    The document discusses two types of moving line patterns in music: 1) A passing tone line, which is a single linear embellishing line that connects the root or fifth of one chord to a tone in the following chord using diatonic or chromatic passing tones. This produces no new chords but can create movement and interest. 2) A descending line pattern that uses an 8/#7/7 progression. This can create a feeling of movement over minor chords sustained for multiple beats and moves from the minor chord to a dominant 7th chord a fifth or half step below.

    -MOVING LINE PATTERNSA pattern where a passing line is created over a chord extending for several
    measures. It is a Linear Embellishing Technique [the Passing Tone Line]. The Passing
    Tone Line is applicable to Maj/Dom/min chords. It produces a single line of Diatonic
    or Chromatic passing tones connecting the Root or 5th of the object chord [where you
    are coming from] with a chord tone of the following chord [where you are going to].

    NB The effect produces no new chords but: may represent an essential part of the
    harmonic identity of a composition; may be used to create interest; and may be used to
    create movement.

    The Descending Line


    -The 8/#7/7 pattern May be used to create a feeling of movement when a minor chord extends for several beats or

    measures.
    Usually originates on the first beat of the bar and moves to a x7 chord a 5th or half step below.
    Substitute for the ii Vx ii Vx or ii Vx figure [with the Vx delayed two beats].
