Yep! I would say they would. The examples in the video are the more common ones I've come across, but essentially any iii or vi chord that has altered note(s) I would consider a chromatic mediant! Did you have an example in mind? I'd love to hear it! Diminished chords are my favorite and always enjoy hearing examples of them.
Hello . I have one question , in the video you said that in Ab minor ( we have a Cb note not a note B ) i am confused here . Enharmoic note . How so ? Cb does not mean B ? And one more thing why only E note is mediant here ?? From C to E ( E is mediant ok ) Now from E to G ( why G is not mediant note ?) Then from G to B ( B note ) ? Thank you so much
Hey there! Thank you for your questions! I’ll try to answer them the best I can :) Let’s talk about the Ab minor chord first! The notes of Ab minor are: Ab, Cb, and Eb. If you look at the note “Cb” on a piano, it would be the piano note “B”. The note “Cb” and “B” have the same pitch (meaning the sound of the note when it’s played) and this means that they are “enharmonic”. Enharmonic means two notes that are spelled differently but have the same pitch. However, you would not want to say an Ab minor chord has the note “B”. This is because a minor chord needs a minor third interval. So a minor third interval up from the note Ab is the note Cb, not the note B! This is why you call it Cb and not B. However, you usually only run into this type of thing when you are notating music, usually for a large band orchestra in particular. I liked your question so I may make a video on this in the near future so stay tuned! Because this is admittedly a tough topic to explain in words. With that said, here’s a couple links anyway if you’d like some more info on them; the Brittanica link in particular explains why proper notation can be important! musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/EnharmonicNotes.html www.britannica.com/art/enharmonic hellomusictheory.com/learn/enharmonic-equivalents/ For your next question, the mediant is the third scale degree in a major scale and you can only have one mediant. The tonic is the important note, and all the other notes are in relation to it. So in our C major scale, the mediant note is the note E and that would be our only mediant! You are on the right track though in recognizing the interval distances! For example, if you look at the notes of the G major scale (G A B C D E F#), the third note of that major scale is the note “B”, which would be our mediant! So remember, the scale degree names always refer to their relationship with the tonic note, not with each other! Thank you again for your questions! It means a lot that you would reach out. Feel free to comment back if you are still confused and I’ll see if I can find some resources for you! I hope this helped! :)
@@OrcastraStudio Thank you so much ❤️ No words i have . Awesomeeeeeee Job Brother Really awesome . Keep it up . Will share these videos to my friends also
Good vids, mate! So, chr mediants have a relation of up or down by min3 or maj3 interval between them. So between any neighbouring chords (ex. C A Csharp E C)?? And I can also insert a chr mediant after or before any chord as a kinda insertion/spice (Am C ‘Eb’ G )?? So theoretically all what matters is a relationship between a chr mediant and neighboring chords?? Or is there other theoretical ways of using these fukkkers?? Thnx❤.
When using these alter the modes as well ? So if I flatted the 6th chord in C maj would I need to use a altered aeolian if I wanted to use natural minor scale
Really liked your video , very informative very useful also. Thanks a lot ❤️
You're welcome!! It means a lot the video helped you!!
I like the flat 6 major chord, it sounds similar to the 4 minor chord which is a sound my ears really enjoy.
I LOVE the minor 4 chord! Such an underrated chord haha
Do diminished and augmented iii and vi chords count as chromatic mediants?
Yep! I would say they would. The examples in the video are the more common ones I've come across, but essentially any iii or vi chord that has altered note(s) I would consider a chromatic mediant!
