| A | B |
|---|
| The Three Against One Paradigm | (IV-V; root motion by 2nd) 3 upper voices move in contrary motion to the bass, to the nearest available position (2 by step, 1 by skip)= Double the root (bass) of both chords= SOPRANO: 1-7, 4-2, 6-5 |
| The Parallel Tenths Paradigm | (IV-V; root motion by 2nd) Outer voices ascend in parallel 10ths; the inner voices descend (one a 3rd, the other a 4th)= Double the root (bass) of both chords= SOPRANO: 6-7 |
| The Couch Potato Paradigm | (I-VI; root motion by 3rd) 2 voices stay put; 3rd voice moves by step= Double the root (bass) of both harmonies= SOPRANO: 3-3, 1-1, 5-6 |
| The Ultrasmooth Paradigm | (V-I or I-V; bass motion by 5th) 1 voice stays put; 2 voices move by step in parallel 3rds, 6ths, or 10ths= Double the bass (root) of each chord= SOPRANO: 7-1, 2-3, 5-5 (or their retrogrades) |
| The Step-Skip-Skip Paradigm | (V-I or I-V; bass motion by 5th) All upper parts move in the same direction (1 by step, 2 by skip [i.e. 3rds])= Double the bass (root) of each chord= SOPRANO: 2-1, 5-3 (or their retrogrades); AVOID 7-5!!!!!! |
| The Third-to-Third Leap | (V-I or I-V; bass motion by 5th) 1 voice stays put; another moves up/down by step; the 3rd of the first chord leaps up/down to the 3rd of the second= Double the bass (rot) of both chords= SOPRANO: 1-2, 5-5, 3-7 (or visa-versa) |
