In music, a seven six chord is a chord containing both factors a sixth and a seventh above the root, making it both an added chord and a seventh chord. However, the term may mean the first inversion of an added ninth chord (E–G–C–D).
The sixth inversion of a thirteenth chord is the highest possible diatonic inversion, since the diatonic scale has seven notes. (The "seventh" inversion of the dominant thirteenth chord is root position.) Higher inversions would require chromaticism and either nonscale tones or scales with more than seven tones.
The term sixth chord refers to two different kinds of chord, the first in classical music and the second in modern popular music. [1] [2]The original meaning of the term is a chord in first inversion, in other words with its third in the bass and its root a sixth above it.
The added-sixth chord (notated "6") is rarely inverted since it shares its notes with a seventh chord a minor third down (e.g. C 6 has the same notes as an Am 7), although a counterexample is The 5th Dimension's recorded version of "Stoned Soul Picnic" (on 5). [7]
The accompaniment performers translate the Roman numerals to the specific chords that would be used in a given key. In the key of E major, the diatonic chords are: E maj7 becomes I maj7 (also I ∆7, or simply I) F ♯ m 7 becomes II m7 (also II −7, II min7, IIm, or II −) G ♯ m 7 becomes III m7 (also III −7, III min7, IIIm, or III −)
It does not accurately represent the chord progressions of all the songs it depicts. It was originally written in D major (thus the progression being D major, A major, B minor, G major) and performed live in the key of E major (thus using the chords E major, B major, C♯ minor, and A major). The song was subsequently published on YouTube. [9]
In jazz music, on the other hand, such chords are extremely common, and in this setting the mystic chord can be viewed simply as a C 13 ♯ 11 chord with the fifth omitted. In the score to the right is an example of a Duke Ellington composition that uses a different voicing of this chord at the end of the second bar, played on E (E 13 ♯ 11).
