Generation

# Dominant-Tonic Relationship The **dominant** (V or V7 chord, built on scale degree 5) creates harmonic tension that strongly resolves to the **tonic** (I chord, built on scale degree 1). This relationship matters because it establishes a sense of musical "home"—the tonic—and provides the primary means of creating and releasing tension in tonal music. The V-I progression is the most fundamental cadential formula in Western music, forming the basis for how we perceive musical phrases as complete or incomplete.
