Magic chord (as played in The Well-Tuned Piano). [ 3 ] The Magic Chord is a chord and installation (1984) created by La Monte Young , consisting of the pitches E, F, A, B ♭ , D, E, G, and A, in ascending order and used in works including his The Well-Tuned Piano and Chronos Kristalla (1990). [ 1 ]
The dominant seventh (V7) chord G7=(G,B,D,F) increases the tension with the tonic (I) chord C. Adding a minor seventh to a major triad creates a dominant seventh (denoted V7). In music theory, the "dominant seventh" described here is called a major-minor seventh, emphasizing the chord's construction rather than its usual function. [27]
In music, a minor seventh chord is a seventh chord composed of a root note, a minor third, a perfect fifth, and a minor seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, ♭ 7). In other words, one could think of it as a minor triad with a minor seventh attached to it. [2] For example, the minor seventh chord built on A, commonly written as A− 7, has pitches A-C-E-G:
In major keys, the chords iii and vi are often substituted for the I chord, to add interest. In the key of C major, the I major 7 chord is "C, E, G, B," the iii chord ("III–7" [11]) is E minor 7 ("E, G, B, D") and the vi minor 7 chord is A minor 7 ("A, C, E, G"). Both of the tonic substitute chords use notes from the tonic chord, which means ...
Sometimes, especially in blues music, musicians will take chords which are normally minor chords and make them major. The most popular example is the I–VI–ii–V–I progression; normally, the vi chord would be a minor chord (or m 7, m 6, m ♭ 6 etc.) but here the major third makes it a secondary dominant leading to ii, i.e. V/ii.
Backdoor compared with the dominant (front door) in the chromatic circle: they share two tones and are transpositionally equivalent. In jazz and jazz harmony, the chord progression from iv 7 to ♭ VII 7 to I (the tonic or "home" chord) has been nicknamed the backdoor progression [1] [2] or the backdoor ii-V, as described by jazz theorist and author Jerry Coker.
