Suspended Cycles

I personally love the rich texture that is created when voices are being introduced as others continue to sustain, thus creating a beautiful overlapping effect, most commonly utilized in the Strings...           it can also be simply glorious and sonorous in the Horns as well, etc...

This Blog demonstrates how suspended 4th & 2nd chords can be modulated to and from one another while always sharing 2 voices in addition to having the ability to move through all keys through cycle V root motion.

Therefore, as these chords modulate through the keys they create a wonderful feeling of movement while offering stability since they are always sharing voices and they can also pivot or come to a point of rest virtually anywhere.
Which sure is a wonderful harmonic device for us composers to have at our disposal.

Please note that these suspended 4th chords can also be identified as suspended 2nd chords by a different name, thereby opening up even more avenues for root and bass motion variations, etc...

                   
   


I have identified additional chord type movements using this approach that I will more than likely post as well at a later date. Please sequence this and try creating your own compositional framework
in addition, through rhythmic alterations, etc... and without doubt you will enjoy it.  Guaranteed!
