Memorable Choral Chords: Solutions
[C]: An intermediate cadence chord used twice in Eric Whitacre’s Water Night [1996]; first, on the last word of, “Drink in those waters;” second, on the last word of, “flowing from the center of the night.” It is an E♭m11 chord. The first use (shown in the puzzle) is in the second inversion: E♭m11/B♭. The memorable feature here is that each voice part is divided into an interval of a minor 3rd.
