Vicky’s Corner – Secret and Sacred time.
Hi gang,
Yesterday we talked about the family of triads. Dissonant (augmented/diminished), consonant (major/minor). Think of the consonant structures as the chord that create mood, and the dissonant structures as the chords that create motion.
In this series, we will be talking about intervals. We will be focusing on major and minor thirds, and fifths. If you are not sure what they are please refer to my series on intervals.
This series will be looking at triads from a mechanical and diatonic approach. Diatonic means using notes strictly derived from a scale. We will use the C major scale as our work scale in this series. With mechanical, I am referring to the intervals that make up the chord structure.
Triads are built on three notes in thirds. Just like scales are built on major and minor seconds, chords are built on major and minor thirds. In part 3 we will start we the first of the consonant chords. The major triad which is bright in quality of sound.
