What pieces of music have second inversion chords in them?

A second inversion chord has the fifth of the chord as the lowest note. One example is in "Ubi Caritas" as harmonized by Douglas Brooks-Davies. In measure 26, on the second syllable of "lites" there is a D minor chord built (bottom to top) as A-D-F (instead of D-F-A in root position). But any song could be arranged with a chord in the inversion. The above reference is to the vocal parts in "ubi Caritas." If you strum an A chord on guitar, the lowest note is E, the 5th of the A chord.


How do you find piano inversions?

To find an inversion of a Chord, you simply move the lowest note in the chord up and octave and leave the rest the same. Alternatively, you can move the highest note in the chord down an octave. Example: C-E-G (C Major Root Position) E-G-C (C Major 1st Inversion) G-C-E (C Major 2nd Inversion


What is a I6 chord?

A I6 is the analytical way to say "I chord, first inversion." This could also mean (and it usually does) that the I chord, in any inversion, has the third in the bass. Let's look at some examples: Suppose you were in the key of C major. The I chord would be C, made up of the notes C, E, and G with C in the bass. Therefore, the I6 chord would be C/E (C with the bass note E). Suppose you were in the key of G major. The I chord would be G, made up of the notes G, B, and D with G in the bass. Therefore, the I6 chord would be G/B (G with the bass note B). This also brings up if you have the I chord with the fifth in the bass. That is written as I46 (but with the numbers directly on top of each other, which I don't know how to do on the computer). In C this chord would be C/G.


Are slash marks specifying the inversion usually included in the chord notation for a typical lead or fake sheet?

Yes. Look at almost any fake book and you will see they include chord inversions.


On the keyboard how would I play a slash chord when the right side of slash has one chord over the other-like if C is on the left of slash its the right hand but how do I play A over G with left hand?

slash chords are just one chord. A7/G would be an A7 chord in third inversion, so that the G is the bass note. C/E would be a C chord with an E as the bass note (1st inversion) Tks for the answer. It wasn't what I was looking for though. Can you look at the discussion page and see if my question makes sense there?.

What is the strongest resolution of a tonic six four chord?

While technically a tonic chord can go to any other chord working the key, in its second inversion (6-4) it has the smoothest transition into a root position V (dominant) chord. And is usually considered itself part of the V chord if used at the end of a cadence, ie: I(6-4) - V - I (or VI)
