In music theory, a ninth chord is a chord that encompasses the interval of a ninth when arranged in close position with the root in the bass.
There is a difference between a Major Ninth chord and a Dominant Ninth chord. A dominant ninth is a dominant chord (and minor 7th) with a ninth. A major ninth chord (e.g., Cmaj9), as an extended chord, adds the major seventh along with the ninth to the major triad. Thus, a Cmaj9 consists of C E G B and D play . When the symbol "9" is not preceded by the word "major" or "maj" (e.g., C9), the chord is a Dominant 9th. That is, the implied seventh chord is a dominant seventh, i.e. a major triad plus the minor seventh, to which the ninth is add: e.g., a C9 consists of C E G B♭ and D
play . C Dominant Ninth (C9) would usually be expected to resolve to an F major chord (the implied key, C being the dominant of F). The ninth is commonly chromatically altered by half-step either up or down to create more tension and dissonance. Fétis tuned the chord 4:5:6:7:9.
In music, a ninth is a compound interval consisting of an octave plus a second.
Like the second, the interval of a ninth is classified as a dissonance in common practice tonality. Since a ninth is an octave larger than a second, its sonority level is considered less dense.
A major ninth is a compound musical interval spanning 14 semitones, or an octave plus 2 semitones. If transposed into a single octave, it becomes a major second or minor seventh. The major ninth is somewhat dissonant in sound.
Some common transposing instruments sound a major ninth lower than written. These include the tenor saxophone, the bass clarinet, the baritone/euphonium when written in treble clef, and the trombone when written in treble clef (British brass band music).
When baritone/euphonium or trombone parts are written in bass clef or tenor clef they sound as written.
A minor ninth (m9 or -9) is a compound musical interval spanning 13 semitones, or 1 semitone above an octave (thus it is enharmonically equivalent to an augmented octave). If transposed into a single octave, it becomes a minor second or major seventh. The minor ninth is rather dissonant in sound, and in European classical music, often appears as a suspension. Béla Bartók wrote a study in minor 9ths for piano. The fourth movement (an intermezzo) of Robert Schumann's Faschingsschwank aus Wien, is a constructed to feature prominent notes of the melody a minor ninth above the accompaniment:
I'm from the ninth ward
(Been there since the day I was born)
From the ninth ward
(Got us coming up like a storm)
From the ninth ward
(Niggas better sound the alarm)
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard
Bitch, I was born and raised in the ninth ward
So you niggas don't bother me
You can say what you may about the ninth ward
But I bet you won't follow me
'Cross that canal where my niggas dwell
You know me well
'Cause I sold rocks, upon my block
Till I was hotter than hell
Every nigga down here remember me
Nothin' really changed but my gold teeth
I'm still that same nigga from my Flood Street
Only difference now is that I'm on my feet
And I don't sell dope no mo'
Don't rob no mo'
Mane a nigga don't plot no mo'
'Cause I'm performing in shows
Shakin' off hoes
Smokin' on optimos
It'll be a World War 3 fuck with me
Now my niggas won't let that ride
I'm the only nigga out there screaming 9th Ward
So people tryin' to keep me alive
Everywhere I go they see the nine on my arm
And they swear that I'm in a gang
But nigga this is a warning, I'm 'bout my hands
Like I'm 'bout them motherfucking thangs
I'm trouble starter just like my father
He was raised in the nine
So if you cut my arm it still tated in my mind
No matter millions or which ever the situation might come
I'll never forget you niggas
Never forget where the fuck I'm from
I'm from the ninth ward
(Been there since the day I was born)
From the ninth ward
(Got us coming up like a storm)
From the ninth ward
(Niggas better sound the alarm)
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard
I'm from the ninth ward
(Been there since the day I was born)
From the ninth ward
(Got us coming up like a storm)
From the ninth ward
(Niggas better sound the alarm)
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard
You know, you could take the nigga out the nine
But you can't take the nine out of nigga
Pulling capers is my nature
I'm addicted to making paper
Got my own way of living
Bitch, I'm from the C T C
Where niggas roam around looking for beef
Killing for free
I take this ward shit to heart
It's tated on my arm
So me and my niggas never part
I keep you niggas in my mind
For every clucker that I serve
For every nigga that I shot
For every tourist that I robbed
To every goddamn rock
For every cop that done chased me
To the bitches that hate me
What have you done for me lately
For every neighbor that was peeking at four o'clock in da morn
It never helped to lock me up
You could've left me alone
We learned to improvise on my block
Never had a ball
We played football wit' a concrete rock
Now picture that
I could never forget my mission
I'm a turn the nine into something bigger that yo' vision
Before I'm done the world'll scream
I'm from the ninth ward
(Been there since the day I was born)
From the ninth ward
(Got us coming up like a storm)
From the ninth ward
(Niggas better sound the alarm)
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard
I'm from the ninth ward
(Been there since the day I was born)
From the ninth ward
(Got us coming up like a storm)
From the ninth ward
(Niggas better sound the alarm)
