An element present in some classical and popular music pieces is wherein the bass line (the lowest line of notes, usually played by the bass guitar, the string basses, or the left hand of a keyboardist) slowly descends. Often used as a type of ostinato—i.e., as a repeated figure against which other music is set, such as a varying melody line. There are two versions: Diatonic: along the scale in the key of the music. Usually, this starts on "do", so we're talking "do, ti, la, so, etc." in the bass line. Chromatic: along the chromatic scale (i.e., including the notes between ti and la, la and so, etc.) from the home note of the key to some other note. Usually, it goes down to the fifth scale degree (i.e. "so"). In both cases, there are usually a standard Chord Progressions that go along with such sequences. For diatonic sequences: I, V6, vi, V or iii6, IV, I6, ii, V in a major key, and i, VII or v6, VI, v or III6, iv, I6, ii° or ii or II, V, possibly with sevenths on the chords. Note that this is actually very close to the "Pachelbel's Canon" Progression, which may have evolved from it. The bass line goes "do, ti, la, so, fa, mi, re, so"; yes, the last note isn't quite "falling", but that's how it usually works. The so-called "Andalusian cadence" goes i-VII-VI-V. For chromatic sequences: I, V6, Ib7 or bVII, IV6, iv6, and I64 or V in major keys, substitute i for I and the last chord could also be III6 in minor keys (where the iv6 may also be replaced with an augmented sixth chord). In pop chord notation, in the key of C major, that would be C, G/B, C7/Bb; or Bb, F/A, Fm/Ab, C/G or G. You can see the bottom note going C-B-Bb-A-Ab-G; that's the essence of this trope. After hitting the fifth scale degree ("so"), other bass motion usually happens, but it's usually chromatic down to the "so". Back in the Baroque era, the chromatic Falling Bass was often used to depict (and interpreted as depicting) suffering. But back then, and during the Classical Era and Romantic Era, another progression for this same bass line was popular, which involved a lot of diminished seventh chords. The chromatic version of Andalusian cadence goes i-VII-VI-V No, it's not an instrument dropped out a 10-story window. That would just be "crashing bass". This also has nothing to do with "dropping the bass". It is requested that you add examples in chronological order. |

The Eagles' famous song "Hotel California" has an interesting subversion of this: The verse's chord progression is typical of the Falling Bass, but it keeps all the chords in root position. The result is this: Bm, F♯, A, E7, G, D, Em, F♯. Same with Wings's "Mamunia." |

Ludwig van Beethoven's "Waldstein Sonata", at the very beginning of the first movement. In C major. Beethoven's Variations on an Original Theme in C minor (WoO 80) makes even more obvious use of this. The theme breaks rhythm dramatically in the sixth bar (of eight) after the chromatically descending progression reaches G. |

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", written by Lee Hazlewood and performed by Nancy Sinatra. Technically speaking, "These Boots" is a subversion of the chromatic scale because if you listen carefully, upright bass player Chuck Berghofer is playing in microtonal increments that are smaller than semitones; according to the Other Wiki, Lee Hazlewood specifically asked him to do this. |

Mega Man: The first Wily Fortress theme in Mega Man uses the Andalusian cadence in F♯ minor. The B-section of "Wily Fortress 2" from Mega Man 3: Bm, D/A, Em/G, Bm/F♯, F♯. The intro to Mega Man 4 has basically this sequence, except that the sixth note is not scale degree 3 but scale degree 1. The main melody of Cloud Man's theme in Mega Man 7 uses A♭, G♭9, F♭, E♭. In Mega Man ZX, "En-trance Code", the music in trans server rooms, starts with this sequence, in C minor. |

The opening theme of EarthBound Beginnings, "Mother Earth", only uses four steps of the chromatic sequence faithfully, but it's still using the technique for its poignance. | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): The chorus of "Part of Your World" uses a diatonic progression in F major, albeit starting on the third scale degree (I6, V4, IV4sus2, V6, vi, iii6, ii6, V), followed by a partially chromatic variant(I, I7/4/2, vi7, iv, I4, V7/4/2, I). "Tour of the Kingdom" features a repeating four-note cadence. The chorus of "Her Voice" from the Screen-to-Stage Adaptation follows the D major scale for its first phrase, then deviates a bit for its second and third phrases. |
