Ordinal Number
In set theory, an ordinal number, or ordinal, is a generalization of ordinal numerals (first, second, th, etc.) aimed to extend enumeration to infinite sets. A finite set can be enumerated by successively labeling each element with the least natural number that has not been previously used. To extend this process to various infinite sets, ordinal numbers are defined more generally using linearly ordered greek letter variables that include the natural numbers and have the property that every set of ordinals has a least or "smallest" element (this is needed for giving a meaning to "the least unused element"). This more general definition allows us to define an ordinal number \omega (omega) to be the least element that is greater than every natural number, along with ordinal numbers , , etc., which are even greater than . A linear order such that every non-empty subset has a least element is called a well-order. The axiom of choice implies that every set can be well-orde ...

Sixth Chord
The term ''sixth chord'' refers to two different kinds of Chord (music), chord, one in classical music and the other in modern popular music. The original meaning of the term is a ''chord in first inversion'', in other words with its third (chord), third in the bass note, bass and its root (chord), root a Interval (music), sixth above it. This is how the term is still used in classical music today, and in this sense it is called also a chord of the sixth. In modern popular music, a sixth chord is any triad (music), triad with an added sixth above the root as a Factor (chord), chord factor. This was traditionally (and in classical music is still today) called an ''Added tone chord, added sixth chord'' or ''triad with added sixth'' since Jean-Philippe Rameau (''sixte ajoutée'') in the 18th century. It is not common to designate Inverted chord, chord inversions in popular music, so there is no need for a term designating the first inversion of a chord, and so the term ''sixth chord'' ...

The 6ths
The 6ths was a band created by Stephin Merritt, also the primary songwriter and instrumentalist behind The Magnetic Fields, The Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes. In the group, Merritt wrote and played songs which were then sung, in most cases, by other artists—a different artist on each track. It produced two well-received studio albums and many different collaborations. Releases The two albums the band released were ''Wasps' Nests'' in 1995 ( Factory Too via London Records) and ''Hyacinths and Thistles'' in 2000. ''Wasps' Nests'' was preceded by a 7" vinyl single of album track "Heaven in a Black Leather Jacket" in 1993 on Merge Records that contains a B-side, "Rot in the Sun", sung by Merritt himself. The song was also later included on Merritt's '' Obscurities'' compilation in 2011. The names of both albums, as well as the name of the band, are deliberate tongue-twisters. The words are chosen for their abundance of ''s'' and ''th'' sounds; ''sixths'' alone packs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Sixth (1981 Film)
''The Sixth'' (, translit. ''Shestoy'') is a 1981 Soviet action film directed by Samvel Gasparov at Gorky Film Studio. Plot ''The Sixth'' is a parable about lawlessness and bureaucracy in the aftermath of the Great October Revolution. The film could be categorized as an " Ostern" type of movie, with a lawman hero who faces up to corruption against the odds, although no one around has any faith in his abilities. It is set in 1923 and the Russian Civil War has come to an end, although the situation is still dangerous in some regions. An elusive band of White guards is hiding in the mountains, raiding Soviet institutions and making short work of the representatives of local government. Five chiefs have already been killed by the "whites" and the intimidated townsfolk believe the sixth one is also doomed. The protagonist is the sixth militia A militia ( ) is a military or paramilitary force that comprises civilian members, as opposed to a professional standing army ...

Sixth (interval)
Below is a list of intervals expressible in terms of a prime limit (see Terminology), completed by a choice of intervals in various equal subdivisions of the octave or of other intervals. For commonly encountered harmonic or melodic intervals between pairs of notes in contemporary Western music theory, without consideration of the way in which they are tuned, see . Terminology *The '' prime limit'' Fox, Christopher (2003). "Microtones and Microtonalities", ''Contemporary Music Review'', v. 22, pt. 1–2. (Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK: Routledge): p. 13. henceforth referred to simply as the ''limit'', is the largest prime number occurring in the factorizations of the numerator and denominator of the frequency ratio describing a rational interval. For instance, the limit of the just perfect fourth (4:3) is 3, but the just minor tone (10:9) has a limit of 5, because 10 can be factored into (and 9 into ). There exists another type of limit, the '' odd limit'', a concept used by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Landini Sixth
A Landini cadence (Landini sixth or Landini sixth cadence), or under-third cadence, is a type of cadence, a technique in music composition, named after Francesco Landini (1325–1397), an influential Italian composer, in honor of his extensive use of the technique. The technique was used extensively in the 14th and early 15th century. In a typical Medieval In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, similarly to the post-classical period of World history (field), global history. It began with the fall of the West ... cadence, a major sixth musical interval is expanded to an octave by having each note move outwards one step. In Landini's version, an escape tone in the upper voice narrows the interval briefly to a perfect fifth before the octave. There could also be an inner voice; in the example the inner voice would move from F to G, in the same rhythm as the lower voice. Landini ...

