Modulation (music)
In
music,
modulation is most commonly the act or process of changing from one
key (
tonic, or
tonal center) to another. This may or may not be accompanied by a change in
key signature. Modulations articulate or create the structure or
form of many pieces, as well as add interest. Treatment of a
chord as the tonic for less than a
phrase is considered
tonicization.
