to tonic like

The church hymn’s benediction

 

The mediant wanders on

Marching: three, six, two, five, one

Jazz aficionados swing

Classical musicians roll

Their eyes- their souls vacating.

 

No one dares resolve with TI

Without SO or RE or Fa

One glorious dominant

Seventh chord slithers into

Heavenly DO MI SO DO

So clever!

Great to have you back!
