"A passage in a given key ending in a cadence might be followed by the same passage [[Transposition (music)|transposed]] (up or down) to another key," this being known as sequential modulation.<ref>[[George Heussenstamm|Heussenstamm, George]] (2011). ''Hal Leonard Harmony & Theory – Part 2: Chromatic''<!--unpaginated-->. {{ISBN|9781476841212}}.</ref> Although a [[Sequence (music)|sequence]] does not have to modulate, it is also possible to modulate by way of a sequence. A sequential modulation is also called rosalia. The sequential passage will begin in the home key, and may move either [[Diatonic and chromatic|diatonically or chromatically]]. Harmonic function is generally disregarded in a sequence, or, at least, it is far less important than the sequential motion. For this reason, a sequence may end at a point that suggests a different [[tonality]] than the home key, and the composition may continue naturally in that key.
