	Fifth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dominant, and the chord built on the dominant, is often simply called the fifth as it is the fifth scale degree.
		In daily use, a fifth is also one-fifth of a gallon, or 757 mL.
		It was usually only used as a measure of an amount of hard liquor or wine, such as a fifth of vodka or tequila.

	Interval (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 16th-century usage, perfect fifths and octaves, and major and minor thirds and sixths were considered harmonically consonant, and all other intervals dissonant.
		The inversion of a major interval is a minor interval (and vice versa); the inversion of a perfect interval is also perfect; the inversion of an augmented interval is a diminished interval (and vice versa); and the inversion of a double augmented interval is a double diminished interval (and vice versa).
		Interval cycles, "unfold a single recurrent interval in a series that closes with a return to the initial pitch class", and are notated by George Perle using the letter "C", for cycle, with an interval class integer to distinguish the interval.

		Diminished - The term for an interval which has been decreased from the major by two half steps and from the perfect by one half step, e.g.
		c-a, diminished sixth, or c-g, a diminished fifth.
		Intervals of the fifth may be perfect (corresponding to major), diminished, or augmented.

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Basic Theory
		For example, the tritone interval from C to Gb, which is actually the same as the interval from C to F#, is called a diminished fifth, because the interval from C to G is a perfect fifth.
		In the case of a diminished triad, the third added can either be a minor third, which creates a fully diminished seventh (for example, A C Eb Gb, or Adim) or a major third, which creates a half diminished seventh (for example, B D F A, or Bm7b5).
		Fully diminished chords and augmented chords are used as well, but as will be seen, they are often used as substitutes for one of these four basic types of chords.

		The easy way is to memorize that the chords built upon the first, fourth, and fifth notes of the scale are major, the ones built upon the second, third, and sixth notes of the scale are minor, and the one on the seventh is diminshed.
		You can also build the chords in other keys and verify the rule that that chords built on the first, fourth, and fifth note of the scale are major; the ones built on the second, third, and sixth note of the scale are minor; and the one built on the seventh note is diminished.
		Diminished triads are symbolized by a lower case Roman numeral with a superscripted zero (or a degree symbol), which I can't notate in ascii, so I'll just use a lower case "o".

	Triad Chords (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The root is the lowest note, the third is the second note, and the fifth is the last note.
		The quality of a triad is determined by the type of it's third and fifth which will basically be sharp, flat, double sharp, or double flat.
		Diminished Triads - A diminished triad is formed by stacking a minor third above the root and a minor third above the minor third which would form the top of the chord or fifth.

		The strongest form of motion has root movement by fifth, which is the characteristic sound used as finality in most music of the baroque and classical periods, and is also exploited to modulate a piece of music into a different key.
		The five down a perfect fifth to the I chord and the VII chord up a minor second to the I chord, due to the expected resolution of the tritone, or the highly unstable diminished fifth which is present in a diatonic VII chord.
		The II and IV chords have Subdominant Function, partially due to the fact that they are a fifth away from the Dominant chords of a key, and partially because in their own Tonic keys, their respective Dominant chords are built on the root notes of the stable Tonic function I and VI.

	Music:Consonance and Dissonance - Wikibooks
		The tritone (an augmented fourth or diminished fifth) is dissonant.
		In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was known as diabolus in musica because the perfect fifth was considered to be a reflection of the divine, and the tritone falls just short of a perfect fifth.
		This means that the augmented fourth, which comprises three whole-tones, is a true tritone, while the diminished fifth, because of its accidental-spelling, is not made up of three whole-tones and is therefore not a tritone.

		As explained in chords and scales, the perfect fifth is also the only interval by which you can cycle all the way through the whole major scale.
		The interval between the leading note and subdominant of a major scale is a diminished fifth, so these notes have to be at the top and bottom respectively (C# and G in D major).
		In order to modulate a up fifth (from D to A), you take the bottom note of the scale arranged as a series of fifths, raise it by a semitone and move it to the top of the series.

	Perfect fifth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The musical interval of a perfect fifth is the relationship between the first note (the root or tonic) and the fifth note in a major scale.
		The circle of fifths is a model of pitch space for the chromatic scale (chromatic circle) which considerness nearness not as adjacency but as perfect fifths.
		The perfect fifth is considered the most consonant interval outside of the unison and octave.

	Sonic Glossary: Fifth
		The fifth is crucial to all tonal harmony.
		By taking the triads that lie a perfect fifth apart from one another - that is, the triads built on the tonic, the dominant, and the subdominant - we have the three most important chords in tonal harmony: chords I, V, and IV, familiar to all players of the guitar.
		The triads and keys of the tonic, dominant and subdominant, which are separated by perfect fifths, are the most important components of tonal harmony, and the most frequent goals of modulation.

		A diminished fifth and an augmented fourth are both six half-steps, or three whole tones, so another term for this interval is a tritone.
		The inversion of an augmented interval is diminished and of a diminished interval is augmented.

		And a diminished fifth is a perfect fifth made a half step smaller, or flatted.
		It's a diminished triad with a diminished-seventh interval added to it (a diminished seventh is a minor seventh that’s been made one half step smaller).
		One essential use for a diminished chord is as a connection between I and ii; try Example 3, in which you connect D and Em by way of a D#dim7 chord.

	music theory basics - chords
		A triads basic quality is determined by the typed of thirds (major or minor) are used, and their position in the triad.
		Minor triads also have one of each kind of third, but their minor third is on the bottom (between root and third), with a major third between the third and fifth.
		This means one less half step between the root and the fifth than is found in major and minor chords, making a diminished fifth.

		By changing the C minor chord's Perfect fifth G to a diminished fifth Gb, the chord is called a C diminished chord.

		The sequence for perfect intervals (unisons, octaves, fourths and fifths) is double diminished - diminished - perfect - augmented - double augmented as the interval to the key-note is increasingly widened.
		The sequence for major and minor intervals (seconds, thirds, sixths and sevenths) is double diminished - diminished - minor - major - augmented - double augmented as the interval to the key-note is increasingly widened.
		For example, the interval 'C to G' is a perfect fifth while the interval 'C to A double flat' is a diminished sixth, but to the listener, the two intervals played on a modern piano, sound identical.

		There is a close relationship between any two keys whose tonics are a perfect fifth apart (the page on fifth-related major keys looks at the example of D and A major).
		The easiest way to write all the flattened and sharpened notes of the chromatic scale in a series of perfect fifths is to start with the scale of C major organised as a series of perfect fifths.
