Subtonic description |
---|
In music, the subtonic is the scale degree below the tonic or, more specifically, the flattened seventh (VII): the lowered or minor seventh degree of the scale, a whole step below the tonic, as opposed to the leading tone, which is only a half step below the tonic. The distinction between leading tone and subtonic has been made by theorists since at least the second quarter of the 20th century. Before that subtonic often referred to the leading tone triad, for example.The subtonic appears in three forms: as the scale degree, * * * * * * * 7 * ^ * * * * * * {\displaystyle {\hat {7}}} * , melodically and as the chord VII in both VII-I cadence and in modulations harmonically. The word is also used as an English translation of subtonium, the Latin term used in Gregorian chant theory for the similar usage of a tone one whole step below the mode final in the Dorian, Phrygian, and Mixolydian mode |
