THE NATURE OF MUSIC 



and relation in the derived and imitative minor group. 

 In short, everything in major has its parallel and 

 counterpart in minor. Major provided the material 

 by means of which melody produced minor, and minor 

 in its turn has added new material. Just as in major 

 so in minor, the cadence-tones arose over and under 

 and tend up and down into the regnant Tonic-har- 

 mony. Because of these corresponding tones, relations 

 and harmonies in the two modes, parallel examples 

 in major and minor will be given in all cases where 

 they will add to the clearness of our exposition. Our 

 first example presents a pentatonic melody, in which 

 note the common harmonic self -reports and corre- 

 sponding tones, relations and harmonies in the two 

 modes. The pitch of these and other examples is 

 chosen for convenience of presentation and should be 

 thought an octave lower.

Carefully compare these parallel examples. The 

 syllables and harmonic numbers show the new and 

 transmuted relations of the diatonics in minor. Ob- 

 serve that each mode is represented by the three com-
