List of root-3rd-P5 triads in JI

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The basic structure of major and minor triads—two stacked thirds which total to a perfect fifth—can be generalized to produce an infinity of chords with their own distinct qualities. What follows is a list of all such chords that are possible in 47-prime-limit Just Intonation, assuming a 3/2 perfect fifth.

Wiki authors can feel free to extend this list beyond the 47-limit or leave it at that, but of course, it should be noted that a complete list would be infinite.

The narrowest "third" listed is 27/25, which is decidedly not a third; and the widest "third" is 25/18, which ditto. Thus, the entire conceptual category of a third and then some is covered, and composers can decide for themselves what counts as a "third" and what doesn't.
