Ninth
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. Major ninth 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. Transposition 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. Minor ninth A minor ninth (m9 or -9) is a compound musical interval spanning 13 semit ...

Ninth Chord
In music theory, a ninth chord is a chord (music), chord that encompasses the interval (music), interval of a ninth when arranged in close and open harmony, close position with the root (chord), root in the bass (sound), bass. Heinrich Schenker and also Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov allowed the substitution of the dominant seventh, leading-tone, and leading tone half-diminished seventh chords, but rejected the concept of a ninth chord on the basis that only that on the fifth degree (music), scale degree (V9) was admitted and that Inverted chord, inversion was not allowed of the ninth chord. Dominant ninth There is a difference between a major ninth chord and a dominant ninth chord. A dominant ninth is the combination of a dominant (music), dominant chord (with a minor seventh) and a major ninth. A major ninth chord (e.g., Cmaj9), as an extended chord, adds the major seventh (chord), seventh along with the ninth to the major triad. Thus, a Cmaj9 consists of C, E, G, B and D. When ...
