Music Theory: Chord Progressions The number of ways chords can go together to produce new and interesting sounds is nearly infinite. Musicians use their intuition and experience to arrange chords in ways that move the music along. This notion of movement is important to understanding how to compose and improvise a piece of music. Chord progressions are what gives a piece of music its harmonic movement. Harmonic Movement Usually the interplay between chords in a piece of music creates the feeling of movement and change. Most pieces of music tend to first establish a feeling of stability, depart from it, create tension, then return to the feeling of stability. Progression Formulas The way chords are placed one after the other in a piece of music is called a chord progression. Roman numerals are used to indicate the chords in a progression. The diagram below shows the formulas of the more common chord progressions in major and minor keys. The Roman numerals refer to the position of each chord in the diatonic scale.
