53 An Expanded Macro Analysis System for Chromatic harmony Daniel Sommerville Part One: The rationale for the significance of other chord successions in addition to circle progressions. n the sixth edition of Music in Theory and Practice , authors Bruce Ben-ward and Gary White state that, all tonal music from the beginning of the baroque to the middle of the romantic period contains a pre-ponderance of circle progressions. 1 They then outline a System of analy-sis Macro Analysis in which circle progressions are readily identified. Letter names for chords are used instead of roman numerals, and under-slurs are used to link those chords that form such progressions ( root movement by descending fifth or ascending fourth). With such Analysis , one can see at a glance a wealth of information concerning har-monic movement. Prolongation and nested progressions are readily seen, as are circle progressions resulting in strong directional motion.
