  2. Musical syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_syntax

    Concerning norms for the progression of chords in time the third aspect focuses on the relationship between chords. The patterning of chords in a cadence for example indicates a movement from a V chord to a I chord. The fact that the I chord is perceived as a resting point in a musical phrase implicates, that the single chords built up on notes ...

  3. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    The value of the two products in the chord theorem depends only on the distance of the intersection point S from the circle's center and is called the absolute value of the power of S; more precisely, it can be stated that: | | | | = | | | | = where r is the radius of the circle, and d is the distance between the center of the circle and the ...

  4. Music theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory

    Music psychology or the psychology of music may be regarded as a branch of both psychology and musicology. It aims to explain and understand musical behavior and experience , including the processes through which music is perceived, created, responded to, and incorporated into everyday life.

  5. Function (music) - Wikipedia

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

    The concept of harmonic function originates in theories about just intonation.It was realized that three perfect major triads, distant from each other by a perfect fifth, produced the seven degrees of the major scale in one of the possible forms of just intonation: for instance, the triads F–A–C, C–E–G and G–B–D (subdominant, tonic, and dominant respectively) produce the seven ...

  6. Neo-Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory

    These transformations are purely harmonic, and do not need any particular voice leading between chords: all instances of motion from a C major to a C minor triad represent the same neo-Riemannian transformation, no matter how the voices are distributed in register. Neo-Riemannian music theory's PLR operations applied to a minor chord Q.

  7. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(geometry)

    Equal chords are subtended by equal angles from the center of the circle. A chord that passes through the center of a circle is called a diameter and is the longest chord of that specific circle. If the line extensions (secant lines) of chords AB and CD intersect at a point P, then their lengths satisfy AP·PB = CP·PD (power of a point theorem).

  8. Chord (music) - Wikipedia

    Guitarist performing a C chord with G bass. In music, a chord is a group of three or more notes played simultaneously, typically consisting of a root note, a third, and a fifth. [a] Chords are the building blocks of harmony and form the harmonic foundation of a piece of music. They can be major, minor, diminished, augmented, or extended ...

  9. Cognitive musicology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_musicology

    Cognitive musicology can be differentiated from other branches of music psychology via its methodological emphasis, using computer modeling to study music-related knowledge representation with roots in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The use of computer models provides an exacting, interactive medium in which to formulate and ...
