• SongwritingRelated: A progression can suggest melodic and lyrical directions during composition.

• Jazz improvisationRelated: Improvised lines often outline or reinterpret the tune’s moving harmony.

• Drone (music)Compared with: A changing progression contrasts with the drone’s persistent pitch foundation.

• Circle of fifthsBroader topic: Circle-based progressions use adjacent keys or roots to create familiar harmonic motion.

• Ornette ColemanRelated: Coleman often freed improvisers from having to follow predetermined chord sequences.

• Hugo RiemannRelated: Riemann’s theory interprets progressions through changing functions rather than chord names alone.

• Benny CarterRelated: Carter’s improvisations and compositions depend on clear, mobile harmonic progressions.

• Johann PachelbelNarrower topic: The Canon’s familiar bass pattern became influential through its adaptable harmonic sequence.
