(<strong>Jermaine Griggs<\/strong>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;the tritone is an interval. The tritone is considered an interval because it is also a product of the relationship between two notes.<\/p>\n<p>The tritone C-F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is bigger than C-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(a perfect fourth interval) by a half step.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, making a perfect fourth interval bigger by a half step produces the tritone (an augmented fourth interval.) A study on perfect intervals has shown that they lose their stability when they are made bigger (augmented) or smaller (diminished.)<\/p>\n<p>The inversion of the tritone produces an inverted tritone. For example, the inversion of C-F# (a tritone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces F#-C (an inverted tritone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,C&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA tritone and an inverted tritone look identical because they encompass six half steps each, however, intervals change in size and quality when inverted. The tritone (C-F#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is an augmented fourth interval, while the inverted tritone (F#-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,C&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the tritone has two intervallic structures &#8211; the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth structures. Also take note that augmented and diminished intervals are dissonant and the tritone (which is an augmented fourth\/diminished fifth interval), is no exception.<\/p>\n<h3>A Brief History On The Tritone<\/h3>\n<p>The tritone was discovered in Medieval Ages (between 400 and 1400 AD), when most of the trained musicians were church men and the earliest tritone that was discovered on the piano was between F and B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,B,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIn Medieval times, music was considered as a sacrifice unto God and was predominantly based on perfect fourth and fifth intervals.<\/p>\n<p>All the fourth intervals between white notes on the piano&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A-D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,D,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;B-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,E,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;C-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;D-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,G,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;E-A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,A,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are perfect, except F and B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,B,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a tritone (aka &#8211; &#8220;an augmented fourth interval&#8221;.) The tritone is harsh, unpleasant, unstable and had the tendency to move to stable intervals when played.<\/p>\n<p>While other perfect fourth intervals were used in church music, the tritone was attributed to the devil, hence its name <em>diabolus in musica <\/em>meaning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/devil-music-tritones-vs-augmented-4ths-diminished-5ths\">the devil in music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well, over the years, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/devils-interval\">devil&#8217;s interval has finally made it to church<\/a> and has not only become the toast of gospel music but of jazz music as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the tritone in all twelve keys&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C and F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Fs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,G,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD and G#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Gs,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb and A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,A,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE and A#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,As,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF and B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,B,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,C&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG and C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Cs&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb and D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,D,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA and D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,Ds,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB and E#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,Es,&amp;color=999900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Resolution Of The Tritone To Major\/Minor Chords<\/h2>\n<p>Classical musicians have a unique way of resolving the tritone to major chords and I&#8217;ll be showing you that in this segment.
