MAJOR 9TH MUSIC CHORD
|
| MAJOR 9TH A Major 9th chord is a group of harmonic notes that has a very complete sound. And this chord should sound complete - since it has 5 notes. It begins with a common Major chord, and then not only adds the ninth note of the scale to that chord, but also a dominant 7th note (flatted 7th) to it. To determine which notes are to be used for this chord, let us look at a scale. We will use a scale in the key of C to show how this chord is put together: Scale in Key of C
A scale in the key of C shown above are the normal notes that one might expect in a song. Instead of calling the notes C, D, E, etc. or 1, 2, 3 , we also could think of the sequence as the singing notes: do, re, me fa, so, la ti do. Chromatic Scale starting with C
A chromatic scale is all of the possible musical notes - and not just the notes in the C scale. Note that between two "whole steps" such as C to D, that there is a "half step" in between, that we could call C# (C sharp) or we could also call Db (D flat). Note that C# and Db are the same note, and could be called by either name. Basically, one half step down from D is the same as one half step up from C. In this case, a Major 9th chord is made up of the 1st, 3rd 5th, dominant 7th (flatted 7th) and 9th notes of the scale. For a C Major 9th chord then (key of C), the notes of this chord would be: C, E, G, Bb and D. This chord would be abbreviated: CM9 |
