The practice of adding tones may have led to superimposing chords and tonalities, though added tone chords have most often been used as more intense substitutes for traditional chords. [3] For instance a minor chord that includes a major second factor holds a great deal more dramatic tension due to the very close interval between the major ...
The Grandmother chord is an eleven-interval, twelve-note, invertible chord with all of the properties of the Mother chord. Additionally, the intervals are so arranged that they alternate odd and even intervals (counted by semitones) and that the odd intervals successively decrease by one whole-tone while the even intervals successively increase by one whole-tone. [13]
For example, G major and D major have 4 chords in common: G, Bm, D, Em. This can be easily determined by a chart similar to the one below, which compares chord qualities. The I chord in G major—a G major chord—is also the IV chord in D major, so I in G major and IV in D major are aligned on the chart.
The following three chords are all C-major triads in root position with different voicings. The first is in close position (the most compact voicing), while the second and third are in open position (that is, with wider spacing). Notice also that the G is doubled at the octave in the third chord; that is, it appears in two different octaves.
An arpeggio for the chord of C major going up two octaves would be the notes (C, E, G, C, E, G, C). In musical notation, a very rapid arpeggiated chord may be written with a wavy vertical line in front of the chord. Typically these are read as to be played from the lowest to highest note, though composers may specify a high to low sequence by ...
The chord factor called the "fifth" (pitch name "G") is represented in voice 2 (shown in red). The chord factor that is in the bass determines the inversion of the chord. For example, if the third is in the bass it is a first inversion chord (figured bass: 6 3) while if the seventh is in the bass the chord is in third inversion (4 2). The ...
The guitar zither (also chord zither, fretless zither, [1] [2] mandolin zither [3] or harp zither [4]) is a musical instrument consisting of a sound-box with two sets of unstopped strings. One set of strings is tuned to the diatonic , chromatic , or partially chromatic scale and the other set is tuned to make the various chords in the principal ...
