The most fundamental form of chromaticism is that of dominantization,
     strengthening a weak chord by chromatically turning it into a strong, Dominant-type chord,
          one which has the interval of diminished fifth (augmented fourth)
          between its secondary notes (the MEDIAN and the MOTRIX),
     commonly known as a "Dominant Seventh" or "Minor Sixth" chord
          depending on its direction.

Dominantizing Swings

Swing with Voice-leading A

-In the swing with Voice-leading A
     the only chord we can dominantize is the TONIC Chord
          because the DOMINANT Chord already has that shape and strength.
     The dominantized TONIC Chord is now Cm6, with a chromatic MEDIAN Eb.

Swing with Voice-leading C

-In the swing with Voice-leading C
     we can also dominantize the TONIC Chord (Cm6 with Orbit 2, Eb).
Here is the complete version of our Bell-2 - it should ring now!

Substitutions

-Using the same swing
     with Voice-leading C
     with substitutions of the MOTRIX 1(3) and 0(3) and
     with dominantization of the TONIC Chord,
here is the complete version of our Bell-3 - it should also ring now!

Dominantizing with Metamorphoses

Circle with Voice-leading C

-In the circle produced by Metamorphosis 1 with Voice-leading C,
     it is not easy to find a way to dominantize the first three chords.
However, starting with the Ante-3 at the top of the window, each chord may be dominantized (E7, A7, D7).

Note that each chromatic note is followed by the diatonic note in the same voice,
creating a descending chromatic scale.

Circle with Voice-leading A

-In the circle produced by Metamorphosis 1 with Voice-leading A,
     the same difficulty exists concerning the dominantization of the first three chords.
     No problem if we start with the Ante-3 at the top of the window.

Note that, in this case, each chromatic note
is followed by the diatonic note in another voice,
creating more elegant, melodic lines.

Metamorphosis 2

-In this example of metamorphosis 2
     the chords of C6 and Am7 were presented as Real Triads
          to differentiate them from each other.
     Their respective identities are all the more clearly defined
          if we dominantize the chord at the point where the MOTRIX appears, Cm6 and A7.

Metamorphosis 3

-In this example of metamorphosis 3
     the chords of C6 and C+7 were originally presented with their MOTRIX
          to differentiate them from each other.
     Their respective identities are all the more clearly defined
          if we dominantize them, Cm6 (Eb) and C7 (Bb), as well as the COUNTER, Fm6 (Ab).

Metamorphosis 4

-In this example of 2 consecutive applications of metamorphosis 4
     the chords at the beginning of the bars (C+7, Am-6) had no metamorphosis,
     but the others did (F6Dm7, G6Em7, Em7G6, Dm7F6).
As we dominantize each chord,
     the second function of the metamorphosed chords will be affected, so that
          C+7 - F6Dm7 - G6Em7- Am-6 - Em7G6 - Dm7F6 will become
          C7 - D7 - E7 - Am6 - Gm6 - Fm6
               all powerful Dominant-shape chords!
