Harmonic Analysis

This progression moves through C♯aug (Dominant) → F♯ (Tonic).

The V+–I progression replaces the standard dominant with an augmented dominant, intensifying the resolution to the tonic. The raised fifth of the V+ chord resolves upward by half step to the third of the I chord, adding an extra voice-leading pull beyond the usual leading-tone resolution. This creates a lush, dramatic cadence favored in jazz and film scores.
