:) So while the "1-3-5" note intervals and the "I IV V" roman numerals are different concepts they are also closely related. We've come full circle right back to the roman numeral pattern. Now apply the roman numeral convention that Shevliaskovic mentioned to this pattern and you get: I ii iii IV V vi vii° Notice the order of the major, minor, and diminished chords. Now, if you look at the pattern of chords created here, you get: C major D minor E minor F major G major A minor B diminished If you continue this process for all the notes, you get: 1-3-5 = C-E-G = C major chordĤ-6-1 = F-A-C = F major chord (note the wrap around back to "1" here) Move to the next number and take the notes labeled 2-4-6 you get D-F-A which is a D minor chord. You can apply this process to each note in the major scale to build different the chords from the scale. This process is also called "stacking 3rds" because the notes are a 3rd apart. If you take the notes labeled 1-3-5 from the C major scale you get C-E-G, which is a C major chord. Shevliaskovic already explained the roman numerals in a key, but let me explain the "1-3-5" you mentioned in your post, because this is a different concept.ġ-3-5 are the note intervals used to create a major chord from the major scale.įor example, take the C major scale: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-(C) Because we naturally get the chord C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and Bdim, we end up with the Roman Numerals I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, and vii°.įor more information about this, you can view the lessons about Roman Numerals on which go a little more in depth on this topic, but covers the same points. So let's look at the key of C major and the chords natrually built from it. : I+, II+, III+, IV+, V+, VI+, VII+ are all augmented. An augmented chord will always be represented by an upper case Roman Numeral I.E.: i°, ii°, iii°, iv°, v°, vi°, vii° are all diminished. A diminished chord will always be represented by an lower case Roman Numeral and a circle.: i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii are all minor. A minor chord will always be represented by an lower case Roman Numeral I.E.: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII are all major. A major chord will always be represented by an upper case Roman Numeral I.E.The specifics for the quality of the chords are as follows: The Roman Numerals that indicate major, minor, and diminished are the same in any kind of key and all keys will have seven possible Roman Numerals from 1 to 7 one for each scale degree. Also referred to as whole, whole, half, etc. The T and S at the top of this chart are for Tone (T) and Semitone (S) and shows that in a major key the intervals between notes in a diatonic major scale are - tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone semitone. Here is a chart showing the chords for all the major keys. It is a hard and fast rule that the I, IV and V chords in any diatonic major key will be major and the only major chords that can be formed from the notes in that key. But I have seen it represented differently so that is not a hard and fast rule about how to denote major versus minor. It is common to use an "uppercase" Roman Numeral to represent major chords (I, IV, V) and lower case to indicate minor (ii, iii, vi) and the little ° for diminished (vii°). When forming chords (triads) using the notes available in a diatonic major key (7 possible notes) the one, four and five chords end up being major, the two, three, and six chords minor and the seventh diminished. pp. 23, 30–31.Major keys use the one major (I) the four major (IV) and the five major (V).
