Harmonic Analysis - Partial Diatonic
Partial Diatonic is defined as a chord that HAS its root in the - "Harmonize Chord Chart," but its species or chord type is NOT in the Harmonized Chord Chart. Partial Diatonic chords are used to link chords without leaving the current key center.

Secondary Dominant, partial diatonic, chords are a big part of this the Partial Diatonic harmonic principle.
This series, is the book Harmonic Analysis for Chord Substitution and Scale Selection by Curt sheller broken out into individual lessons with additional examples and content. Always, the latest version of the book.
WORKSHEET NOTATION: Label these chords with UPPERCASE roman numerals and the tonality or key center using an uppercase letter. Example: I7, IVm6, I°7, etc. There is no change of tonality or key center.
EXAMPLE 1
Using the above chord progression and the Major harmonized chord chart we see a II V I , full diatonic chords in the key of C major. But what about that D7. The root D is the second degree or II in the key of C major but the chord type is not correct. The II chord in a major key is minor or m7, not a 7th chord. This is a Partial Diatonic chord. We label this chord as a II7 a * V of II chord. This chord is traditionally called a secondary dominant chord which are covered later. For the purpose of Root Movement Analysis a secondary dominant chord can be considered a partial diatonic chord.
* A Secondary Dominant chord cover later in this lesson.

Secondary Dominants
V of …
A common function of a partial diatonic chord in Tonic-Dominant harmony is to act as a Secondary Dominant, a linking chord.
A Secondary Dominant chord is defined as any seventh chord built on a scale root that resolves up a perfect fourth (P4) or down a perfect fifth (P5) to a Full Diatonic chord. These chords function as a dominant
Here are the possible Secondary Dominant chords as defined by the above definition for both Major and Minor tonalities.
VI7 → V of II
VI7 → V of III
VI7 → V of IV
VI7 → V of V
VI7 → V of VI
The I7 , II7 , III7 are possible in BOTH major and minor tonalities. The VI7 and VII7 are possible in major tonalities only.
Chained Secondary Dominant Cycles
When several Secondary Dominant chords are used in a row and resolve up a fourth or down a fifth to a seventh chord, this is called a chained secondary dominant cycle or sequential dominants. Functioning as a dominant of a dominant V of… .
These Secondary Dominant chords can be preceded by there
For scale selection treat these Chained Secondary Dominant chords as series of Unresolved V chords or unresolved II V chords.
Chained Secondary Dominant Cycles Examples
I Got Rhythm (Bridge)
Scrapple the Apple (I Got Rhythm Changes
Bridge)
Jordu
Contains two Secondary Dominant cycles in the bridge.
Stompin' at the Savoy
Contains a Secondary Dominant cycle in the bridge starting on the IV7 chord.
Diminished Chords?
°7 vs. 7♭9
Some diminished chords are actually functioning as Disguised Secondary Dominant chords. So…
Q. When is a Diminished Chord NOT a Diminished Chord?
To determine if a diminished chord is functioning as a Disguised Secondary Dominant write out all four notes of the diminished chord: C Eb Gb Bbb (A) .
Drop each note 1/2 step and make each a root of a 7th chord:
C7 , Eb7 , Gb7 , A7
If the next chord is a major 7 or minor 7 chord, which if it was a I chord and the preceding chord could be its V chord. Then the diminished chord is really a 7 flat 9 chord — A Disguised Secondary Dominant. This is a common notational practice to insure that a specific chord tone is played as the lowest note of the chord voicing. Slash chord notation could and should have been used.
Examples in the Key of C
♯I°7 (♭II) = VI7♭9 • V of II
C#°7 = A7♭9/C♯
♯II°7 (♭III) = VII7♭9 • V of III
D♯°7 = B7♭9/C♯
♯IV°7 (♭V) = III7♭9 • V of VI
F♯°7 = E7♭9/C♯
♯V°7 (♭VI) = II7♭9 • V of V
G♯°7 = D7♭9/C♯
A.
When a Diminished Seventh chord resolves to a chord 1/2 step above its root it is functioning as a Disguised Secondary Dominant chord.

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 - Internal Modulation
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 Internal Modulation harmonic principle.

Fly Me to the Moon is a popular standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. It was titled originally “In Other Words”, and was introduced by Felicia Sanders in cabarets.

It is sometimes known simply as "Has Anybody Seen My Girl?" and sometimes simply as "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"; the 1925 Leo Feist, Inc. sheet music gives both of these.
