In conventional classical music theory, the English cadence is a distinctive contrapuntal pattern particular to the authentic or perfect cadence described as archaic〔Carver, Anthony (1988). ''The Development of Sacred Polychoral Music to the Time of Schütz'', p.136. ISBN 0-521-30398-2. If the clash cadence is already, "archaic, () mannered," in the music of Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) it must surely be so now.〕 or old-fashioned〔Herissone, Rebecca (2001). ''Music Theory in Seventeenth-Century England'', p.170. ISBN 0-19-816700-8.〕 sounding. This pattern is so named because of its use primarily by English composers of the High Renaissance and Restoration periods. The hallmark of this device is the dissonant augmented octave (compound augmented unison) produced by a false relation between the split seventh scale degree. Popular with English composers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries but named in the 20th-century, the English cadence is a type of full close featuring the blue seventh against the dominant chord〔van der Merwe, Peter (2005). ''Roots of the Classical: The Popular Origins of Western Music'', p.492. ISBN 0-19-816647-8.〕 which in C would be B and G-B-D. == Characteristics == For instance, observe beat 4 of the example shown at right: the tenor's G natural sounds concurrently with the soprano's G sharp. This voice leading entails the seventh degree's dual functionality, or its capacity for opposing voice-leading tendencies. That is, a lowered seventh degree resolves downward to the sixth (e.g., G-F), while a raised seventh (i.e., a leading tone) resolves upward to the first degree (e.g., G-A). In harmonic terms, the basis of the English cadence is the authentic cadence, which follows the chord progression V-I. This variant is characterized by a penultimate, dominant chord with a split third, thereby creating a false relation between the germane parts. The contrapuntal nature of the device dictates a minimum of three parts, though it is generally found in works with four or more parts. Where this musical device is used in music written in a minor key, it is common for it to be combined with a Picardy third, ultimately producing a major tonic. The Corelli cadence is another "clash cadence". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「English cadence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
