Description

Explore the evolution of musical cadences with Jumping to Conclusions by Routledge. This scholarly work examines the specific melodic movement where a cadence reaches its conclusion by jumping from scale degree 3 down to 1 or to the 1-7-1 pattern. The book traces this chronological history starting from Gregorian Chant, where the falling third is often preceded by scale degree 4 to create the 4-3-1 figure. It follows these borrowed melodies as they move into the polyphony of the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. Readers will learn how melodic figures with a 4-3-1 shape became a significant element of style across various scale degrees. The text analyzes how these unbroken melodic progressions, such as 4-3-1-7-1, function within the upper voice and throughout different musical eras.
