Progressions' names

[rbarata]

Hello, my friends. A question about progressions...

How would you call these progressions?

I - ii - iii - IV - ii - I

I - ii - iii - V - ii - I

Sorry, I'll get my coat...

But I've never heard of actual naming of progressions. You could name them after a popular song in which you found them already.

When I say name I mean the type of progression.

We have the authentic, plagal, deceptive, turnaround, etc, etc

I haven't seen these in any song so far.

Ah, you're talking about cadences, not progressions. There is a distinction... Cadences are part of progressions, not vice versa.

Ok, putting this in a context...


The song is like this (I used two variations because I'm not sure if the song finishes with IV - ii - I or V - ii - I):

I - V - IV - I - V - I - ii - iii - IV - ii - I
I - V - IV - I - V - I - ii - iii - V - ii - I
The red ones form a Blues turnaround cadence.
The violet ones form an Authentic cadence.

The green ones seems to be a type of Ascending major progression (acording Wiki) with a difference: it descends directly from the IV (or V) to the I using only the ii by skipping the iii.
