  2. Diatonic and chromatic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_and_chromatic

    Bernhard Ziehn's 1907 list of, "diatonic triads", diatonic seventh-chords," and two examples of, "diatonic ninth-chords," the "large" and "small" ninth chords; all from the C major or the C harmonic minor scale [28] Diatonic chords are generally understood as those that are built using only notes from the same diatonic scale; all other chords ...

  3. Harmonic major scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_major_scale

    Harmonic major scale on C. The harmonic major scale may also be considered a synthetic scale, primarily used for implying and relating to various altered chords, with major and minor qualities in each tetrachord. [3] Thus the musical effect of the harmonic major scale is a sound intermediate between harmonic minor and diatonic major, and ...

  4. Chord-scale system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord-scale_system

    In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]

  5. Chord progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression

    A chord built upon the note E is an E chord of some type (major, minor, diminished, etc.) Chords in a progression may also have more than three notes, such as in the case of a seventh chord (V 7 is particularly common, as it resolves to I) or an extended chord. The harmonic function of any particular chord depends on the context of the ...

  6. Roman numeral analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis

    The seventh scale degree is very often raised a half step to form a leading tone, making the dominant chord (V) a major chord (i.e. V major instead of v minor) and the subtonic chord (vii), a diminished chord (vii o, instead of ♭ VII). This version of minor scale is called the harmonic minor scale.

  7. Harmonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonization

    In music, harmonization is the chordal accompaniment to a line or melody: "Using chords and melodies together, making harmony by stacking scale tones as triads". [2] A harmonized scale can be created by using each note of a musical scale as a root note for a chord and then by taking other tones within the scale building the rest of a chord. [3]

  8. Mode (music) - Wikipedia

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

    [citation needed] From that, we can list the scales and the triad qualities and the seventh chord qualities in each scale as degrees of Dorian mode and Aeolian dominant scale (Dorian ♯3 ♭6 scale) and Neapolitan major scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯7 scale) and double harmonic scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯3 ♭6 ♯7 scale) and the two types of Dorian ...

  9. Major chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_chord

    In harmonic analysis and on lead sheets, a C major chord can be notated as C, CM, CΔ, or Cmaj. A major triad is represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 7}. A major triad can also be described by its intervals : the interval between the bottom and middle notes is a major third, and the interval between the middle and top notes is a minor third .
