  2. Neo-Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory

    Thus, C major and E minor triads are close by virtue of requiring only a single semitonal shift to move from one to the other. Motion between proximate harmonies is described by simple transformations. For example, motion between a C major and E minor triad, in either direction, is executed by an "L" transformation.

  3. Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_theory

    For example, Seitenwechsel ("die Seiten wechseln" translates as "to exchange sides") mapped a triad on to its parallel minor or major, transforming C major to C minor and conversely. [7] Riemann's theory of transformations formed the basis for Neo-Riemannian theory , which expanded the idea of transformations beyond the basic tonal triads that ...

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

    That is, a song or other vocal or instrumental piece can be in the key of C major or A minor, but a song or some other piece cannot be in the key of B diminished or F augmented (although songs or other pieces might include these triads within the triad progression, typically in a temporary, passing role). Three of these four kinds of triads are ...

  5. Minor chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_chord

    A minor triad has a minor third (m3) on the bottom, a major third (M3) on top, and a perfect fifth (P5) between the outer notes. In harmonic analysis and on lead sheets, a C minor chord can be notated as Cm, C−, Cmin, or simply the lowercase "c". A minor triad is represented by the integer notation {0, 3, 7}.

  7. Mode (music) - Wikipedia

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

    By the early 19th century, the word "mode" had taken on an additional meaning, in reference to the difference between major and minor keys, specified as "major mode" and "minor mode". At the same time, composers were beginning to conceive "modality" as something outside of the major/minor system that could be used to evoke religious feelings or ...

  8. Major and minor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_and_minor

    Major and minor third in a major chord: major third 'M' on bottom, minor third 'm' on top. Major and minor may also refer to scales and chords that contain a major third or a minor third, respectively. A major scale is a scale in which the third scale degree (the mediant) is a major third above the tonic note.

  9. Major chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_chord

    A major triad has a major third (M3) on the bottom, a minor third (m3) on top, and a perfect fifth (P5) between the outer notes. 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}.
