Melodic Cells

1

Melodic cell 1 should be sung with the syllables "Do-Di-Re" where "Di" is acting as the secondary leading tone to ii.

2

Melodic cell 2 should be sung with the syllables "Sol-Te-La" where "Te" is acting as the chordal seventh of the secondary leading-tone chord to ii.

3

Melodic cell 3 should be sung with the syllables "Do-Te-La" where "Te" is acting as the chordal seventh of the secondary dominant chord to IV.

4

Melodic cell 4 should be sung with the syllables "Mi-Ra-Do" where "Ra" is acting as the chordal seventh of the secondary leading-tone chord to IV. Notice that this interval sounds a bit larger than it looks due to the augmented second between "Mi" and "Ra."

6

Melodic cell 6 should be sung with the syllables "Do-Si-La" where "Si" is another instance of a secondary leading tone to iv
