So, we progress from the G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,G,B,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The 5-1 Chord Progressions And The Ending Of Most Songs<\/h3>\n<p>Now, this chord progression is found at the end of songs; especially hymns, anthems, worship songs, praise songs, and other songs because it creates a sense of finality.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the end of the <em>Happy Birthday Song<\/em>, right?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to give it a strong sense of finality, you&#8217;ll have to play the 5-1 chord progression at the end of the song:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To (the 5-chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou (the 1-chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m very certain that after progressing from the 5-chord to 1-chord, you&#8217;ll have this finality that shows that the song has come to an end and might even get the audience to clap.<\/p>\n<h3>The Perfect Cadence In Music<\/h3>\n<p>In music theory, the movement of the 5-chord to the 1-chord is called the perfect cadence and it actually is a perfect way to end songs and if you listen to classical and jazz songs, you&#8217;ll hear the perfect cadences.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know the country you&#8217;re reading this blog from. But I can assure you that the last two chords of your national anthem would be the 5-chord and the 1-chord and that&#8217;s a perfect cadence.<\/p>\n<p>So, most songs end with a perfect cadence and the next time you hear a song end with a movement of the 5-chord to the 1-chord, that&#8217;s a perfect cadence.<\/p>\n<h2>Introduction To The Cadential 6-4 Chord<\/h2>\n<p>The cadential 6-4 chord is a chord that is played before the 5-1 chord progression. So, it is its position, by the virtue of being right before the perfect cadence that gave it its name: the cadential 6-4 chord.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the cadential 6-4 chord is formed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Step 1: Go to the fifth tone of the major scale<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Add a tone that is a <strong>sixth<\/strong> above the note in step 1.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Add another tone that is a <strong>third<\/strong> above the note in step 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n..the fifth tone of the scale is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow, to this G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can add the first note that is a sixth above G and that&#8217;s E (that&#8217;s step 2):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and altogether, you have G-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then you go to step 3 by adding another note that is a fourth above G (and that&#8217;s C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, we have &#8220;G-C-E&#8221;:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s the cadential 6-4 chord.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s The Cadential 6-4 Chord&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Playing the 1-chord in the major key with the fifth tone on the bass produces the cadential 6-4 chord.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the 1-chord is the C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nPlaying the C major chord with G on the bass:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the cadential 6-4 chord and it doesn&#8217;t matter the key you&#8217;re in, you&#8217;ll still derive the cadential 6-4 chord if you follow the same procedures.<\/p>\n<p>So, the 1-chord with the fifth tone of the scale on the bass is the cadential 6-4 and that&#8217;s as long as it precedes the 5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<h3>Application Of The Cadential 6-4 Chord<\/h3>\n<p>Now, if we play the cadential 6-4 chord right before the 5-1 chord progression, here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll get:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cadential 6-4 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and this happens a lot in songs.<\/p>\n<p>For example in the Hymn <em>Oh How I Love Jesus <\/em>we have the ending as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Loved:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;me:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;but if we add the cadential 6-4 chord, we&#8217;ll have this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;loved:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;me:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and if you play the chord progression with the cadential 6-4 chord, you can hear how the cadential 6-4 chord creates a kind of a preparation for the 5-1 chord progression to bring the song to an end.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve learned what the cadential 6-4 chord is and can also identify it.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage you to take a few hymns and anthems and try to spot the last two chords (which are most likely going to be the 5-1 chord progression), then you try to precede the 5-1 chord progression with the cadential 6-4 chord.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the Hymn <em>All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name <\/em>we have the ending as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pos (cadential 6-4 chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,C,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;trate (5-chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;fall (1-chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"
