  2. Triad (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triad_(music)

    Triads (or any other tertian chords) are built by superimposing every other note of a diatonic scale (e.g., standard major or minor scale). For example, a C major triad uses the notes C–E–G. This spells a triad by skipping over D and F. While the interval from each note to the one above it is a third, the quality of those thirds varies ...

    In the lower stave the notes E ♮ and B ♭ are given. These form a tritone which defines the dominant sound, and are the major 3rd and minor 7th of the C 7 ♯ 9 chord. In the upper stave the notes E ♭, G, and B ♭ are given together: these form an E ♭ major triad.

  4. Harmonic table note layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_table_note_layout

    Harmonic table note layout. The Harmonic Table note-layout, or tonal array, is a key layout for musical instruments that offers interesting advantages over the traditional keyboard layout. Its symmetrical, hexagonal pattern of interval sequences places the notes of the major and minor triads together.

  6. Voicing (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voicing_(music)

    In a chord, a note that is duplicated in different octaves is said to be doubled. (The term magadization is also used [citation needed] for vocal doubling at the octave, especially in reference to early music.) Doubling may also refer to a note or a melodic phrase that is duplicated at the same pitch, but played by different instruments.

  7. Major thirds tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_thirds_tuning

    In M3 tunings, the augmented fifth replaces the perfect fifth of the major triad, which is used in conventional open-tunings. [1] For example, the C-augmented triad (C, E, G ♯) has a G ♯ in place of the C-major triad's G. (The note G ♯ is enharmonically equivalent to A ♭, as noted above.)

  8. Third (chord) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_(chord)

    In music and music theory, a tenth is the note ten scale degrees from the root of a chord and also the interval between the root and the tenth.. Since there are only seven degrees in a diatonic scale the tenth degree is the same as the mediant and the interval of a tenth is a compound third.

  9. Mediant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant

    In music, the mediant (Latin: "being in the middle" [1]) is the third scale degree of a diatonic scale, being the note halfway between the tonic and the dominant. [2] In the movable do solfège system, the mediant note is sung as mi. While the fifth scale degree is almost always a perfect fifth, the mediant can be a major or minor third.
