Can you end a progression with D if the chord before it is G/D

[Jamie Songrwiter]

Say you have a descedning bass progression but the last chord stays on the same note would that work ?

[BWC]

You tell me. Does it?

[RichardT]

G/D to D should work. It's a very common resolution.

[R_A]

Any note chord or pitch can be followed or harmonised by any other. It's just a question of context. If it sounds good / 'right' to you then it is!

[shufflebeat]

!!Context dependent!!

G/D to D is a bit like Dsus to D, which is common - except see line #1.

But - if it sounds right it is right, &v/v.

[Chet Leeway]

Descending, the G to D interval is a fourth. The IV-I interval in isolation it kind of hangs there waiting for a proper resolution, but descending in the scale of D it sounds perfectly fine, since the descending notes indicate where this is supposed to end. It's all about the context and intention. If you make it work, it works.

Hey, mods! R_A's stealing my material!

I didn't know he was that desperate.

Is R_A Richard Ashcroft in disguise?

How dare you!!

…actually, that was quite funny.

As you were.

Glad we resolved that (IV-I).

Isn't that plagalarism?

[ManFromGlass]

Shhh, the Marvin Gaye family lawyers might hear you . .

[Arpangel]

Isn't that plagalarism?

No, it’s "plaguealarism"
I often repeat notes, many times, at different volumes, it makes things seem longer, and covers up mistakes, I also repeat "wrong" notes, that has the same effect and it seems like they are intentional, as for D, it’s one of my favourite notes, being of course, the root note of the scale D Minor, my favourite key, Bach loved it, that’s good enough for me.
"A" comes a close second, as does A Minor, A is more elegant that D, more delicate, D can have the habit of being a bit bombastic at times, and bloated, A is leaner, more of a Monday note, D is more of a Thursday note.

[shufflebeat]

…A is leaner, more of a Monday note, D is more of a Thursday note.

I can’t wait that long, I have Important Things to Do. Resolution should be well defined, satisfying and, above all, on the same day.

After all, this is music not cricket.

[merlyn]

The sound of I - IV - I is Handel's Hallelujah Chorus as demonstrated here by Rick Wakeman.

[tea for two]

the DoG

[MOF]

Repeating the D chord but with a different inversion would help to disguise the repetition.

[Jamie Songrwiter]

The proceeding chord is an inverted G anyway so only the bass note is repeated not the chord

I bet someone has written a piece with a dominant seventh that goes on for hours or days and at an unexpected moment resolves to a short tonic chord, and then stops.
