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
