![]() ![]() ![]() Knowing your scales can help identify triads, especially in a key with lots of sharps or flats where many of the possible altered notes are double sharps or flats.We only have these 4 types of triads (in Tertian Harmony), Any adjustment of the structure of these 4 triad typs results in creating a different triad from the 4 types. Note that all 3rds are either major or minor! Don’t even worry about diminished thirds. Quartal/Quintal Harmony (Stacked 4th’s/5th’s), not what we primarily study, but still important to keep in mind. (diatonic triad, stacked thirds, is not necessarily the same as a “triad”-implies any collection of three pitches) Tertian Harmnoy: Harmony based on stacked thirds. Root Position: 5/3 (or no inversion figure) THE ROOT AND THE BASS NOTE OF A CHORD ARE NOTE THE SAME. To “un-invert” a triad (turn it into root position) put the root on the bottom. Notice how none of the above triads use augmented thirds or diminished thirds.Ī root position triad with the root on the bottom (lowest note).Ī first inversion triad has the chordal third on the bottom.Ī second inversion triad has the chordal fifth on the bottom. Creates a diminished fifth between the root and the fifth. Creates a perfect fifth between the root and the fifth.ĭiminished: m3 + m3. Creates a perfect fifth between the root and the fifth. Creates an augmented fifth between the root and the fifth. The type of triad is determined by the quality of the thirds that make up the triad.įour qualities of triads: Augmented, Major, Minor, and Diminished.Īugmented: M3 + M3. In tonal harmony, a triad is a chord with three notes made up of two thirds stacked on top of eachother. ![]()
