Lydian chord. In jazz music, the lydian chord is the major 7♯11 chord, [1] or ♯11 chord, the chord built on the first degree of the Lydian mode, the sharp eleventh being a compound augmented fourth. This chord, built on C, is shown below. This is described as "beautiful" and "modern sounding." [1] The notes that make up the Lydian chord ...
In music theory, an eleventh chord is a chord that contains the tertian extension of the eleventh. Typically found in jazz, an eleventh chord also usually includes the seventh and ninth, and elements of the basic triad structure. Variants include the dominant eleventh (C 11, C–E–G–B ♭ –D–F), minor eleventh (Cm 11, C–E ♭ –G–B ...
In music, extended chords are certain chords (built from thirds) or triads with notes extended, or added, beyond the seventh. Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords are extended chords. [2] The thirteenth is the farthest extension diatonically possible as, by that point, all seven tonal degrees are represented within the chord (the next ...

Dominant seventh chord. In music theory, a dominant seventh chord, or major minor seventh chord, [a] is a seventh chord, composed of a root, major third, perfect fifth, and minor seventh. Thus it is a major triad together with a minor seventh, denoted by the letter name of the chord root and a superscript "7". [3]
These indicate a chord formed by the notes C–E–G ♯ –B ♭. The three parts of the symbol (C, aug, and 7) refer to the root C, the augmented (fifth) interval from C to G ♯, and the (minor) seventh interval from C to B ♭ . Although they are used occasionally in classical music, typically in an educational setting for harmonic analysis ...
