Chapter+18

The intervallic framework between outer voices. LIPs underlie all sequences, although sometimes they are hidden behind complicated surface elaborations.
 * Linear intervallic pattern (LIP):**

A musical pattern that is restated successively at different pitch levels.
 * Sequence:**

A sequence made up of pitches belonging to the diatonic collection.
 * Diatonic sequence:**

A succession of harmonies based on a root-progression chain and with repeated intervallic patterning in an upper voice
 * Harmonic sequence:**

A motive repeated several times in successive transpositions.
 * Melodic sequence:**

The arrangement of intervals that underlies a sequence.
 * Sequence pattern:**

Questions

Sequences are patterns, we find them in our music.
 * 1. What are sequences? Where do we find them?**

We look for repeated rhythms
 * 2. What do we look for in analyzing a sequence pattern?**

3. Which root progressions work well as sequence frames? Which need alteration?

4. What is the link between harmonic sequences and voice-leading? Between harmonic sequences and dissonance resolution?

5. How do we tell which frame is used in an embellished sequence?

6. If you were to write your own sequential progression with one of the frames in this chapter, what steps would you take?

7. In music for your own instrument, find two different sequences and label their types.
