Is chord progression necessary?

Ok, I realized that the OP did mention a track.

A good melody (often) implies a chord progression.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

A melody that implies some sense of resolution does. The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows is all about not resolving.stillshaded wrote:A good melody (often) implies a chord progression.

I just listened to this, it has a chord progression. Just ask Bach, any time the bass is playing a different note from the melody, that's a chord. Most popular EDM has chord progressions of some sort, you're just not recognizing them as such because they're not chords on a single keyboard.Juljan wrote:I looked up some house music remakes on YouTube, for example Sebastian Ingrosso-Reload.

If we're going to get technical, then literally speaking, at least with tonal music, a "progression" has to move towards the tonic according to the principles of functional harmony. So ii-V and V-I are both "progressions".hueynym wrote:A "Chord Progression" is when one chord goes to another chord. If you are composing diatonic music, regardless of genre, and use notes outside of a single chromatic scale, you are using a chord progression. It may be 2 chords going back and forth, it may be 4 chords. If it goes from one discernible chord to another, it's a progression.
V-ii on the other hand (for example) moves in the other direction and is therefore a "retrogression" instead. (The clue is in the names.)
This is admittedly pedantic, and most people nowadays use the term "progression" to refer to any series of (any number of) chords though (which is fine).
Sorry, I know this isn't relevant to the OP - feel free to ignore.

Did you mean I-V as a "progression"? Otherwise, V-I moves in the other direction, too, as well as V-ii...JumpingJackFlash wrote:If we're going to get technical, then literally speaking, at least with tonal music, a "progression" has to move towards the tonic according to the principles of functional harmony.

Retrogressions are just a peculiar type of progression (essentially they're "standard" progressions in reverse and without cadences). I-V resolves way to strongly to really be a retrogression imho (retrogressions tend to have really weak resolutions).Tricky-Loops wrote:Did you mean I-V as a "progression"?

Not every V-I is a cadence (or to put it another way, V-I is not necessarily a cadence).Tricky-Loops wrote:But then it's a cadence...

Even if it was, it would still be a progression (in and of itself), hence "cadential progression"

Now I still don't understand why V-I is a progression and V-ii is a retrogression...
