If you give me your undivided attention, in the next 15 minutes or so, you’ll be learning a chord progression that is commonly used in gospel songs – especially in songs that are classified as worship songs.
A Short Breakdown Of The Term Chord Progression
The harmonic movement from one chord to another creates a chord progression.
In any given key (be it a major or minor key), there are eight degrees. Using the key of C major:
…as a reference, we have:
C as the first degree (aka – “the tonic”)
D as the second degree (aka – “the supertonic”)
E as the third degree (aka – “the mediant”)
F as the fourth degree (aka – “the subdominant”)
G as the fifth degree (aka – “the dominant”)
A as the sixth degree (aka – “the submediant”)
B as the seventh degree (aka – “the subtonic”)
C as the eighth degree (aka – “the octave”)
The movement of chords from one degree of the scale in a given key to another creates a chord progression.
Although there are various classes and types of chord progressions:
Chromatic and diatonic chord progressions
Cyclical and non-cyclical chord progressions
…and so on, we’re focusing on one of the long-established chord progressions that have taken a common place in worship songs.
“What Is A Cyclical Progression?”
Attention: Due to the fact that the chord progression you’re about to learn is a cyclical chord progression, we’ll invest a few minutes into the review of cyclical progressions.
In chord progressions, Chord 1 can move to any scale degree chord ranging from chord 2 to chord 7 in an unpredictable manner.
Cyclical chord progressions are predictable chord progressions where the root of a chord moves in a certain interval.
In music, the strongest movement between chords is in fifths and fourths. Chord progressions that are based on root movements in fourths and fifths are called cyclical progressions and this is because they move in a cycle using the same interval.
Fourth Vs Fifth
Attention: Fourth or fifth here has a lot to do with direction . Cyclical progressions ascend in fourths and descend in fifths. Using the chart below:
C to G can be a fifth or fourth.
“Here’s how…”
C:
..to G:
…in the ascending direction is a fifth , encompassing C to G:
…five degrees of the scale.
“…while”
C:
..to G:
…in the descending direction is a fourth , encompassing C to G:
…four degrees of the scale.
