Jekyll and Lilypond

Introduction

Hello there. This is an example of jekyll-lilypond. Now I can quickly write a web page with Markdown and include snippets of Lilypond code. The jekyll-lilypond plugin will automatically pick these up and process them to create a musical example. It can even generate an mp3¹ of the music.

That was Frère Jacques.

Cadences

Here is some random stuff about cadences. Here is an example of a perfect cadence. The key is C major. Note the passing note from the fifth scale degree to the third of the tonic chord. Also notice how the leading note moves down a third to the fifth of the tonic chord, instead of following the expected voice leading by resolving up a semitone to the tonic. This allows the final chord to contain all three notes, and is Bach’s usual practice.
