the role of the promary chords (the most important ones) was determined by what is called "Cadence" (from the Latin word meaning "to fall") describes a concluding phrase or a phrase suggesting conclusion..It normally occurs at or near the end of a melody or a section of music...there are FOUR different kinds of cadences in primary chord progressions...the PERFECT CADENCE is the resolution from the V (dominant) to the I (tonic) chord..
the IMPERFECT CADENCE is the progression from the I (tonic) chord to the V (dominant) it normally occurs in the middle of a chord sequence, not at the end, and it can be used to describe the movement of any chord to the V - USUALLY the II, IV, or VI..
the PLAGAL CADENCE is the resolution from the IV (sub-dominant) to the I (tonic) chord..
the INTERRUPTED CADENCE is the progression from the V (dominant) to any chord other than the I (tonic) .. it is USUALLY to the III, IV, or VI..
in chord sequences in a major key, these cadences reflect a definite sense of motion, tension and resolution.. however in a minor key the V (dominant) chord is a minor triad, not a major triad, and this means it does not produce the same effect when used in cadences..it was for this reason that the 7th note in the minor scale was raised by a semi-tone to create the harmonic minor scale..triads built on the harmonic minor scale could therefore produce a different series of chords: I minor, II diminished, III augmented, IV diminished, V major, VI major, and VII diminished..the V chord was now major instead of a minor, and the result was that the rules of cadences could be applied in the same way to both major and minor keys.. this concludes your free lesson..

Srila Prabhupada once said:
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Chaitanya with His associates.
