September 6 - Returning Inevitably

OK, so we're not exactly all back yet, but will be soon, as first session after Labor Day, finishing up Medieval Music and proceeding apace to the Renaissance, as below...

A [Harmonic] Minor Scale

A   B   C    D   E   F G[#] A
Do Re Me Fa Sol Le [Ti] Do
                                   Te   Do

Chords in C Major

C Dm Em F G Am Bdim C

G   A   B   C   D   E   F      G
E    F   G   A   B   C    D E
C   D   E    F   G   A    B      C

I    ii   iii   IV V vi   viio   I

[N.B. "C" = C Major Chord
           "Dm" = D Minor Chord
           "Bdim" = B Diminished Chord]

Three Periods of Music History after Ancient and Before Classical + Dates

Medieval 400-1400
Renaissance 1400-1600
Baroque 1600-1750

Three Kinds of Triads + Thirds and Fifths in Each

Major Triad    = MT = M3 + P5
Minor Triad          = mT = m3 + P5
Diminished Triad = dT   = m3 + d5

[N.B. d5 = Diminished 5th = Tritone = 3 steps]
