The Six Harmonic Principles
Here is an overview of the Six Harmonic Principles.
Full Diatonic
A Full Diatonic (FD) chord is defined as a chord that has its root and species (chord type) IN its Harmonized Chord Chart(s) .
Partial Diatonic
A Partial Diatonic (PD) chord is defined as a chord that has its root in chord chart but its species is NOT in its Harmonized Chord Chart(s) .
Internal Modulation
An Internal Modulation(IM) is when a change of tonal* center has occurred.
Unresolved
Unresolved (UR) is when a chord is in its Harmonized Chord Chart(s) but does not resolve to the I chord.
Chromatic
Chromatic (CH) chords ascending or descending by chromatic half steps between roots. The root and species are NOT in the Harmonized Chord Chart(s) .
Cycle
A Cycle (CYL) is when there is an equal distance between chord roots and same species for each chord, ascending or descending. A minimum of three chords is required for a cycle.
*Tonal and key will be used interchangeable throughout this series.

Harmonic Analysis Lesson Series
Updated: 06 Jan 2020
Harmonic Analysis ( HA ) is the process used to determine the harmonic function of chords within a chord progression. A chord progression is defined as a sequence of chords, each chord has a root and has a particular chord type. The relationship of a chord's root to a scale determines its function within that scale's tonality. Once a chord's function is identified, scale selections along with chord and scale substitutions can be made. This process is called Root Movement Analysis ( RMA ). This series of lessons are extracted from my book for use with individual private and on-line students. Each lesson directly corresponds the chapters in my book Harmonic Analysis for Scale Selection and Chord Substitution by Curt Sheller (me).
Harmonic Analysis - Full Diatonic
Updated: 08 Jun 2024
Harmonic Analysis is the understanding of the functional sequence of chords. It is the process used to analyze the harmonic structure of a progression, song, or composition. This analysis is then used to make scale selections for improvisation and chord substitution. This lesson covers the Full Diatonic harmonic principle.