Submediant
In music, the submediant is the sixth degree () of a diatonic scale. The submediant ("lower mediant") is named thus because it is halfway between the tonic and the subdominant ("lower dominant") or because its position below the tonic is symmetrical to that of the mediant above. (See the figure in the Degree (music) article.) In the movable do solfège system, the submediant is sung as ''la'' in a major mode, ''le'' or ''lo'' in do-based minor and ''fa'' in la-based minor. It is occasionally called superdominant, as the degree above the dominant. This is its normal name (''sus-dominante'') in French. In Roman numeral analysis, the triad formed on the submediant is typically symbolized by "VI" if it is a major triad (the default in a minor mode) and by "vi" if it is a minor triad (the default in a major mode). The term ''submediant'' may also refer to a relationship of musical keys. For example, relative to the key of C major, the key of A minor is the submediant. In ...

Augmented Sixth
In music, an augmented sixth () is an Interval (music), interval produced by Augmentation (music), widening a major sixth by a chromatic semitone.Benward & Saker (2003). ''Music: In Theory and Practice, Vol. I'', p.54. . Specific example of an A6 not given but general example of augmenting major intervals described. For instance, the interval from C to A is a major sixth, nine semitones wide, and both the intervals from C to A, and from C to A are augmented sixths, spanning ten semitones. Being augmented, it is considered a consonance and dissonance, dissonant interval. Its Inverted chord, inversion is the diminished third, and its enharmonic equivalent is the minor seventh. In septimal meantone temperament, it is specifically equivalent to the harmonic seventh (a just intonation, just interval of 7:4). In 12-tone equal temperament, the augmented sixth is equal to ten semitones and is a consonance and dissonance, dissonant interval. The augmented sixth is relatively rare. Its ...

Six (number)
6 (six) is the natural number following 5 and preceding 7. It is a composite number and the smallest perfect number. In mathematics A six-sided polygon is a hexagon, one of the three regular polygons capable of tiling the plane. A hexagon also has 6 edges as well as 6 internal and external angles. 6 is the second smallest composite number. It is also the first number that is the sum of its proper divisors, making it the smallest perfect number. It is also the only perfect number that doesn't have a digital root of 1. 6 is the first unitary perfect number, since it is the sum of its positive proper unitary divisors, without including itself. Only five such numbers are known to exist. 6 is the largest of the four all-Harshad numbers. 6 is the 2nd superior highly composite number, the 2nd colossally abundant number, the 3rd triangular number, the 4th highly composite number, a pronic number, a congruent number, a harmonic divisor number, and a semiprime. 6 is ...

Diminished Sixth
In classical music from Western culture, a diminished sixth () is an Interval (music), interval produced by Diminution, narrowing a minor sixth by a chromatic semitone.Benward & Saker (2003). ''Music: In Theory and Practice, Vol. I'', p.54. . Specific example of an d6 not given but general example of minor intervals described. For example, the interval from A to F is a minor sixth, eight semitones wide, and both the intervals from A to F, and from A to F are diminished sixths, spanning seven semitones. Being diminished, it is considered a consonance and dissonance, dissonant interval,Benward & Saker (2003), p.92. despite being equivalent to an interval known for its consonance. Its Inversion (interval), inversion is the augmented third, and its Enharmonic equivalency, enharmonic equivalent is the perfect fifth. "Wolf fifth" A severely Consonance and dissonance, dissonant diminished sixth is observed when a fixed-pitch instrument limited to twelve notes per octave is tuned us ...

Minor Sixth
In music theory, a minor sixth is a musical interval encompassing six staff positions (see Interval number for more details), and is one of two commonly occurring sixths (the other one being the major sixth). It is qualified as ''minor'' because it is the smaller of the two: the minor sixth spans eight semitones, the major sixth nine. For example, the interval from A to F is a minor sixth, as the note F lies eight semitones above A, and there are six staff positions from A to F. Diminished and augmented sixths span the same number of staff positions, but consist of a different number of semitones (seven and ten respectively). Equal temperament In 12-tone equal temperament (12-ET), the minor sixth is enharmonically equivalent to the augmented fifth. It occurs in first inversion major and dominant seventh chords and second inversion minor chords. It is equal to eight semitones, i.e. a ratio of 28/12:1 or simplified to 22/3:1 (about 1.587), or 800 cents. Just temperament ...
