AP Music Theory:: Unit 6 - Embellishments Motives Melodic Devices

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*Pitches that do not belong to the prevailing underlying harmony, creating temporary dissonance before resolving to chord tones.*

**A)** Non-Harmonic Tones (NCTs)
**B)** Chord Roots
**C)** Diatonic Triads
**D)** Tonic Foundations

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*A non-harmonic tone approached by step and resolved by step in the SAME direction, filling the gap between two chord tones a third apart.*

**A)** Passing Tone (Approached by step, resolved by step in SAME direction)
**B)** Neighbor Tone
**C)** Suspension
**D)** Appoggiatura

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*Unaccented PT occurs on a weak beat or offbeat; Accented PT occurs directly on the strong beat simultaneously with the new chord.*

**A)** Accented (On beat) vs. Unaccented (Off beat) Passing Tone
**B)** Chromatic vs. Diatonic PT
**C)** Double vs. Single PT
**D)** Ascending vs. Descending PT

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*A passing tone that uses an accidental to fill in a whole step interval between two diatonic notes (e.g., C -> C# -> D).*

**A)** Chromatic Passing Tone
**B)** Diatonic Passing Tone
**C)** Neighbor Tone
**D)** Escape Tone

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*A non-harmonic tone approached by step and resolved by step in the OPPOSITE direction, returning to the original chord tone (Upper or Lower NT).*

**A)** Neighbor Tone (Approached by step, resolved by step in OPPOSITE direction)
**B)** Passing Tone
**C)** Suspension
**D)** Anticipation

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*Two successive non-harmonic tones (upper neighbor followed immediately by lower neighbor, or vice versa) before returning to the original chord tone.*

**A)** Neighbor Group (Double Neighbor / Cambiata)
**B)** Passing Tone
**C)** Suspension Chain
**D)** Appoggiatura

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*A non-harmonic tone held over (prepared) from the previous chord as a consonant tone, becoming dissonant when the chord changes, and resolving DOWNWARD by step.*

**A)** Suspension (Prepared as consonance, held into dissonance, resolves DOWN by step)
**B)** Retardation
**C)** Appoggiatura
**D)** Anticipation

Which non-harmonic tone type, melodic development device, contrapuntal technique, or texture is described below?

*Preparation (consonant note in previous chord), Suspension (dissonant note held on strong beat), Resolution (stepwise downward motion to consonance).*

**A)** Preparation -> Suspension -> Resolution
**B)** Attack -> Decay -> Sustain
**C)** Exposition -> Climax -> Denouement
**D)** Antecedent -> Consequent -> Cadence
