consecutive fifths

In music, consecutive fifths or parallel fifths are progressions in which the interval of a perfect fifth is followed by a different perfect fifth between the same two musical parts (or voices): for example, from C to D in one part along with G to A in a higher part.

: a recurrence in music of the same interval between two parts or voices in successive chord progressions.

Let's go back to our example. If. We change the C chord to the first inversion of C major in other words we take the root notes. And move it up an octave. Then.

: an unsounded musical interval of a fifth that is implied by the similar up or down motion of two voice parts and that if sounded would produce consecutive fifths.

What is the circle of fifths? The circle of fifths is a way to visualize the twelve musical keys and put them in a convenient order. It's used in music to help remember the notes that make up each key and group similar keys based on the notes that they share.

Definition. The circle of fifths organizes pitches in a sequence of perfect fifths, generally shown as a circle with the pitches (and their corresponding keys) in a clockwise progression. Musicians and composers often use the circle of fifths to describe the musical relationships between pitches.

Consecutive refers to things that are arranged or happen in a sequential order. A criminal who serves a consecutive sentence does time for one conviction after another.

Consecutive comes from the Latin consecutus, meaning "following closely" with no gap. Just like those snowstorms - one storm happened each day, back to back, for five days in a row. Consecutive numbers also follow each other, or advance in the right order. For example, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are consecutive numbers.

In music, consecutive fifths or parallel fifths are progressions in which the interval of a perfect fifth is followed by a different perfect fifth between the same two musical parts (or voices): for example, from C to D in one part along with G to A in a higher part.

Parallel fifths are avoided between voices in a contrapuntal texture because they make it sound as if a voice has dropped out. The movement of voices in fifths (or octaves or fourths) in parallel sounds more like a single voices (and has been exploited as such in orchestrations and organ design.)

A hidden fifth occurs when an implied consonant passing note would create a parallel fifth. A hidden octave occurs when an implied consonant passing note would create a parallel octave.

The 'rule of fifths' describes the ideal transverse proportions of the face to comprise equal fifths, each roughly equal to one eye width. The alar base width should be equal to the intercanthal width.
