When a piece of music is in a major key, the relative minor means the minor key which has the same key signature. It can be found by taking the sixth note of the first scale and playing a minor scale starting on that note. For example: in C major the sixth note is an A. Therefore, A minor is the relative minor of C major (C major and A minor share the same key signature: no sharps or flats). C major is called the relative major of A minor. A complete list of relative minor/major pairs in order of the circle of fifths is: Key signature Major key Minor key B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } C flat major A flat minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } G flat major E flat minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } D flat major B flat minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } A flat major F minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } E flat major C minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } ♭ {displaystyle flat } B flat major G minor B ♭ {displaystyle flat } F major D minor C major A minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } G major E minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } D major B minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } A major F sharp minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } E major C sharp minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } B major G sharp minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } F sharp major D sharp minor F ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } ♯ {displaystyle sharp } C sharp major A sharp minor

What is the highest note in a chord called?

Often the melody is the highest note in the chord, but it doesn't have to be. It's common to have a variant harmonisation of a hymn tune where e.g. the tenors have the melody. Show activity on this post. It is the top pitch(highest note) that is heard normally.

As a generalisation, the note heard best is often the highest being played. So, it will depend greatly on which inversion is being listened to. I suspect so far, as intimated from the question, that it's the root version being played. So no great surprise that the 5 is spotted. think about it - if you were harmonising a melody on, say, piano, you'd be putting the melody notes on top of the harmonies. that's because we tend to hear the highest notes better. If we lost that melody note inside the harmony, we wouldn't be hearing the tune we're supposed to. The other end of the spectrum is also valid. In a full-blooded chord with maybe 6 or 7 notes, the lowest will quite often be the root - played by a low sounding instrument - maybe bass. Making it a root version, regardless of what's above. That note defines the chord best. In a C major or C minor, it's still that C. It's what I listen to initially when transcribing chords as it's going to be the first part of what I write down.
